I was just wondering if Rick Barnes did have a valid arguement about the refs not calling the outside and inside consistently. I would like your honest opinion about how this area of the game was called and not anything about the T's. Thank you and your input is appreciated.
Anyone can look at contact and think it's a foul. But only the three officials on the floor get to make the decision. I felt the game was very well officiated. Barnes is an advocate for his team. Therefore, he's expected to see thing from a biased standpoint.

Officiating post play is not the same as officiating on the perimeter. If the same type of contact allowed on wide receivers by defensive backs that's allowed by linemen? No. Much the same, the interior and exterior games in basketball are officiated differently.
