Who in the SEC gets the most favorable whistle?

[The_Answer1313]

We are talking about isolated incidents tho.

Refs are human. They are going to make mistakes. I haven't seen the play but lets say his foot was on the line. Even considering the fact he was looking right at the heel, do you think it's more likely he made a mistake or that he somehow wanted Duke to win the game and so gave them the call?

In baseball, a first base ump is in position to call a batter safe or out. They are right on top of the play and sometimes still miss the call.

Sports are fast. It's hard for the refs to get 100% correct. That will never happen.

I have see two UK games in the last couple of years where an opponent had half of his body
laying across the white line, a ref was staring down at him and in neither instance was he called out of bounds. He laid there for several seconds so this was not something that was too fast to tell what happened.

I cannot imagine what reason they had for not making the call but the only two things that come to my mind are incompetent or dishonest.

crestcat, there are situations that could have occurred moments before and the other refs whistle blew, in other words a dead ball. Not seeing the play myself I can't understand why it wasn't called if it happened the way you say. I would say that more than likely there is more to the call than we know about. {like did he have possession of ball} {maybe shot clock expired} ????
