Greg Gard goes off on officiating

He should. That hook and hold at the end was nonsense. Then Iowa throws an elbow and it isn’t reviewed.
Good for him for standing up to the refs when they make crap calls against his team.
Good. I’m sure the conference will penalize/fine him in some way, but it’s worth it. Officials need to be held more accountable for their inconsistencies (which as we all know are many) and the only way to do that is for guys like Gard to make a little noise.
Funny thing is Gard was only focusing on the Davison hook & hold call. When he looks at the tape, he’s gonna find a whole lot more to be pissed about. Trice’s phantom 5th foul giving Bohannon 3 FTs, the Iowa player’s elbow throwing (I think it was Bohannon again) after the jump ball, and then the same Iowa player slamming the ball hard up into the air. Just insanely one-sided calls.

Yeah, I was surprised he didn’t mention the Trice phantom foul on Bohannon trey, which was the biggest bogus call of the game. He might have felt like his best chance of not getting fined was to focus on the hook and hold and how it’s interpreted.
Its amazing how often the same official shows up in these incidents without anything being done about it.
Can you imagine a game being officiated by both Bo and Teddy V. The two of them would be in a can you top this foul call fest.
Rutgers first NCAA tournament game in 30 years will be reffed by Bo, Valentine and Tim Higgins coming out of retirement.
Yeah that was a bad call period. If there was a foul it clearly was coming off the screen and on the floor. Even that would have been questioned. To give 3 foul shots there was criminal.
Speaking of which we did not complain about the Myles play yesterday because we won but he definitely should have been shooting and 1 and not 1 and 1 when we were up I think by 4. That could have cost us the game along with us missing a lot of makeable shots.
Postgame goes nuts on the officials and totally calls them out; says to the Big Ten you have my number if you want to call me; I love that!!! That is what Pikell needed to do after the OSU debacle with the refereeing !!!
Do you even read the rest of the board before you post your rambles? Why haven’t you eaten your crow in your terrible Pike thread yet?
You need to go root for coach Gard and Wisconsin
Sure looks like the conference is having the officiating deliver its desired outcomes. No surprise given the leadership change. Definitely has the feel of something more than typical homerism this season.
As he should. There were so many terrible calls. Also, Wisconsin is 14-2 when Bo Borowski doesn’t officiate their game and 2-9 when he does. Really strange there.
Burr? He'd be the replay operator. "Oh sorry I deleted that one"
The clock operator would be the Tennessee womens game clock operator from 2008!
Do they give him higher profile assignments, meaning they'd have him on games where they were facing stronger opponents overall, or does it seem random?
That's an amazing stat. Don't know if there is a cause and effect there, but probably something the league needs to check out.
Good for him. Those were some really terrible calls..really freakin horrible calls in a critical time and spot. Yes, that's what I would ask from our coach.

Holy god I just saw the highlight. Is that call for real? Good lord. This is why fans hold their breath when they go to the monitor. You have no idea what the call will be
Boroski just seems really really shady
He’s been called out for years and nothing has been done. I hope they eventually do something. Terrible reffing takes the spirit out of it.
Not sure which one you saw, but there was a totally bogus foul called on Trice while Bohannon was shooting a trey. Trice fouled out on that play and Iowa got 3 points at the line.
The play that Gard is talking about was just as bad. His guy gets fouled but they call a double foul instead, with a bogus hook and hold giving Iowa 2 shots and the ball (after Wisky made two shots at the line).
Brad Davison is a dirty, chippy player so maybe Gard should have done something about him all these years rather than redirecting the blame on the officials or other teams for calling out Davison’s play. Was it a hook and hold on the disputed play? Yes. Davison knows what he’s doing and he could’ve hurt that guy’s arm with that crap. Just play basketball, Brad. Glad they called it. Should Davison get the benefit of the doubt? Hell no. His nonsense caught up with him at a crucial time.

Jim Burr once told me to go F myself at the RAC. Fun times.
Ha! Something tells me you’re a member of a very large club there.
There really are some pretty good refs in the big ten
But Bo...needs to go
If you know his name well, the official needs to go Because a good official is invisible ...

It’s amazing. Bo once again sees an incredibly entertaining game of basketball unfolding in front of him and decides “I need to do something about this.”

That's because he is. I don't even understand why he's still officiating. I don't know if you realize the man was suspended not too long ago for "fixing" games. Go look it up.
