Ok that’s fine. There was a college coach there watching that saw it. There was a 80 year old deacon in a church and his wife that saw it. There was several people that saw it. I didn’t see it but I can say this he’s more into watching the crowd than the game. I watched both games and the refs were fine IMO. Didn’t determine the out come at all. The best teams was varnum girls and Cyril boys. But people don’t call him the crowd watcher for nothing. I saw him pull the whistle out of his mouth and talk to people in the stands.I’m not sure but I hope someone got it on video.I know our supt is gonna call the ossaa and talk to them. I have a hard time believing at least 8/10 people that I talked to personally are just making it up.the college coach was a baseball coach and was just watching the girls game and he saw it.plus I had 2 coaches text me asking me what went on and I told them and they wasn’t surprised at all.so you believe what u want no biggie to me either way.

This is absurd. If you're saying that Steve Kessinger, a very well respected person and official, flipped off someone in the crowd then you're just trying to get stuff stirred up. Ridiculous.

I'm with Jimmy here. Did someone see something and they thought that's what it looked like? Maybe. But I've knows Steve long enough to know that he would never do something that unprofessional.
And how ironic that the guy screaming like a crazy person is yelling "BE PROFESSIONAL" as he's being escorted out because of the way he acted at a high school basketball game.

Y’all can believe what u want. I didn’t see it myself but that don’t mean it didn’t happen. All I can tell you is he worries to much about the crowd and spends to much time looking in the stands. Does that mean he’s sucks no. I felt he did a good job reffing. I felt all 3 days we was there the reffing was good. Will everyone think that well no.we lost to varnum and the officials had nothing to do with it. 8/10 people said they saw him flip him off. Idk I tried to look on Skordle and on a girl’s Facebook that was doing a live feed. I didn’t see it but he’s not always in view.2 people that saw it wasn’t from either school. They told me in passing they saw it. Idk or I really don’t care. I don’t care how long any of you people has known him. Just because u known someone a long time don’t mean crap.Maby he lost his temper idk or care. I damn sure wouldn’t get on here and make it up I can tell u that. I’m not hiding who I am go back in look at posts it’s easy to figure out who I am. And I’ve been tossed plenty of times too. But none this week. Like I said the officials was good IMO.

I was at this game as a neutral observer and sitting near the referee when the confrontation happened. I have no idea whether the referee did anything inappropriate or not...I have to say that I doubt that he did. What is not in question is that the couple from Whitesboro acted like a complete clown show. The clip is about 01:47:30 of the skordle feed. You can only hear their voices, which in my opinion does not do full justice to the scene they were causing. Completely embarrassing. I understand that we all let our emotions get the best of us once in a while, but for them to pretend their behavior was anything other than being upset that a chance to go to the state tournament had slipped away is disingenuous in my opinion. Officiating was fine.

Ross12 I agree to the officiating was fine. I’ve never said no different. The guy in question did a good job both games the girls game I saw and the bv cryil game.
