I am remembering a little bloke from the late 80's at Apollo?
Came with a Russian/Lithuanian company team and cheated us blind.
Called travels whilst jumping on one leg??
As I was a kid I can't remember a whole lot, although a very young fresh out of the AIS Matthew Reece springs to mind ... way too many mid range set shots.
As I recall pre season??? and the development 36ers got hammered by a very tall and talented team.
or maybe I am confused??
Maybe the Russian national team in the 5/6 game series. Aussies lost every game apart from Sydney where Keogh got the starting back court of Russia smashed the night before (as he wasnt playing)and we won in OT?
Do recall the Adelaide game where Gaze (yes Gaze) compeleted one of the best dunks I have ever witnessed live over the 7 2 centre. Was almost like he stepped on his knee ... obvious charge but called a block.
Hang on you were asking about the referee!!! Sorry got stuck in a time warp .. and how bout the Port Magpies premiership, 1990 and and and and LOL
