NCAA needs to address the officiating problem as a top priority

[gracetoyou]

There are a lot of fouls because these teams foul a lot. I know people hate these foul fests that we see but you can't let these games turn into football games. If the refs continue to call games like this then teams will eventually adjust.

I disagree! Good grief...they call fantom fouls half the time! How do you adjust to that?

Nothing is gonna change.. The NCAA and ESPN got what they wanted.

Hard to watch a sport that's so rigged at this point. Social media is blowing up over how bad the calls were for UNC. Title games in other sports barely mentioned the calls..

Ruined the tournament this year. Just horrible!

It really did. This was about as empty a championship as could be. For 3 different games you could say The Champs got helped along the way. Almost made you sick watching it.

The NCAA couldn't fix a bologna sandwich,they could only screw it up.They will probably come up with some bulls&it plan to address officiating and thereby make it worse.

I feel pretty good that I watched very little of the game,I have at least a start on watching only UK games.I hope to build on that next season,the NCAA can take their cheating, bias agenda driven ways and go to hell.

Didn't bother watching it, knew what the outcome would be,on to next season, GBB

Viewing is up which means more commercial money nothing will change it is all about the MONEY

The cheerleaders are probably even yelling "GET YOUR HAND BACK INBOUNDS!!!"

 

[coolioo1]

Questioning if a player was out of bounds is a reviewable play

 

[TexKat]

Ref is too close to see it

 

[dezyDeco]

Good thing the NCAA had their A-Team working this game.

 

[skcatfan]

Their title should go in the record books with a huge asterisk (Referee Assisted). Did every call in the tourney go UNC's way? Of course not but a huge number of just flat out obvious bad calls, many which happened to occur at crucial times, sure did go their way.

Cherry on top of the horribly officiated tournament sundae.

 

[dezyDeco]

Wow. Just noticed this: Missed Meeks call helps UNCheat when they're ahead 66-65 with about 50 seconds left... same score and almost the same clock as the missed Berry walk/charge against ARK. Must be nice!

Just think of the options, even though down by 1, the Zags and ARK had... if the right call was made. Use clock or play it for 2 possessions? If they get a basket and go ahead, you might consider tight play on Berry... he sure was missing key FTs.

Somebody please send that to the Zags site and Twitter!

 

[dezyDeco]

Under a minute with the lead... no problem, UNCheat... we got your back!

Love,

your BFF Refs

xoxoxo

^Most infuriating part about what they did to Arkansas (other than it lead to what happened last Sunday and tonight) is that I've seen Anderson and his players get way more worked up over SEC Tournament games against UK than they did after a game that could've been a program changing win where they legitimately got screwed over.

 

[UKCATSFREAK]

IF few was a good coach he would have demanded a replay which they would have rewarded and it would have been given to Gonzaga.

No. Mark Few is a great coach and that 1 play doesn't define his entire career at all. He probably couldn't even see that Meeks was out anyway. It's not like he is watching it on TV like the rest of us.

Maybe that official should have been watching it on TV instead of calling a national championship game.

I'm not the one to cinloaib about officials or calls but college basketball is cecimibf un watchable h

Good point!! You're right bout that!

 

[BlueRunner11]

Nothing will change. The NCAA takes to transparency and accountability like a whore takes to church.

 

[BlueRunner11]

Why would the NCAA change anything? Everything went exceedingly well from Darth Emmert's perspective.

He's probably firing up the death star on Pheonix as we speak for all those boos he got in there.

You realize how piss poor of job and how unlikable one has to be to get booed as the president of college effing athletics. Lmao.

 

[BigBlueFan1963]

How can any official miss that? Pathetic.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I guess we are suppose to give the ref a break here. He had a terrible view of the play. Somebody was blocking his view. Oh pardon me, that is the ref standing there. Thought it was somebody else.

 

[UKUGA]

I've never been one to blame refs for anything. You play better than the other team and don't let the refs be a matter. However, this tournament has changed my mind completely.

Welcome aboard.

There was an article written about Duke's easy draw in 2010 and how it was designed to ensure a long Duke run and higher ratings.
Why? The TV contract was being re-negotiated.

The next year was the first year that we had all the games available live on cable.

another angle of the same referee....

I have joined you as well. This tournament has been horribly officiated.
