Do you think the officials get tired?

I know they all are grey haired and out of shape. But have you ever noticed that there is always a foul called at the 16, 12, 8, and 4 minute mark? It's like they need a breather or oxygen.

Mike Nance is the king of blowing whistle for a break.

More likely that it's network incentives to maximize commercial air time ...
If we have a clean game from 16:01- 11:00 min left ESPN or whoever lost atleast 2 valuable full length commercial segments.
And if you watch they try to make it up late by tick tack fouls that stop the clock and allow a team to get into foul time and we all know the last 3-4 minutes can take an hour especially in this league.
Theyre always in the market to cram more ads and commercials down people's throats. I guess that's what pays these big media contracts that help the SEC so much but damn.
