Today on Izzo's (Michigan States boys coach) daily radio commentary, the topic was the chronically poor officiating this year at the highest levels of D1 ball. According to Izzo, the biggest concern he had was consistency of calls or lack there of. Also mentioned was the grueling schedule some of the top tier refs keep. He offered the idea of having the refs focus on being refs and not engage in other careers. Also mentioned was limiting refs to two nights a week of reffing. His answers may have been a bit uninformed (don't know, just guessing). However, Izzo is renowned for giving thoughtful comments, not off-the-cuff complaints.
