Refs don’t think we’re missing enough players

No. They are gods. We must bow at their feet and praise them for their benevolence.
In all seriousness, no. Refs are untouchable.
Give me games where we dont recognize any names of refs and I’ll be ecstatic…….Oglesby is one of a half dozen or so refs that are clearly biased towards UK and are free to do so with no repercussions.
Refs bad? For a road game that’s the norm. We kinda looked to quit and that’s something different
So you think it is weak tp point it out no matter how crooked it gets? It's not our fault if you are not smart enough to understand what you are watching.

Would love to see an FBI sting to catch these crooks gambling on games.
SEC officials are the worst in basketball.
Most SEC teams learn to play to the SEC officials.
Then when they get in the NCAA they founder because they don’t have the officiating they have learned to play with.
Nothing will be done about it because the SEC doesn’t care.
If it was damaging football they would be all over it.

Tone it down, bruh, before you wind up on a watch list.
Oats was continuously working the refs. Non-stop in their ear. Pope must be more vocal . It does not change a call but might prevent the next bad one.
They are inconsistent at best. The more gambling there is on games the more temptation there will be. Who knows whether this is bad officiating or something more sinister. What I do know is if one coach is really working the refs then the other coach must step up as well.
Hard to be vocal when you had Terry Olgelsby literally tracking you down to bait you into a technical.
Was that the ref who literally walked down the line to Pope to stare him down?
The refs suck sometimes. You're not better than anybody else because you pretend not to notice it. Eat one.
Would have loved for Pope to go nose to nose with the guy. No backing down.
Ppl miss calls, but the consistency is what's killer. You could have the same crew and the game is called completely different from game to game. Owen shortt and terry oglesby are ass clowns. Oglesby is at best a NAIA ref. Zero feel for the game. The other guy was a wnba ref so go figure...game is too fast for him.
Like Oglesby misses the most obvious push in the back on Amari, which btw, our coach is stationary on the entire other end of the court and can see it yet you're paid to see it and only have to watch 1/3 of the court then when bama gets the ball back you call a fart a foul bc section 2 paragraph 3 stanza 2a says farting while the ball is on the perimeter and the offense player blinks his right eye is a foul. Have some f'n feel for the game.
They really need to dumb the rules down for officials...they'll miss and obvious murder, which okay fine, but then some bizarre a$$ foul that impacts the flow in no way gets called bc technically it's in the rule book.
Also get rid of points of emphasis. It's too complex for these clowns. It's the same thing ever year, they call anything remotely close bc they want to get it, like a cop speeding ticket quota, all the while missing easy stuff all over the court bc theyre so focused on the emphasis. Then they stop calling it...then they'll randomly whip it back our in the ncaa tournament. This year it's fouls on the 3 point shooter not letting them land...they've stopped calling it as close while earlier in the year if you just jumped near a shooter they called it. We'll see it again soon enough tho on something barely there.
I dont know what their thought process is, but to me it's better to miss than it is to call something and it not be there. But above all, none of that matters if you can't be consistent

Sometimes, sure. Every damned game or loss? Nah. And are they “crooked” or “cheating”? No. That’s the idiocy.
Vegas goes through conferences , because if the refs rigged a game without the SEC's prior approval, that ref would not officiate in the SEC again.
Fair point but a technical or even an ejection wouldn't be the end of the world. I've seen T's work to the benefit of the recipient many times.
