Huskies Throwing Elbows? Cool. Ducks Throwing Elbows? Ejection Time!

I’m watching the Ducks and Huskies play in the second round of the Pac-10 Tournament against the Huskies and Aaron Brooks has just been ejected from the game. Brooks threw an elbow into Husky Guard Ryan Appleby‘s face after Appleby, on the previous possession, appeared to intentionally elbow Brooks in the face. Both Brooks and Appleby were bleeding. The officials didn’t call a foul on Appleby but did throw Brooks out of the game, crippling the Ducks’ chance to win. That’s Pac-10 officiating for you.

Also, Ernie Kent is horrible at teaching rebounding and defense. It’s absolutely incredible that someone whose players have no concept of how to box out or play proper defense isn’t on the coaching hot seat.
