Does Michigan only have one pre-Christmas conference game?
Anybody hear as to why that is? I’m pretty sure I read their schedule right.

Seems like we aren't the only ones with low opinions of B1G refs.The ball handler also stepped out of bounds before the pass.The trailing official had to see it.Another ref was standing right on the line at OSU's end.Hard to see how both violations were missed.
No reversal of the victory, but admission by the Big Ten offices that mistakes were made.Since it was a buzzer beater any chance the conference reverses the victory?

EDIT: Didn't even realize that Thornton (the OSU player who was bringing the ball up the court) also stepped out of bounds on that final play. That's a lot of missed calls.
The league released a statement several hours later that said the winning play "should have been stopped and the ball ruled dead. The officiating crew that was on the court is one of the best in the country, but unfortunately missed the call. The Big Ten Conference takes officiating very seriously and has addressed the matter with both the member institutions and the officiating crew. Additionally, the conference will be providing added education and rule reinforcement to our basketball officials."No reversal of the victory, but admission by the Big Ten offices that mistakes were made.

Did we see any type of article like this after the Michigan football game?No reversal of the victory, but admission by the Big Ten offices that mistakes were made.

I can dig up some links, but in Pittsburgh his department contracted with a software company that was awarded a sizable contract but did no work. His police chief tasked someone to audit his departments use of that company then filed a federal whistleblower complaint. His subordinate then harassed the auditor until it went to the courts when Larry strategically retired and played dumb.Can you provide links to stories about these firings for corruption? I’ve seen this same thing posted on here before (not sure if by you). All I’ve found is that he retired/resigned (not fired) from Pittsburgh force. He was fired from Ft Lauderdale force as you say, but not for corruption but rather alleged discriminatory practices (giving promotions based on race and gender). None of stories I’ve seen mention corruption at all.
You wrote “he’s been fired twice for corruption” in your previous post, yet you admit he resigned from one post and news reports say he was fired for alleged bias not corruption. I think it is probably important to point out that the allegations were lodged by white male officers that he made promotions based on race (non-white) gender (female) and sexual orientation. Scirotto is mixed race and openly gay. I’m not saying that bias of any kind is OK, but just saying “bias based on race” conjures up a different image than what was true.I can dig up some links, but in Pittsburgh his department contracted with a software company that was awarded a sizable contract but did no work.

In Florida, not only was was he demonstrating bias based on race he was having a subordinate clock him into his police job while he was away officiating. An auditor noticed that he was clocked into his police job while he was on TV and he opened an investigation. Larry fired the auditor, then was fired himself.
I saw that too Pru. Thought it was a joke…
Yes, I saw that or a similar article. Doesn’t change the fact that you CHOSE to say in your original post that he was fired twice for corruption, which is not true, rather than there were two cases of alleged corruption lodged against him. For what reason? It seems like it was to bolster your assertion that he is a corrupt ref — rather than just a bad one — and doing Las Vegas or the Big Ten’s bidding. Also It does not look like Scirotto had anything to do with the auditor’s firing as it happened after or around the time he was fired himself.Fired city auditor believes ex-Fort Lauderdale police chief possibly committed ‘criminal violations’

They really put that on their letterhead, eh? Yikes
