Think I figured out why our refs suck....

The head of SEC Men's Basketball Officials is MIke Eades.

From his bio:

Eades has vast experience as an NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament official, highlighted by Final Fours in 2015, 2016 and 2017. His career also includes four Sweet 16 assignments and five Elite 8 assignments.

Now, he wasn't directly apart of our games, but 2015 and 2017 are some of the WORST officiating years I can remember in the tournament and that's not including our games.

He was often in ref groups with Ayers, Shows, Greene, Adams, and Lindsey. So, yeah, he learned from the WORST too. So we've basically got a meh ref being the head of our officials.

And man is the proof in the pudding.

Maybe time to make a change.

Mike Eades' record as a ref for UK games isn't remarkably negative. UK is 11-4 with him on the crew.

But he was on those horrific crews we all knew (and still know) and love (hated): Tony Greene, Doug Shows, Teddy V, Roger Ayers, Don Daily, Karl Hess, Doug Sirmons and of course Phat Adams.

Two of those games were Duke and UNC (2012 and 2013).

When you're happy to see Doug Shows you know the situation is bad. He has been so thoroughly surpassed by other worse refs that I honestly don't mind having him anymore. I'd take him over all the others you listed and Oglesby is the worst.

I just hope our refrree crew wear their best accessories and are ready for their screen time-

those monitor reviews can catch your turkey neck if you don't get the angle right --- LOORRRD don't let one of them show up Ashey

officiating ruins so many games outright. We've yet to see the worst officiating calls go down yet, is my bet. Something crazy will happen and they will blow it and there will be great controversy.

if not already

but this time, I'm counting on Shows coming through for us, against all odds

Go Big Blue !

Yeah, exactly. By himself, he's not bad. With his crappy comrades, he was part of some big losses. And his cohorts make up part of the crappiest crews still.

He needs to go!

Refs that are calling these Ky games seems to always be for the other team. like last night when Chandler was hit up side the head and bleeding no call, Carr got thrown to the floor nothing called.
