Racking Issue with SVB at 8 ball US Open

Did any of you watch the SVB - Kiamco 8 ball match? I was in the booth doing commentary with Ken and put him on the spot, with no pre warning to him, about the issue that happened in the one pocket between SVB - JJ and the 'spinning of a ball'. I was impressed with Ken's candor, his ownership that he rushed the situation he was put in without his ball marker and could tell that he truly has no bias in his calls. Yes, he has favorite players, but he does not let that effect any of his decision making.

Not sure if that match is on YouTube but you all should listen to it before you want to string Ken up.

To me, Billy I and Ken are the two best announcers in the game we have today. Some people say about themselves (which always amazes me) they are a great commentator but if you actually just listen to them, they are far from it.
 
It could be that Ken regrets not doing anything. Maybe he just brain farted, and it never crossed his mind to do something. I don't really like guessing people's intentions in a spot like that because their are so many things that could have been going through his mind.
And again, he very well may not have been supposed to do anything.

I wish I could ask him. From what I've seen I think he would be honest as to whether he made a mistake by not acting.

I asked Ken and already told you what he was thinking. He wasn't a presiding official. He's not going to interfere on a match that he's not a official referee.



Freddie <~~~ maybe guessing at Ken's intention should indeed be stopped

You doing great Freddie, keep up the fight!, Looking forward to hearing you and Ken work together again in the booth!
