Wow, that is just absolutely awful. The ref is standing three feet away watching the play!!
22 calls from one ref all against UK?

Correct. But proper boxing out does not begin with an elbow to the back. Radford beating reeves to the spot didn’t help there as reeves crashed down on him afterwards. Long rebound radford had zero chance to get. A no call would have been warranted there as no advantage was gained as the ball kicked long but I can’t take issue with the call there either as Reeves did in fact push him from behind. Only issue I take is A&M got away with numerous similar push offs.
I think UKs play was terrible and the officiating did not help.
Go look at Reeves fourth foul. Shows is right at the baseline and does not flinch or care at all. Poole is at the sideline and can only see Reeves’ back. He cannot see his arms. Yet he blows the whistle

Sadly I believe refs are instructed to call a game a certain way. The only investigation needed is if they don't call the way they are wanted to
This is kind of the problem. Having "points of emphasis" is a stupid concept in general. We have a rule set and the officials should know and attempt to call them all as written period. That is there complete job, there is no such thing as one rule we look to call more than the other.
Similar play happened in Big Ten where a player tripped over his teammate's foot and they called a foul on the opposing player and he was 15 ft to the side of the player who tripped and fell. It's embarrassing.
If this is true the a lawsuit should be filed requiring the SEC to return every ticket holders cost of attending the game . It is consumer fraud plain and simple . No way that is honest .
my neighbor said another site is reporting this ref is a close friend of the NBA ref caught cheating and the NBA won’t touch him for that reason.

Here’s Jamie Luckie talking about “The Craft of Officiating” which includes topics such as “mirroring calls,” “hitting well known coaches like Cal” with Ts, and “giving the little guy more latitude!” Excuse me? The day a ref gloats that he’s the difference between Elon losing to Duke by 20 (in reality it was only 13!) instead of getting blown out is a sad day! JUST CALL THE GAME FAIRLY! That’s all we want!

So does every single fanbase. People that post on message boards are a tiny fraction of fanbases. And a portion of those people are more likely to be the ones that complain about officiating. So, a portion of a small fraction is what you are bitching about? Ok. Uh, maybe. But no one...

Interesting, indeed.
If I told you that the SEC was the one who told the refs to make those calls would you believe it. I do. Everything is now about money, and the more teams the SEC gets into the tourney the more money they receive in "units".
This explains it fairly well.

March Madness unit payouts will deliver tournament-high $34 million to SEC. The Big 12 ($32 million) is next, followed by the Big East ($30 million).

It turns out the SEC tournament is not only useless but it's actually harmful for the top seeds.

I am curious what the random chances would be that a player, in this case Reeves, would only foul out under ONE referee? And every time said player fouled out, the team would lose?
I'm convinced we got hosed. I'm also ready to put it behind us but dust this off if we ever get this crooked bastage again.
Yeah, it's too unusual to just be a coincidence. And he called some terrible fouls against Reeves. He took him out of the first half early and then called the 3rd right after the 2nd half started. It's probably the fewest minutes Reeves has played this season, or very close to it. If the fouls were obvious, we couldn't say much, but they weren't obvious, not even close.
Absolutely believe this. Think it goes on across the sport too.If I told you that the SEC was the one who told the refs to make those calls would you believe it. I do. Everything is now about money, and the more teams the SEC gets into the tourney the more money they receive in "units".

You are correct. At 18 minutes, this was the fewest minutes Reeves has played this season.
Bad defense cost us the game... that POS just insured that it happened imo
Mr.Poole did make every call against us. It was very obvious who he wanted to win.
And now that it is so easily accessible to place a bet it's only going to get worse.
Poole going after Reeves was obvious when you look at the fouls. Will Cal send those calls into the office for review? Poole should not get away with this cheating bias job. Bad enough to do a kid like that but to be involved in the outcome of the game brings a lot of people into play. Would be a perfect time to make a ref an example for being a rogue ref.
Until this is looked into further, it would not be wise for Poole to officiate any more UK games, especially the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Fans probably need to be vocal (respectfully, of course), calling in to sports shows with these concerns and bringing it to the attention of media personalities who are in a position to do something about it to raise awareness (some likely won’t touch it due to past litigation with Higgins). If we stick to the facts rather than allegations of motivation, we are more likely to get somewhere.
The facts are that Antonio Reeves has only fouled out 3 times, and Olandis Poole officiated each of those 3 games, all of which we lost. All 3 likely would have had a different outcome had he not fouled out or been in foul trouble. We want to know if there’s more to this story.

So you’re saying the league fixes the games to get a couple bubble teams in. Then they are going to investigate themselves and find themselves guilty. OK.
I don't understand why people give these refs the benefit of the doubt. There are multiple refs who are undoubtedly betting on games.
I’ve said for years that I think the conferences/NCAA (aka the ones signing the checks) are handing down directives.
Cal has been vocally critical and even proposed abolishing the NCAA in the past. We were breaking college basketball in his first few years here by winning and reloading. They didn’t like that/him and decided they had to stop it.
The SEC is about money. A while back they decided the more teams that make the tournament the better. This isn’t rocket science. The league is destroying everything from conferences to games. It’s an arms race and they want to win it. This is about maximizing bids. The game has totally changed, the only way we keep up is if we get a coach who goes all in and doesn’t give them a choice.
We’ve got two problems right now. A coach who competes with one arm tight behind his back, and the SEC who wants to generate revenue. You cannot win in this league with this happening.

Another thing people can do, make signage at the games. If I was in a position to get to a few UK games a year, I'd absolutely make a sign that says "Poole is on the take $$$".. all 20k people will have a chance to see it, and so will Poole.
NCAA certainly isn't going to be happy if fans put up signs that basically call out the sport for being rigged. Sporting leagues tske the integrity of the game VERY seriously because if they lose that, they lose the sport entirely.
I am saying that for some reason Poole is anti UK. A ref doesn't have a history with us like him if something isn't up. A ref doesn't go after a teams best player like he did without a reason.
It’s the third time. Reeves has only fouled out 3 games at Ky. All three he was on the crew. One last year, two this. The bad loss uncw was his. Wonder what the payoff was for a straight up win on that game. Favored by 18 I think.
With our talent, we should be able to win that game with any 5 players. Losing Reeves (and no Wagner, no Ivisic, no Onyenso) meant Sheppard and Dillingham play more. It meant Mitchell at the 5.
This is the reason I'm putting money on any team playing UK. Might as well get something if the fix is truly in. Refs hate Cal and must hate us at this point so give me my $$$$
