Time is better spent analyzing their opponent
Hardly consistent with the opinion you put forth in our discussion earlier today. IMO.
Completely consistent, IMO. I don't think either coach would have expected that Duke- Uconn crew to officiate the way they did. So what good would it have done to think too much about it? The crew is going to get together a day or so before the game to decide how they are going to work together.

If you have officials you have seen together, especially regular HS crews, you know what you are going to see. We have adjusted when we know that an official tends to call everything underneath a foul - we wll attack the basket even more than usual, and try to deny an inside attack to our opponents.
