If you think our refs were bad

Yeah there’s no grand conspiracy against UK. Refs are just bad because it’s largely a difficult job and the talent pool is very small. These guys are reffing literally seven days a week in a lot of cases with very little downtime.
Refs appear bad because they are. There are very few games that are decided by who is the better team on a night.
Everyone has a boss. Just remember that .
Have you wondered why every single road game is called a certain way and an inferior team keeps the game close or wins? It isn't because of home court. Sure home court matters, but not every time. The gambling world controls everything. These refs are told how to call each game. Hell we've had several games this year where the 2 halves were completely different and it was all because of how refs were calling it towards us. They control who wins the game. After years of watching it happen I'm not sure how anyone still believes it's honest refs going out and calling the game and the better team wins. Fairy tail land

I don’t believe that. We consistently get a bad whistle no matter who the crew is.
Just like in the bama game that ref followed pope around.... They have to find ways to get the point spread where it needs to be . They can't control shots going in but momentum is the way to do it

Usually in the last 10 seconds they let the players play. We lost a game to UCLA in 94-95 under similar circumstances.

I don't disagree with you that it happens, but it shouldn't, and I don't understand when fans say, "Let them play, I don't want a referee deciding the game in that moment by calling a foul."

If a player fouls a shooter at the end of the game, an official calling the foul isn't "deciding" the game any more than the defender who foul did so. In fact, by intentionally NOT calling fouls the same at the end of a game, an official is actually "deciding" the game for the defense b/c they are allowing them to gain an advantage by preventing the offense from scoring by committing the foul.

I honestly don’t understand why people don’t think that should’ve been a no call?

As the BYU players begins to take the ball up for a shot, the defender hip checks him, and it knocks the shooter totally off balance.

Maybe it just doesn’t seem like a foul because we are accustomed to watching the rugby matches that SEC officiating allows, but the defender moved into the shooter knocking him off balance…that is a foul.
If that's a foul, there is a fould on every

If that was a foul on AZ, there is a foul every 5 seconds in a basketball game
 
Lower body fouls dont get enough calls because that isnt where the officials focus is generally, but that was an easy call.

My problem isn't that a foul was called. The problem is the exaggerated sell of the call. Throwing yourself to the ground has gotten out of hand. Throwing yourself on the ground when not going for a loose ball or flopping your head back should be automatic offensive fouls.

All the theatrics is basically cheating and shouldn't be allowed.

I agree with hating the theatrics as well.

I think the “head snap” should be a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.

If just a few technical fouls were called, it would not take long to remove that junk from the game

Your opinion. Not mine.
I’ve never officiated a game but I’m never calling a foul on a 3 point shooter that isn’t touched.
Never calling one when a guy trips over his own feet. Cmon. It’s not THAT hard.
Sports are all about money and these officials have agendas.
 
I've said it before in these tef threads I'll say it again...if you think college refs are bad go to a high school game. Your opinion that refs are on the take instead of simply incompetent will change
 
It's absolutely an epidemic. It's bad across the board. The thing is you don't see conferences who contract these guys do much about it. NCAA isn't going to do much because they aren't a union. So it comes down to the individual conferences to demand they be better at their jobs. Perfect example Terry Olgelsby should absolutely be publicly reprimanded for his actions last night. Completely unprofessional to step towards a coach like that and bait him. It's a lot of a good ole boy system. They face no consequences for their ineptness. Look I stand by if 18-23 guys have to go out and face questions about the game there is no reason a 50 year old man can't do it. They are absolutely protected and they act like it too.
They will just reply that they didn’t see it or they were watching something else. The only way to get a true response is to hook up a lie detector and a stun gun and every time they lie about a question, light them up!!! JMO
 
just go ahead and starting putting asterisks by the wins and losses within each season now, why dont they ? Arizona gets absolutely SHAFTED on that. The officials need to get together and have a freaking FOURTH party instant replay instant review process decision on this kind of situation.

TOTAL BS - and it is a HOME game for my wildcats out west. that sucked

He was in pretty good guarding position with his arms straight up. That’s no foul IMO.

We can debate it all we want. People will see a foul and others wont.

If you watch this video at the 12 second mark as Saunders makes his spin there is enough contact to make this an easy call imo. Regardless, the ref in that game called it and everyone has to live with it. I wouldn't have had an issue had they not called it.
