Doug Sirmons isn’t a popular guy on the internet right now
Doug Sirmons was out of line. Even the South Carolina fans around me feel bad for John Calipari and Kentucky after Calipari was tossed two minutes into the game at the hands of Sirmons. Sirmons sprinted all the way across the court to give Calipari his first technical, then quickly gave him a second and sent him back to the locker room. Those two have never been on good terms, and Sirmons took their hatred for one another to the next level today.
Former Tennessee head coach Buzz Peterson called it “absolutely embarrassing to college officiating.”
What Doug Sirmons did today is absolutely embarrassing to college officiating. He has a short fuse and coaches for years have complained.

Sirmons was trending nationally on Twitter, which is never a good thing if you’re an official.

He should get suspension for that garbage.
Depends on what Cal actually said. Cal did nothing in his actions to get tossed but what did he say. Now it has to be really bad or a direct remark at Sirmons to warrant the ejection, if not agree with you he should sit for several games.
So tired of getting screwed by refs EVERY GAME!! OMG do they hate UK that much? That was clearly a 3 Tyler made we just saw the replay and they gave him 2! The officiating in the game especially early on was so one sided, I was thinking these refs have to be betting on South Carolina, it was embarrassing.
Maybe now people will realize how a call here and there (by guess who?) made a difference vs. Wisconson … and Kansas, too, for that matter.
I just took a giant Doug Sirmons
Doug Sirmons rapes kittens.
There needs to be a national system for referees. There are sooo many inept, asswipe officials calling college games right now it is ridiculous.
Doug Sirmens is so dumb he can’t even fix a game right.
If Tai is going to redshirt anyway, he just needs to go out there and punch Sirmons right in the mouth! 😉
Quite honestly, if this jackass was found face down in a ditch somewhere, college basketball would be a better place. Come to think of it, so would the world.
Doug Sirmens should fornicate himself with an iron stick.
Regardless of what Cal said, I’d bet the farm that he wouldn’t have ejected Coach K with 37.5 minutes left in the game. He should be embarrassed and banned from all UK games in the future.
I am sure the SEC has had 1000’s of calls and emails about that guy, but it hasn’t done anything to stop him so evidently they don’t intend to.
Semen is a poo poo head, he’s a cock of poo poo
I blame ESPN for this. ESPN paid billions of dollars to get the SEC contract. Now they want each and every game to be close with a chance for a major team to lose. That way casual fans keep it on their channel so they get better ratings. Higher rating results in higher prices for the commercials. Just like in football. They want Bama to be in close games. The same with KY in basketball. If KY has a 20-30 point lead the casual fans change it to another channel.
So since the TN game I have not had my tv on any ABC network. No Disney channels and No Disney movies in the theater. And since doing this I have wake up each and every morning just as if I would if I had watched their tv shows.
I can’t wait for him to come to Rupp Arena.
What is it with guys named Doug (Sirmons and Shows) being terrible at officiating?
Ky has always got screwed remember “Don Rutledge” the Ref. But things have gotten worse cause the NCAA hates coach Cal. The book he wrote didnt help. But there should be and investigation into last years tourney seeding. There has never been a stronger overall #1 seed and ky had a crazy hard road. Then go look at Duke’s road to final 4.
I remember the Don Rutledge days and Hank Nichols too. Nichols was the head of officials after he stopped calling games which didn’t help Kentucky either. I hate to be the conspiracy guy but with those guys, then Harold Boudreaux we have not a respectful relationship with officials.
I thought the Wisconsin game was the worst officiated game I’d ever seen. A Wisconsin fan, also friend, texted me after the game apologizing for the ref shafting (he’s born and raised in Wisconsin). Then came Kansas… No wonder they haven’t lost at home. Now there was this garbage… NCAA needs to take a hard look at their officials. Granted they don’t hold any of their rules consistently. Just look at coach K
If he is that bad on a consistent basis someone at the League office needs to fire his ass at the end of the season. Does anyone have the balls to do that?
Hey, Sirmons has a short fuse, we get it. The ejection was senseless, he embarrassed himself, and maybe he’s even a jerk. But you classless idiots that spew 4th grade remarks on this public thread… like “down in a ditch” and “fornicate with an iron stick”…grow up. There’s no place for that garbage here. Keep it classy and don’t embarrass yourself or the rest of us.
The only embarrassment is that this guy is repeatedly allowed to dictate the outcome of extremely important games by being an irrational, biased jackass. Our guys fight way too hard for some blowhard to be given this much power. Him and his short “fuse” (if that’s what we’re calling it) can go call Florida games.
Look at the Ts and losses . . . and remember what might have been: http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/statistics/Officials/Doug_Sirmons.html
Is it possible that Saturday’s debacle will prevent Sirmons from working any UK games come March?
Cant say Cal didn’t play a part, maybe intentionally…. He didn’t deserve the first technical, and Sirmons is by all accounts a douche bag. But Cal earned that second T that got him ejected. As in George Brett with the pine tar style earned.
The Wisconsin Game… I’m still stuck on running the shot clock down to 4 seconds before even starting to make a move for the basket. And every team seems to do it. For God sake start with the condition it back out, or here’s a thought, kick it to your brother with his knack for burying late threes while you have The Big KAT and Willie down low.
