Big 12 did not formally grade officials until this year apparently.

Passing along an article I seen about the Drew ejection- a memo sent out that was obtained by CBS Sports. Memo emphasizes bench decorum and coaching out of the box. Later on in the article it talks about the Big 12 not formally grade officials.

Court Report: Scott Drew's controversial ejection stemmed from Big 12 memo and league finally grading its refs

Matt Norlander's insider notebook also has more from Rick Pitino, in addition to spotlighting a great new college hoops website

Frankly, the system has worked. The Big 12 has the best officiating in college basketball and it's not particularly close. Curtis Shaw is really good at his job.

Interesting article. Especially when Shaw mentioned unsportsmanlike contact by Head and Assistant Coaches by their sideline movements and actions. I hadn't seen this previously discussed by the media, but in watching games it seemed like certain coaches sideline movements were designed to impact the game. AKA coach moving up the sideline on the weakside, causing cross court passes to a ghost team mate.

About time they enforce the coaches staying in their box. Jamie Dixon would have been ejected from every game so far this year. Hopefully they gave the coaches fair warning about it though.

Now do the football crews.

The old Big 8 rated officials back in the 80's. I knew the person who did it.

Pretty big spin there. Tell the officials who lost assignments after ****** games that they weren't "formally graded."

There were spots reserved at Hilton for officials' observers/evaluators well into the 2010s, if memory serves.
