Tim Floyd gets ejected from the game after a controversial charge call on Daniel Hackett during the Trojans' loss. Floyd thought referee Dick Cartmell signaled a blocking foul and made basket on the play.

Way to go Coach Floyd. Your technicals just cost USC any chance of winning the game. Dude, you need to chill out. Watch Phil Jackson on the sideline. I doubt he gets too many technicals in the last minute of the game. Your boys worked so hard; too bad you cost them. You should apologize. And you needed a security escort? Nice.

The charging foul cost USC the game. Floyd was fired up, which is more than we can say for the players sometimes. I liked it. It was a BS call that essentially ended the game. Nothing to lose at that point.
It was a 50-50 call and it went against SC. That official didn't seem to be signaling anything when I watched it again. I'm not sure what Floyd and Hackett were screaming about.

The Scummies were on their heels and the Trojans were on a roll when Tim Floyd lost his poise and cost the players the game. We have good players. You can't tell me that Arizona has better players than SC, yet the Milkcats have passed us by. Floyd needs to go.

Didn't see the game, but the L.A. Times account was that SC was down by 6 with under a minute to play. So SC needed that potential 3-point play to have a prayer. When they did not get it Floyd must have thought what the heck, game over, I am going to cut loose here.

Yeah, that call essentially ended the game. And, it was a bad call, as it was an overturn of the head referee's original blocking call. It looked like a clear block to me as the defender slid in front late and was still moving. Regardless, we simply don't have enough scorers. Lewis is a streaky B player who can't create. Taj is a defensive/rebounder who has never developed a good offensive game. Hack is a #2 playing PG whose been asked to flow the offense. DeRo is still very green and developing. We are good defensively, but simply don't have enough talent to put the biscuit in the basket. I guarantee that NO OTHER coach could get more out of this team than Floyd. We have a talent issue this season without Mayo.
