Check this article. He has a history of calling unwarranted techs. Was possibly suspended from C-USA officiating years ago.

A quick google will show you that a similar thing happened with this ref in a 2022 VCU Vanderbilt game. He should not be back in the Big 12 at all.

One has to think that at least one of the refs had isu and the points.

FYI, Hartness was the ref who ejected the NMSU kid for his sucker punch on the Liberty player. I don't think we could hold that against the guy, but it is strange how he seems to be present for bizarre situations.
Game is archived on ESPN+ under Basketball/Conference USA. All the other archived C-USA games are 1:50:00 to 2:23:00 in length. The NMSU/LU game is 2:36:00, so obviously some long stoppages of play.Guitarbiscuit said:Hotsauce said:

Yep it sure is strange, and I'll bet $2.50 since that Hartness could have been making some bad calls on a repeated basis prior to the sucker punch. But I don't have a video of the game so can't really prove it.
