Enough Whining
First we are treated to a full-page spread, a la Rodney Dangerfield, whining and crying about CSUN’s treatment on the road.
Wrong or right, in 90% of games, there is a definite home-court advantage. Those are the joys of playing Division I basketball (go to a USC game).
Then ignoring the perennial powerhouses such as UCLA, Arizona, Indiana and Duke etc., Mike Hiserman singles out Cal to imply they won a game in the East only because the team brought its own referees, which poor CSUN couldn’t do.
Now we read his “unbiased†version of the CSUN-Cal game.
Regardless of justifiable frustration for coach Todd Bozeman, he had no excuse for losing his cool, which I do not condone.
But neither can I understand Hiserman’s motive for what amounts to a vendetta against Cal, concluding (I hope) with today’s amusing piece of fiction.
Jim Murray he is not. Could it be he was denied admission to Cal?
No, I am not a Cal graduate, just a retired referee.
