Two Big 12 ejections I'd look at and be like, maybe that's a coincidence.

Three, we know what's going on here.

A message is being sent by coaches across the Big 12 conference to the league office and to the officials.

So on Monday night, Big Monday, Lubbock, Texas, Kevin McCuller, supposed to make his return.

this case, but the first ejection since he's been a coach in this conference. And that was Bill Self.

Bill Self got tossed from this game on Monday night, and it happened a week and a half after Scott

Drew got ejected from his first game, and about a week after Kelvin Samson got tossed

from his first game ever at Houston. I mean, these are career firsts, in many cases, happening

for three of the premier coaches in this conference.

And they have had enough.

They are done with the Big 12 officiating.

And as I said last week, the league office has got to look at this.

And I know that there's not Big 12 officials per se.

I understand, and Matthew Postins and I talked about this last week.

But something is going on where the coaches feel like they're not getting the right draw of quality officials.

And it's got to change and it's got to change ASAP.
