If the following report is true, a certain official should be placed on probation. When Mike Tisdale was pushed from behind, knocked off balance and called for traveling Wednesday at Iowa, a bench onlooker in whom I trust said: "When Bruce (Weber) complained, the ref ran by and responded, 'Tell him to put some meat on his bones.' The Iowa defender had two hands in Tisdale's back."

Such is life in big-time basketball. The stronger you are, the more you can get away with. Watch Tisdale, Jay, and you'll see him being pushed all over the place. Maybe you can explain how that activity differs from sumo wrestling.
