Pope needs to teach these guys how to sell a foul

[seccats04]

SEC refs constantly fall for BS fouls when the other team’s players constantly throw their heads back or throw their arms up to sell a foul. We never do this. Why? I’m not saying teach them to flop but our guys constantly get mugged and many times no foul is called. We need to sell them better.

I agree they fall for it everytime.

And boxout. Commentator last night kept mentioning how Ky players just reach for rebounds instead of boxing out and going after the ball aggressively.

Coaches should not have to give acting classes, these refs need to be trained better or make them watch game film of every game they call and point out their mistakes, they get paid enough, we deserve better.

You’re right but the way the games are being called we are losing probably 10-20 points a game due to these bad calls and the other teams flopping and the refs almost always falling for it. I’m not saying I like it but it is a strategy other teams are using that we are not. The Georgia game really stands out to me with all their flopping and that was probably the difference in the game. They got a bunch of BS calls that gave them at least ten points at the stripe.

Our problems are not referee problems.

On defense we get behind and reach.

On offense we shy from contact. We don’t create contact. We have no post player. We have one driver.

It’s obvious from watching the games that the book on UK is that we are soft.

Like it or not the officials are human and buy into the same narrative.

We might not be as soft as our reputation?

But we are in no way a physical team.

The SEC is nothing if not a physical conference.
