Some people will be mad about this one. It’ll give them less stuff to complain about.
Seriously though, I did notice a few inbound plays this game that worked quite well.
--Centre made tourn also
--Caller: Why not throw it in to Nick more
--Have you seen the TO's we get when we force it in?
--Nick has to get open!.
--Get position BEFORE you catch the ball
--If he does He'll score 25
--Catch the ball with 2 hands
--WHo else has a player like Nick?..A 7 footer that can do what he does
--Now I want him to get better than he is
--He can either surrender or fight to the death
--Both bigs getting better throwing it out of post
--EJ now figuring this out
--Keion played with desperation last game
--IQ from a year ago strides huge
--Maxey makes 65 threes in 5 minute shooting drill...Do that in game now!
--Everybody talking about Ashton TO's
--If it's 50/50 don't throw the pass...I'd rather you shoot it vs TO
--Went 2-13 last game...cant let it bother you
--Dont care if he does that if he does the other things
--Tyrese top scorer against Top 25 teams

Caller: Congrats...especially with FT improvement...what about the violence in these games now? Kid with headband for Auburn in officials face
--We're gonna get everybody's best effort
--These other teams players wanna prove that THEY could play at UK
--I dont care how they call the game but call them all
--Just be consistent...dont call it one way in first half and then totally different later
--All I wanna know is why did you call it this way over there
--I dont drop F bombs
--Sometimes it slips
--I dont wanna hear every play is different
--This league is a tuff league to officiate
--3/4 of SEC teams are physical
--If they're letting it go, be more aggressive...if not be careful

--Barnes a great friend
--My first yr at UMass I was like 10-17
--I told Rick I needed for team to get better defensively
--Barnes gave him 4 things to work on
--Every drill you do is to one of those 4 things
--Days before games dont make those guys beat ea other up
Caller: Will we get a 2 seed>
--Probably not
--Your path is more important than your seed
--We were 2-13 from the 3 last game
--Tex AM makes you shoot 3's
--We'll be playing at Noon because we're one seed
--How can some of the SEC teams be on the bubble?
--I hope we get 6-7 teams in
--Then we need them to advance
--Auburn made it to FF...USC made it

Think Maxey is avg 19/20 a game against teams that are/were top 25.
This made me chuckle. Gotta love Coach Cal.
[laughing]
I don’t know why, but that made me laugh. A very Cal response.
"this league is a tough league to officiate"
Judging by what we have seen this season it must be damn near impossible

If it's physical play that's the issue then the refs need to call every single foul (don't let them expect that you won't call them all) and start taking more players out of the games. Then maybe some of these teams will be forced to clean up their play. This isn't supposed to be football on the hardwood. Basketball should be more about finesse and not fighting.
