Basketball is like this every year. Officials call fouls until their whistles break in November and by January it's back to "no blood, no foul" in the Big Ten. 

I find it annoying.

Or maybe the defensive players should move their feet and not reach...just an idea.

[OliviaPope40]

I am a nervous wreck.

I love both, but there is no question that the NBA is better officiated. Teams regularly getting in the bonus in the first 6-10 minutes is just awful. 

The college game depends on coaching and officiating. The two things it specifically should *not* be about.

KU missing free throws.

Over half of the calls have been charge/block calls....

It appears the officials are going out of their way on the freedom of movement fouls. This is terrible to watch but it will get better later in the season.

Then I am unsure as to what the problem is.

I really don't get it. The NBA is full of huge guys and incredible athletes attacking the rim and charges are rarely called.

As expected, MSU and Kansas looking flat. Not surprising considering how they lost Friday night and having to fly from Hawaii all the way to New York.

Disagree on the coaching part.  If it weren't for different coaching styles and different offensive and defensive schemes, the game would be boring...kind of like the NBA.

"Hey coach, whatcha gotta do to trim this lead?"
"Score more points"
"Thanks, coach"

A lot of players would rather give up the dunk than their bodies. Officials are also more inclined to call a block for the sake of stats/highlights.

I read/heard data about teams returning from Maui and losses in the B1G/ACC Challenge. It wasn't a good winning percentage.

I agree there. I think the different styles make the college game more fun. I just feel like sometimes the college game can be made more about the coaches coaching than the players playing. It's a perception thing, where the referees are an actual problem.

Edit: Don't agree that the NBA is boring, but do think college is more fun. The NBA can be a lightning rod for basketball fans.
