slightly worse than spamming his facebook page...

quote:

NCAA referee John Higgins met with law enforcement for more than two hours Tuesday after Kentucky fans sent death threats, repeatedly called his company's office and home -- despite an unlisted number -- and posted a barrage of false messages about his business on the company's Facebook page, sources told ESPN.


quote:

But the nastiness went well beyond those posts. Sources said the phones at Higgins' home and business have been "ringing off the hook" since the game, with angry Kentucky fans calling to complain and some even going so far as to make death threats. That prompted a meeting with law enforcement.


quote:

Higgins declined to comment when reached by phone, but sources said the official will work the Final Four in Glendale, Arizona.


haters gonna hate

I watched the entire UK-UNC game. What call or non-call are they so upset about?

Yeah, you are supposed to send death threats to your players. Show us how it's done Gump.

Clemson fans did the same thing with that game they lost during football season.

It is so pathetic.

Probably the 2 goal tending calls against Bam and the loose ball foul on Willis in the first half as well as Fox getting mauled on the last play before halftime with no call.

The second half was well officiated I thought. I hope I'm never to the point in my life where I get upset about a bunch of 18-21 year olds losing a game and start making death threats.

This is why we need guns in stadiums. Hold the refs accountable.

I don't think LSU fans need a tutorial on sending death threats.

Death threats are way over the line.

That having been said, John Higgins is a thin skinned pussy.

We do a lot of things but blame games on refs is not one of our usual methods. We prefer to blame them on our own coaches or players.

We're not a bunch of whiny pussies.

NCAA Tournament game, not an out of conference game in late November.
