Hes that balding ref that we often have who ONLY calls fouls against Rutgers. I noticed he has the MSU/OSU game that I’m watching right now and he just called a ball out on ohio state when the michigan state guy tapped it back court with no OSU guys around. Video here


He’s awful. I looked up on google, “big ten referee roster” couldnt find it. However the only refs name that came up was our friend bo boroski who apparently has done some shady **** such as hacking an officials system, and has been disciplined as much as no games for a year at one point. Why does this guy still have a job?

This is him


His crown is balding, not his front


As a side note, Larry Scirotto is the big ten official i feel is most fair and consistent imo. This is him below

These refs think they make enough monry, but rest assured, some of them have to have bundles and stacks on some of these moneylines or games. It's not feasible for the amount of travel and difficulty to and from some of these venues and the verbal abuse they take nightly, that these guys don't feel entitled to try and squeeze as much money as possible out of the season.

I don't see any other explanation for some of these calls made across college basketball. It's probably not going to come up until someone really digs into the details on how these games are called and the patterns involved with these refs.

Come on Hawk. Haven't you heard from most of the people on this board? These refs are somehow immune to any bias and the laws of the universe strongly state that everything just evens out. It just does.

Okay back to obvious reality now. Hopefully you can tell I am being super sarcastic.

Coach is the right guy and he will get us there despite the clear bias from referees against us.

Shocking to hear you say that. I'm not saying I disagree. Have ZERO idea but to hear you say that it gives me pause. Never thought of it that way. I thought just ego or incompetence on their part. Or league motivated agenda, not personal financial Benny.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Rutgers is the only school that doesn't pay off the refs. Not because we have great moral fiber but because we are so cheap

LOL - DJ Carstensen is as anti-Iowa as it gets; he has T'ed up Fran M. on several occasions.

Was trying to find some count of how many times Fran has been T'ed up... and apparently those aren't stats that are kept. Did find an article that he got 7 technicals in his FIRST YEAR at Iowa, though.... so it's hard to believe Carstensen somehow stands out. Fran has also said in the past that all his technical fouls are intentional and calculated - so it's just a matter of which ref he decides to blow his lid on in that game.

Referees from the Iowa vs RU game:

Rob Kueneman was the short, dark haired ref that absolutely screwed us on numerous calls from 12 minutes remaining. This was the guy that was COMPLETELY out of position to make a call on the Myles Johnson out back, and despite the other ref who had the angle to see the play, f$cking Kueneman blows his whistle and costs us two points. He made maybe 3 or 4 horrible calls in the last 12 minutes of the game. He cost us the win.

Curry, the older white haired ref, also made his share of bad calls against us, but not as much as Rob Kueneman.

Carstensen, the tall bald guy was OK.

Kueneman is from Fargo, ND

Curry is from Minneapolis

Carstensen is from Utica NY (but originally from Milwaukee and went to High School in Philadelphia)

I think he was just saying those were the referees for the Iowa game, not that they were referees from Iowa.

Serious question. Do refs ever get fired for their performance? If they don't, it hurts tge credibility of leagues. They can't possibly believe that every ref they have is good at their job. Replace the bad ones and you incentive better reffing. If you never fire refs, whats to stop them from blowing calls and calling one sides games?

Spot on. However don’t count on the spineless Organization overseeing College Athletics do anything about it:

That's pretty cool, Kyk. I didn't know any referees would do that. Is it like "He grabbed the wrist!" as he runs past?

Larry is funny, hes not an ego maniac like Bo. I forget what game it was but I remember at half larry walking by looking at me as I always try to talk with him and I said, “Larry, need a better 2nd half out of you, I got Rutgers getting 4” he laughed and said “i didnt hear any of that” haha hes a good guy and a very fair ref imo
