From the award winning online student publication:
quote:

Thought he was formally ejected by Valentine on the court, Hardin continued watching the game from section 118 of the Auburn Arena.


"Thought" he was formally ejected....

Dude should lose his court side privileges - even if he is right about the calls.

My AU brethren - is he a big-money guy? I saw a quote from a player: "I don't know what happened but I know that's my boy, man," Auburn guard Chris Denson said.

Ref is a prick.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Not even fans were immune to the referee's whistle Wednesday night at Auburn Arena.

Michael Hardin, 41, was ejected midway through the second half of Auburn's 83-67 victory against South Carolina after criticizing referee Ted Valentine from his court-side seat along the Auburn baseline.

The Tigers were up 59-44 on South Carolina with 12:01 remaining. Hardin, who says he walked on at Auburn's basketball team in 1991, said he had enough of the foul disparity between the teams.

"I think everybody who was sitting with me was pretty much frustrated with the calls and we had been telling the refs to blow their whistle," Hardin told AL.com. "They have a whistle, blow it, and on that last play Jordon Granger drove the lane and he got slapped so hard on the arm that everybody could hear it. They didn't call a foul and as soon as that ref came over in front of us, I simply said to him, 'Did you hear that?' I said it pretty loud. As soon as I said that he turned around he said 'I want him out of here.'"

Auburn was called for eight fouls in the second half before South Carolina was whistled and charged with a foul with 14:40 remaining in the second half.

au basketball has hit rock bottom when the bigger story is a fan getting ejected, rather than a win

I've never understood the officiating in our league.

For a conference that tries so hard to be the most dominant at all things, our officials sure suck.

I actually blame our basketball a lot on the officials. No other league in the country has such a home court disparity like ours. Was it last year, or maybe the year before when league teams only won 11 combined road games? Something like that.

Here is another example of auburn fans doing no wrong and everyone is out to get them. I am still amazed by the mentality.
