Major props to Tehran today, they 100% dominated us today! They played extremely well and deserved the win! With that being said the old white ref, Jamie?(idk his name) is STEALING everyone’s money and needs to get out this league, I’ve never in my life seen a ref miss or make so many one sides calls. Saying under his breathe while I’m at the free throw line towards me “i swear to f***** god....” is 100% unacceptable. Everyone watching the game and even players from Tehran would agree the calls he chose to make were ridiculous. Again, I’m not taking anything away from Tehran Bc they are a great team in this league but that ref is ruining games. I watched him not blow the whistle during the Cairo vs Beirut game when they literally head locked Popal right in front of him. This isn’t a complaint about the league, just a complaint of that specific ref

I thought the refereeing was aight. The tall bald ref gave you guys a lot of calls, the white one maybe gave us some calls. Either way, complaining only started towards the very end of the game.

Gave him a bounce pass..... that’s how pathetic...

Let's not blame the refs for what happens on the court. If we (the players) get all the praise when we win and play well, then we should take the blame when we lose and don't play our greatest. I've played in this league for about 5 years now, and we've had the same refs since I first entered the league. Yes, they're not the best, and yes, I've complained to commissioners about how they could at times be in a word, terrible. However, Kazan, you guys are a great team, made the championship game last season, started off this season 3-0 before today, and Patrick, great player, MVP last season and probably leading candidate to win it again this season, you should not lose composure like that. It was a bad game, stay composed, come back next week and again prove how dominant you guys could be. Most people know you're a top team, prove it.

P.S: I don't mean to call anybody out. I meant all of that in the nicest way possible. Huge fan of your team and what you guys have done the past 2 seasons.

Guys, I will admit, he’s not my favorite ref either and does make some questionable calls and no calls. But to be fair, he wasn’t THAT bad today. In my opinion, the new bald guy on Court A today was much worse. But either way, who cares. The refs have been loyal to this league for a while and don’t deserve the disrespect you guys were showing them. If I was the white ref I probably would have recommended your team be suspended the next game or two because of the things some of your players were calling him and saying to him. It’s really not that serious. With that said, I don’t think the refs made much of an impact in this game at all. Everyone played hard and one team just happened to break away at the end. The refs didn’t make our 3’s go in, and they didn’t make you guys tired towards the end of the second half. Get over it and show up next week.

To say he wasn’t “THAT” bad today says a lot in itself. I’m also not the only person per some of the comments above that have complained about him today, and in the past . Remember, they not volunteering to ref, they get paid for this. If we have guys saying he’s actually much worse on other days, that should suffice. At the end of the day, a ref clearly holding grudges towards players is a bad look.

Now game wise, we lost and there really isn’t an excuse , but to say no impact at all.... ehhhh.... when my team is in foul trouble 10 mins into the game and I’m creating just as much contact (if not more) but not getting the same calls... u start to question the” impact”..... again we could’ve had nba refs there today and we still would’ve lost Bc we got outplayed, but we’re not going to completely ignore the fact that this maybe the worst ref most of us ever played with. When you have a ref behind u, cursing u out underneath his breathe how could stay “composed”. We all grown men, Weiss had the same issue with a ref last year Bc the ref got crazy on him, don’t see the huge difference here, besides the fact they almost fought lol.

I agree. I wanna say I know most of them by name, although there’s been a couple new ones this season that I don’t recognize. Unfortunately, I don’t think that would have done much in this specific situation. But you’re right, people complain about officiating at every level. At the end of the day, it is what it is. I am just politely requesting that the ref that has OPENLY ADMITTED to not liking us to not ref OUR games anymore. I mean who ejects someone without even dishing out technicals first? For a bounce pass nevertheless. Pathetic.
