Great Pitino quote

As a former official (many moons ago), I love what Rick said.
...Official do not cheat
...They do make mistakes
...So boo them and hate them (part of the game)
...But stop the Blame Game.
 
So 2017 didn’t happen.
I agree we all make mistakes players coaches and referees alike, but acting like some of those poor decisions are not calculated and done on purpose. It’s just not realistic.
Agreed. But it's not NEARLY as common as some here want to think it is.

That game came down to one bad call but it was because of a number of failures prior to that. Hit free throws, cutdown on turnovers, you name it. Any one piece executed correctly before the end could have swayed the outcome. By failing to execute you put the ref in the position to fail and cost you your goal. At least then you make it so egregious everyone has to take notice.

There were several key no calls as well
