Is the worst in ALL of sports. That is all.
SEC Basketball Officiating
- Thread starter 3Eye
- Start date
wildly inconsistent with spurts of insanity
Game took 2 hours and 20 minutes and there were only 3 timeouts called the whole game.
That foul on TyTy where he was armbared should have that official banned form the sport. There’s no defending that call. Unless he’s on the take.
And these guys are d-1 officials 🙄🙄, complete lack of control of the game and ruined any flow the game could have. They probably made around 2k each tonight as well my guess.
SEC - It just means more (except officiating)
That's exactly what I was about to say. That was an obvious offensive foul on Pippen.
I haven't seen Vandy before tonight (god knows i won't watch that hack show again if i have a choice), but Pippen was the most protected player i've seen this year. The whistles involving him were ridiculous.
For whatever it’s worth, 2 of the 3 officials tonight, Steven Anderson and Don Daily, also officiated our loss to UT in the 2019 SEC Tournament. As you may recall, this game impacted our seeding in the NCAA Tournament (where we eventually lost to Auburn in OT in the Elite Eight). Here’s a Thread with video “highlights” of some of the awful officiating in that game: https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/...ravis-fouls-spoiler-they-were-all-bad.291131/

This game was an absolute freaking embarrassment. Look at these gems.
They should be ashamed of themselves. But they’re not. And that’s the problem.

How many times have you watched a game outside of the SEC where for several minutes they call fouls EVERY time down the floor. Get the feeling it has to be either a gambling thing or refs that just hate you. Daily has always been bad news.
You should see how HS games are called down here in coastal AL… it’s an abomination!! They are clueless and are probably auditioning for SEC gigs!
Yeah I fully expected someone to get hurt during that pathetic attempt to play basketball. Stackhouse and Vanderbilt should be ashamed to say the least.
The bad calls rolled in when the 14.5 was in jeopardy.
Don Daily is the worst official in the SEC and that’s saying something.
The little dude grabbing Brooks legs had me out of my chair yelling. Thought Cal was about to get ejected there. Never saw anything that blatant with no call. And the MF did it twice!
I didn’t even need to see the Twitter replays to know those were the worst no calls in history.
Threats of physical violence led to Higgins not calling anymore of our games. I don't condone violence. But if another set of UK fans did that regularly with bad refs. Maybe UK would get some fairness.
This is being done intentionally

That Ty Ty call was one of the worst of all times
I reported this post for being too accurate.

Ha, that's the game I got in trouble for wishing Aids on Grant Williams.
I regret nothing.
Eveyone deserves aids. I've got a bunch to do around the house and could definitely use some aids.
It’s ridiculous, they need to be held accountable and have a press conference after the game.

Fixed that small note for you
I thought Tyty fouled him first and it was just a super slow whistle.
Wait no I didn't.
I no longer live in KY. I got to know an ex-SEC official several years ago; more than just an acquaintance; visited him at his home several times; did some free photography for a business he had started. BUT, I did not tell him that I was an avid UK fan and Alum. I believe he is an upright guy; not on the take. I asked him one night about being an SEC official; and what his opinion was of UK. It was at that point that I decided that it's probably not a matter of officials being on the take, but just an outright dislike for UK being the King on the Hill that was the underlying motivation for bad calls. Probably a common judgment that is prevelant with SEC officials. JMHO
College b-ball officiating has gotten steadily worse over the past years. It’s inconsistent, it’s calling phantom fouls on what might have happened vs what they actually see from their vantage point. The rules changes instead of helping have made it worse. Games often become unwatchable.
Yes! You got that right, for sure. Still not over that one! ONE point away from the 2019 Final Four at the end of regulation! I remember we looked at the numbers and it was a “miracle of miracles” that NO fouls were called on Auburn in such a long frame of time. https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/threads/no-fouls-on-auburn-in-the-last-9-18.294090/
If Anderson is the Mexican ref, then yes he is really really bad. All 3 were last night. I am not sure Dailey is capable of reffing a good game.For whatever it’s worth, 2 of the 3 officials tonight, Steven Anderson and Don Daily, also officiated our loss to UT in the 2019 SEC Tournament.

Sorry for the delay; busy day. It's been several years; don't remember the details; but I walked away with the impression that he was not a UK fan, and that B-ball officials are just regular guys; with prejudices and opinions just like most of us. He's no Higgins; great guy that gives a lot to the community, but just has no love for UK basketball; therefore probably not going to cut us any slack.
