In a Maui Invitational showdown Monday night between Kansas and Georgetown, Kansas center Jeff Withey was called for his fifth foul with 8:10 left in the second half. The call was extremely dubious, however, because Georgetown forward Nate Lubick pushed Withey, while Withey did nothing.
To top it off, ESPN commentator Jay Bilas reported that referee Jamie Luckie walked over to Withey and told him to shut up.
Kansas had a 5-point lead at the time and won the game in the end 67-63, so fortunately Luckie's terrible call did not impact the end result.
