College Bball Thread

[Stuhoo]

I’ve officiated some. Nothing fancy; in two ref situations up through high school age.

I think that a fourth ref will have little or no effect. Good, highly trained refs are constantly putting themselves in a best-vantage point situation. The problem is players don’t always move logically. So anticipating angles and movement is designed to increase the odds of seeing the whole play, not guaranteed access. Moreover, refs divide the court into sections. A third of the half court is not a ton of area to cover, AND unless asked a good ref will NOT make a call in their partner’s territory.

I really don’t think refereeing is deteriorating. They’ve always missed calls and always will.I think that technology and reviews have allowed spectators on television to hyper-analyze so many calls.

• Keep reviews to 30 seconds/max 1 minute and  get the ball back in play and bouncing.
• Get rid of the unlimited referee-driven reviews in the last two minutes. In fact get rid of referee request reviews period. 
• Give each team two reviews for the game; maybe refund one if it’s successful. And that includes reviews for flagrant fouls.

In other words, reinforce that refereeing, even when exceptional, is an in exact science that has human error baked in. Stop highlighting potential referee errors. They are part of the game and are no more or less prevalent than before.

Never?!?

Okay. I question it. That’s now one person who does.

Ever seen a guy get airborne, trying to dunk, and realize while he's in midair that he has no chance of making it? That was Chris Vogt just now. Tried a tomahawk slam over his defender and literally threw it off the front of the rim.

Slow motion shot was even better when you could see the look on his face. Lol

And, most importantly, ban the grab your nuts and pray charge.

Another garbage call that a ref won't have to answer to: Johnny Davis gets hit in midair after a defender who came in to take a charge gets set, then leaves his feet and tries to block his shot. Shot goes in, ref starts tapping his head and points the other way. 

 

Edit: and a couple possessions later, we get the makeup call with a charge on Michigan that should have been a block.

No Al today but they still shouldn’t be getting ran.   I could see butler letting them back in the game

I thought I  quoted you earlier but evidently I quoted my own slow motion dunk attempt by Wisky player one.   Good start to the Sunday 

[Uspshoosier]

Battle for first in the MVC today.  Northern Iowa up 16 on Missouri St at half 

[Uspshoosier]

Smu/Memphis coming up.   Huge game for both teams 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Huge win by Wiscy

[Uspshoosier]

Wisky should let Michigan cut into this lead so that Michigans NET doesn’t drop out of the Q1 range for their win.   Kidding of course.  Maybe half kidding
