Huggins lays down the Gospel

Amen....... officiating is very inconsistent, hell, not only from crew to crew and conference to conference, but even from half to half in the same game by the same crew.

 

[funky bunch]

On the other hand, Huggins plays the game too. He's taught Devin how to muscle his way to the hoop. The game is really physical down low and its hard to defend strong guys. You get your occasional call on the offense, but more often its a call on the D or no call at all.

 

[Woody in Helvetia]

How do they handle positions in college. Do the keep the same positions all game long - if so that is one of reasons for differences. On ref under your bucket in the 1st half and another in the second.

Inconsistent is a correct description.

 

[doctom4]

He's right about officials, literally from half to half being completely inconsistent
I wonder if the Big 12 in particular has sent memos to its officials as they do in the NBA that it's basically OK to "manage" games so that they're always tight. By guaranteeing FT shooting contests, that's basically what they do. They make the Big East basketball refs look like perfection, though. Just bad all the way around.

 

[AZeer]

"They want to increase scoring, but you've got to be able to guard
people," Huggins said. "You just can't let people put their head down
and drive it at the goal-that's not basketball." ~ Huggins

If they want to increase the scoring don't call the game so close. Once or twice this year there were articles written on how the B12 Office told the officials to tighten up...call fouls.

 

[wvpackog]

He said it use to be called advantage or disadvantage

if this wasn't created fouls weren't called. That is the better way to officiate. The calls on a slap 40 feet from the basket that created no advantage is why the game is 'unwatchable'. Putting people to the foul line every 40 seconds doesn't help the fans enjoy the game. Go back to calling it advantage/disadvantage and he is right the game will be more watchable.

The Kentucky WVU game was unwatchable not because of the score but because of all the fouls. The neutral fans I talked to turned it off because it was nothing but foul shots.

How about removing those damned black and white striped shirts. You would think some of them are peacocks. Let them wear a plain white button down collar shirt and black pants. Maybe they will see themselves as nondescript instead of the real reason the fans came out to see them with whistles.

Huggs suggested post game interview for officials. I am leaning the opposite direction. Let them watch the game from a screen and not get onto the floor after initial jump ball. Give them wide angle - wide screen, but off floor. Game would go faster and players would be focal point for the fans.

 

[ThePunish-EER]

Hell I just want the officials to call a basic traveling violation. Players taking 3-4-5 steps to the basket is ridiculous.

 

[LowFatMilk]

LOL... ...it's AMAZING that any team ever wins with all the 'inconsistent' refs...

----------------------

How about getting our team to the point it doesn't lose 78-39 and THEN MAYBE we can discuss the problems with refs ??

Seriously? Your answer is to change how they dress. That is your solution? Just making sure that I understand what you are saying.

[mneilmont]

That is what I am saying. Surprised that you recognize the offering since you suggest zilch. Incapable of an original thought or you are reasonably satisfied with the current officiating. Some call at middle school level on the touch fouls then others call at prolevel allowing 4-5 steps, and why not, they can dribble the ball over their head or get hand totally under ball during dribble.

And could probably avoid other teams doubling our score if we would not play the best teams. As we advance thru tournaments, just refuse to play teams that are twice as good as us. Does that solve your problem?

 

[KeatonsCorner]

black and white arent even the refs' school colors

 

[skygusty_rivals]

And carrying the ball

The hand is under the ball about half the time when the ball is dribbled. No fouls when a player is smacked in the face, but forty fouls called for a belly touch more than 35 feet from the basket. Officiating was way too much of the game this year, or at least for our games. I seemed to see several in the NCAA's where they let the teams play.

 

[EER-reverent]

pretty sure they rotate after each whistle

 

[NCDemolitioneer]

No, they are supposed to rotate after every call. That way we don't have one ref under our hoop calling it tight and they have a diff ref under their hoop letting them play.
