Worthless Tool Larry Scott backs Ed Rush

[joeybee12]

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott does not believe that coordinator of officials Ed Rush should be fired for telling referees to target Arizona coach Sean Miller during internal meetings before the conference tournament.

"I do not find anything that rises to a fireable offense or a breach of ethics or a breach of the integrity of officiating or the program," Scott told ESPN.com's Andy Katz on Tuesday.

Scott's comment to Katz came one day after the Pac-12 concluded that Rush was joking when he offered a group of officials $5,000 or a trip to Cancun if they hit Miller with a technical foul or ejected him during the conference tournament. The story was reported by CBSSports.com.

Miller was hit with a technical foul during the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament against UCLA for arguing a late double-dribble call against Wildcats guard Mark Lyons.
