That is not what is clouding him! Medical Marijuana is the culprit. There is not a dead head alive that is not "clouded" and I speak from experience!

I watched that! It was pathetic. He kept saying he was "on that tour" I don't know what he was on...but I am sure it was illegal. He actually puts the UCLA team down at times. Speaks almost like he is still on the team......"Hugs are better than Drugs! They should send him to pasture.
I am wondering how many announcers have played this game?
Thought Donny Marshall was the best color guy I've heard in years. Last night's duo was a joke.
You want to see bad? Watch any UCLA or PAC 12 game where Bill Walton does the color. Last week his partner at the game gave him a CD with Dylan and the Greatful Dead and all he did was talk about music and concerts for 40 minutes. Once a Dead Head, always Dead Head!

I really thought that was the worst officiating I had seen in many years.
I replayed the game this morning for some family members and they commented that
it seemed the refs were determined to keep SJU from running Providence out of the gym, with
phantom fouls. I was upset that Lavin didn't deliberately get a technical just so he could have three minutes screaming at the ludicrous nature of the some the calls and to make them aware that
he wasn't going to take them "making it close". I didn't blame Harrison for having to walk off the court to cool off for a minute or Lavin for looking astounded multiple times.
Since I felt that strongly I was also surprised at how little comment was made by the announcers about so many controversial calls. In fact, in two cases, when the fouls were against SJU (like when Providence ran up the floor on Harrison's back and the ball went out of bounds, they called it Providence ball instead of a foul) or...well, there were many...the only comment was "GOOD PLAY by whatever Providence player had just gotten away with the abuse.
We should have won that game by 25 points if we got 40% of the close calls. I admit the refs also fell for the Pointer drama act on one play. Anyway, I thought it was so overtly one sided, it should have gotten some more commentary.
When we were up 12 Pointer and Obekpa combined for a clean block and they called it a goaltend. That spurred them to get within 3. That was the worst call I have ever seen in my life.

I also was getting furious at the ref.
I think the refs were trying to keep the game close,
I think the announcers are selling a product, their business plan can not mention how it can resemble an Andre The Giant vs Hulk Hogan wrestling match at times.
And I think Lavin knows he has a team with a few hot heads on it, and if they see him getting into it with the refs, their emotions could become unhinged.
