Texas Tech Ad Kirby Hocutt manifested a statement after discarding JT Toppin in Houston Win – Lubbockonline.com

As the Texas Tech basketball team ended the larger road victory of 82-81 over the sixth ranking Houston, the Texas Tech director, Kirby Hokut, took the social media to deal with the circumstances earlier in the game.

No. 19 Red Raiders lost both leading goal scorer and a JT Toppin reebing and head coach Grant McCalsland at 16:10 of the first half. Topipin was rated on floral 2 after inadvertently kicking Joseph Tugger until Crosscourt’s pass to McMilian’s accident. The officials examined the play, which was not considered a live foul, during the media waiting time and decided that the play justified the discard.

McCalsland was looking at the repetition of the call, which led to his best player forced to leave the game and took the Umbrage with him, screaming “He’s Passing the Ball.” The chief technology coach continued to argue with the officials, giving him two technically and earning his own discard.

The ESPN2 games have expressed their disapproval of calling throughout the competition. Hokut shared his feelings and issued the following statement.

“I am horrified and disappointed with the rude decision of the official decision to throw a JT Toppin from tonight a basketball match against Houston,” Hokut’s statement said. “This decision made on a play, which was obviously accidental and without intent, is unacceptable.

“Immediately after the discard, I talked to the Commissioner (Bret) Jormark, who assured me that the situation would be addressed and would have accountability. On behalf of Red Raider Nation, we are extremely proud of our team and the management of the coach McCalsland.”

After the Red Raiders finished their victory, McCalsland had a semi-resolution, posting a photo of himself and Topin in the dressing room labeled “The most difficult team wins.”
