From an Article on VA vs VCU (11/12)
But this was the second game for both, the first against top-flight competition. Add college basketball's new freedom-of-movement rules and the defenses coached superbly by Virginia's Tony Bennett and VCU's Shaka Smart, and a game in the 50s is inevitable.
Virginia was 19-of-33 from the line, but VCU was worse at 6-of-15. Both teams were saddled with foul trouble, forcing the coaches to tinker with rotations.
The veteran ACC officiating crew of Jamie Luckie, Mike Eades and Tony Greene whistled 27 first-half fouls, 21 thereafter. That's one foul every 50 seconds for the evening.
“The officials are charged with calling some (new) points of emphasis,” Bennett said. “It's hard. … I think they're doing the best they can in that situation.”
