I hope the MAAC gets better refs for the game. The refs in the SPU game were a joke. One of the refs, Jeff Fox, had officiated only ten D1 games in his career before the SPU tilt, according to StatSheet.com. Earl Robinson had reffed only seven games this year before SPU/Iona. The third ref, Brandon Cruz, was the experienced ref with 26 contests this season. The better D1 refs do about 75 games a year. The crew totally lost control of the game despite calling three technicals. This crew should be reprimanded for their poor performance, lack of judgement and poor knowledge of the rules. No way should there be two inexperienced refs in one game. Lay off my boy Jeff Fox

No way should there be two inexperienced refs in one game. I see this as more of a ref assignment issue than blaming the refs themselves. There should be a rule within the ref assignment function (whoever does that) to have two of the three refs assigned to have x (minimum) amount of game experience under their belts. Kind of like mandatory flying hours for a pilot before he can fly solo. For that game, they may as well have pulled a dad from each team onto the floor to ref.

Guy, just saw your tweet about Kennedy's statement. If he said that, he contract should not be renewed. That statement is not only biased but has racial undertones. The man obviously has never spoken to Laury.

The man obviously has never spoken to Laury. There were no racial undertones. Also it was off air versus on air. Not justifying it, but just stating facts.

Off air or not, the statement was made in a public place where it could be heard by many.

It was just dumb. Not racist. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time things like this have been said, and in other instances, they've been stated publicly. Anyone remember Mihalic's presser after we beat Niagara in the MAAC semis when he said he recruited Laury when he was a junior in HS 8 years ago, or last year's comments about our roster from the Marist announcers.

Is it true he's going around telling people the Triborough Bridge was re-named after him
