I need an explanation. Why do CBB refs suck so much?

SIAP.

But If I was NW's coach I would've lost my damn mind and might have unalived that ref on the spot. Terrible call. Rewarding bad defense and screwing a kid out of a game tying shot.

Yeah, that's a terrible call. At the very least, the shot counts. It should be an and-1. That should have not only tied the game, it should have given a free throw to potentially win it.

It's been bad for years and it's not me just whining about our games. Any given game you watch you'll see at least 2 or 3 very questionable calls, usually many more. Phantom foul calls when a player gets to the basket are the worst. Not sure if the speed of the game is too fast for the refs or what, but if it wasn't for UK's resurgence with Pope I'd never watch other games. But as bad as it is out of conference, it's even worse in the SEC.

That’s an and 1. They suck because I’m convinced some are on the take, especially with sports gambling so huge now. They are a frat who are all from the same towns or areas. They are a tight nit group with no oversight or accountability. If they legitimately had someone not involved with them or NCAA who had oversight powers a lot of this would stop and they would have to get better to keep a job.

Every single game has makeup calls too. Especially after one team does something stupid and gets a T and is on a run after a couple calls.

College refs make anticipatory calls more than any ref in any other sports. They also let home crowds during conference play dictate the calls they make.
