Jarmal Reid didn't like the call, and made sure the ref knew exactly how he felt by intentionally tripping the official.

Reid is charged with a flagrant 2 foul and is ejected from the game.

Oregon State forward Jarmal Reid was ejected on Sunday night after intentionally tripping a referee.

ESPN college basketball reporter Myron Medcalf explains how Oregon State decided on suspending forward Jarmal Reid for a minimum of four games.

On purpose. In the second half of a basketball game against Utah, the Oregon State senior seemed to temporarily lose his mind and intentionally tripped referee Tommy Nunez.

And Reid seemingly did not give a damn about making the trip look even remotely accidental.

To paraphrase noted basketball philosopher Rasheed Wallace, “video don’t lie,” as it shows Reid, upset about a lack of a possible foul call, getting in position to trip the referee. Reid was promptly hit with a flagrant 2 and immediately ejected from the game.

The incident continues an ugly pattern of referees being singled out and targeted by players on the field.

Whether it is verbal or physical abuse, acts like Reid’s and others need to be condemned by their teams and fellow athletes. Referees are going to miss calls, even blatant obvious
