College Bball Thread

Anyone listen to Rick Boyages talking about officiating? 
don’t know what to really think about his comments, but as the Associate Commissioner of Mens Basketball for the B1G, he blames the coaches for the differences between B1G and other conferences. Says that all B1G refs officiate other conferences all the time and they don’t control our conferences preference to tackle basketball. Let’s see who would he be specifically talking about?

So the coaches blame the officials and the officials blame the coaches for the current state of B1G officiating. The coaches will do anything within what they're allowed to do to win so it's the officials that need to make the change. Foul out 1/2 a roster and throw a few coaches if that is what it takes, but they'll get it and adjust accordingly. 

I don't know how one can blame the coaches for the inconsistency within a single game or between separate B1G games, though.

Thats why I didn't know what to say and this guy is apparently involved with scheduling and has or still does evaluate refs. Typical B1G official response to any negativity, well its not us, its them. He mentioned that the conference drops the hammer on refs that miss obvious rules and will suspend them for a game or 2 to hit them financially (refs paid $3.5-4K a game according to Rick). Well if that is true than I want to see the official punishment for the refs with the Fran incident the other night!

Late in the article he  praises him and calls him a future coach the will have his own program. Calls him   A true professional. Lol.    That’s something

South Carolina up 13 early at Kentucky

Ball St up early at Ohio and Mike Lewis looking pretty dapper on the sideline. On espn+

A lot of people on here talk about tackle basketball in the B1G.  I think the B1G refs call too much nickel-dimer crap and we can't ever get into a flow.

My problem is the inconsistency. No one knows what a foul is, or a flagrant, or even a technical evidently. One game you’ll have freedom to hammer guys at the rim and 3 nights later your best player fouls out in 18 minutes on 5 ticky tack fouls. 

It all leads to your last point in which none of these games have any flow because the calls are totally different night to night/arena to arena since the teams spend half of the first half just trying to figure out what they can and can’t do. It’s horrible basketball to watch.

Couldn't agree more!  My biggest problem is they won't do the same thing for an entire game.  Call 5 total fouls for the first 10 minutes of a half and then have 5 more fouls in the next 3 mins.  Just like the Michigan/Michigan St. game last Saturday.  Really tough to watch.

He's talking out of his @$$, IMO.  The Big Ten administration can cut the **** out at any point they want by telling officials working games to call it no different that they call other conferences.  By not doing so, they are letting teams play tackle basketball since there is no downside.
