Former Manhattan, St. John's and New Mexico head basketball coach Fran Fraschilla, now a college basketball commentator for ESPN, isn't usually the type to trash the officials. But last night's Stanford-UCLA debacle was too much for him:

"There's one place left in my opinion where that still goes on, where the home team, or the team that's favored to win, gets the advantage. I hate to say it, it's the Pac-10," Fraschilla said. "I wanted to run into a bathroom and throw up last night after that call, because I felt bad for that Stanford team."

Earlier in the same show, Fraschilla referred to the foul called on Lawrence Hill for what appeared to be a clean block on Darren Collison, "the worst call of the season."

How bad a call was it? Even Collison said, "That was a clean block. We were fortunate to get a call on that play. I heard it was a make-up, but we'll take it."
