Hey, you look familiar...
One of the referees who called the Utes' game at Wyoming on Wednesday was Tim Gabutero.

Why is that notable?

Because former Weber State coach Joe Cravens was working as an analyst for the radio broadcast of the game on KALL-AM 700 in Salt Lake City.

And Cravens had not seen Gabutero since the referee changed a charging call to a blocking call that went against Cravens during his tenure as coach at Weber State several years ago - igniting the infamous block-charge dance that Cravens performed as he left the court following his ejection, a comical bit of fury that landed Cravens on countless highlight reels.

Speaking of Cravens, a column by Randy Hollis in the Ogden Standard-Examiner on Wednesday speculated that Utah coach Ray Giacoletti will meet the same fate that his good friend Cravens did at WSU - getting fired. We'd link to it, but the Standard has one of those annoying fee-based, subscription web sites.
