Basically, the head of PAC-12 officials, Ed Rush, is accused of bribing his own officials to give the Arizona basketball coach a technical foul during their semifinals game against UCLA.
Rush...told a group of referees on the Thursday of the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas that he would give them $5,000 or a trip to Cancun if they either "rang him up" or "ran him," meaning hit Miller with a technical or toss him out of the game.
With less than 5 minutes left in the game, coach Sean Miller was called for a technical, awarding UCLA 2 shots. UCLA eventually won, 66-64. In case you forgot our last experience with PAC-12 refs, it ended something like this:
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
EDIT: Ed Rush is only the head of basketball officiating. Conspiracy level lowered to DEFCON 3.
