I have attended a lot of Final Fours in my 76 years, but the refs in this Final Four were, without a doubt, the worse I have ever seen. It wasn't just one thing, but the whole tournament. I wish they would give the coaches two red flags, just like the NFL, one for each half, and if the call was overturned, the team would not be charged a timeout, but if it was not overturned, the team would be charged with a timeout. If it was overturned, the coach should get his "red flag" back and could use it again that half.
I would bet the games would be called a lot better.
I thought three refs would improve the calling, but I think they have only made it worse. We can all recall where teams got screwed in this Final Four, not just UK. Why should a call only be allowed to be reviewed the last 2 minutes of a game. The goal that Wisconsin made when they took the ball out with 3 seconds on the shot should have been reviewed, but it wasn't allowed since there were 2 minutes and 25 seconds on the clock. A wrong should be made right, regardless of the time, and if the coach had the red flag, it could be.
GO BIG BLUE!
