[QUOTE="SteelHeadEer, post: 129515981, member: 1977642"] Where most officials want to respected by their peers and go unnoticed by the public, Higgins loves the spot light. He likes to give it back to the coaches and he calls fouls to teach lessons on players that have to audacity to complain about his stellar officiating. I watched him almost give a technical to Devin for complaining. He stopped at the foul line, rather demonstratively so everyone could see him, and looked back at Devin and almost T'd him up but didn't. I said to myself that Higgins would get Devin with a phantom foul and make him pay for complaining because thats what Higgins does. Sure enough, not long after Devin had Spangler on his hip and has a line to the basket. Devin drives with Spangler out of position alll the way to the basket and Higgins calls an offensive foul. It might have been one of the worst calls I've seen this year especially considering cousins shouldered Phillip to the floor with an obvious charge call and nothing from any of the refs. Don't get me wrong, Officiating didn't lose the game but it damn well prevented the comeback at a few key junctures like the missed 10 second back court. [/QUOTE]
