After the Alabama/Arkansas game, Stan Heath was asked about the officiating. He declined to comment in order to not get fined. Arkansas lost the game in overtime. It should probably not have gone to overtime. There were several questionable calls that put the game there. Bama shot 33 foul shots to nine for the Hogs, along with a bad blocking call that brought the tide close late in the game. He took the high road by not bashing the refs, but his words sent a strong message to the SEC. What should the SEC and the game officials do?

Just cracks me up to hear fans/coaches holler about an inequality of fouls called in a game.
Since when does the rule book say that the same amount of fouls need to be called on each team or at least close to that amount.
As I chided a coach a few weeks ago, "the reason that we have called more fouls on your team is because you are fouling more than them"
Some teams foul more because of the style of play and that's just part of the game.
Thanks
