The main thing I saw was the lack of spectators.

If no one is interested in watching these basketball games, then they should cancel the basketball program and save the taxpayers a bunch of money.

It is a teachable moment. The ref should have laid the kid out on his back.

You have got to be kidding. You would be considered part of the problem.

“Obama’s America.”

Come on. This started many, many years before Obama became president.

His choice is one that will cost him the rest of his life. He could be the greatest High School player in America, but he would not get a scholarship or any other reward.

It doesn't matter if the ref made a right call or a wrong call it is the obligation of the players to play the game, not beat up the ref.

That young man looked fairly tall, and handled the ball well. Still, he gave up a college scholarship ~ no one wants an anger management problem like that on the court ~ or in court ~ which is where he's going.

Bet he's pretty good in prison ball though ~ he's pretty quick on pushing back so he'll get to keep his front teeth.

Doesn’t matter—the kid’s choice to punish the Referee ended his future, period. I hope the temporary satisfaction that he gained was worth it..

Counting the seconds until the ejected player claims the ref called him the N word.

So the ref gets slammed to the ground for the wrong call? Man, the ref that took Calvin Johnson’s TD away against the Bears should have been shot!

That referee made the wrong call - the guy in the red was pushing himself on the kid in white. - all the kid did was push that guy in the red off of him.

The ref made the correct call - both of them.

Watch the video again. The ref blew his whistle to call a foul on the kid in red; and then called the technical on the kid in white.
