After the Duke Michigan State game, I wanted to check few things on the officiating (which was horrible, granted I'm not a ref but the few high school coaches I've talked to agree, now nor are they officials). Anyways the ESPN search engine sent me to this board and right away I learned a few things just looking around.
Here are my questions -
Who was officiating this game? What conference was this crew from?
Even with fouling at the end to stop the clock and get the ball back, how could Duke have as many team fouls as Michigan St?
The longest 4.2 seconds of all time? Another thread already answered this so thanks.
The magic in and out put back by Williams? Another thread already answered that so thanks.
The make up call at the other end?
Coach K and a few high profile coaches start working the refs as soon as the ball is tipped, does this make any difference?
Williams' 5th foul, the one where his arms were at his sides?
Billy Packer as is the majority of the CBS cast is clueless in all regards to the game of basketball, not just the rules, (I saw a post about that earlier) Jay Bilas is the only anouncer used by CBS who is tollerable
My mother, who is a hs coach, asks while watching Villanova UNC, is there an anti ACC sentiment with some officials?
In the first half when Ewing picked off the alley opp and the wistle was blown, why was it blown, what was the call?
Love's foul on Paul Davis, where was the contact?
The play where the shot clock was winding down and Ewing tipped the pass out of bounds, how could they even have considered that Ewing had full possession of the ball, thus warranting the the shot clock to be restarted? I know it didn't happen, but how could it even be talked about on the floor, I expect that crap from Packer, but not on the floor.
Who saw at like 11 pm the night of the tournament draw, who saw Bob Knight say on ESPN that the out come of many cames is deteremined by the refs (he was asked the 3 most important things for winning the tournament and number 2 was officiating). Anyways, do you guys believe this to be true? That officiating makes that big of a difference?
Is officiating as regional as we perceive it to be?
I saw a thread about pay, My cousin plays in Northern Virgina little kids select leauge where the officials ref like 6 games in a row on a saturday afternoon and are horrible and don't have a badge patch thingy, how much do those refs get payed?
About a month ago there was a Illinios Iowa game, if anybody saw it, that I have on tape, at about 9 minutes left in the first half, Greg Brunner got a long rebound at about the short corner, was punched, walked, pushed out of bounds, lost the ball, was tackled, got the ball back by shoving somebody and elbowing somebody, was elbowed, double dribbled, went up, was fouled, got the rebound, walked, 1 power/ crab dribble, shoved, walked, reverse lay up on the other side of the rim and was fouled, the wistle blew after all of this and the call was a walk. Now if anybody saw that game and knows that play, I'd like an officials point of view on it.
All the questions I can think of for now.
Thanks a bunch!
