The games are happening because of the players, coaches, schools..not the officials games and that's what people want to see. People and players are tired of 40 foul games that are decided by free throws and foul outs, they want to see players win games.
Pat Adams may be a great person but he's repeatedly shown he can't handle emotions that happen from competition and human beings and for whatever...and he can't mentally focus on what he needs to without getting his feelings hurt. It's okay to be questioned..no one should think they are above reproach.
Absolutely no accountability in the paycheck collecting world of contract work. Where everyone feels they can insert themselves and have no repercussions in the good ole boy network

I'm not exactly sure who your rant is directed at. The NCAA and its coaches wanted the game cleaned up. If there are 40 fouls per game called, it's because that's what the teams/coaches/leagues/NCAA wants.
The conference hires the officials. Surely if the teams are *that* unhappy with the work, they'll ask their supervisor of officials to hire others....or they'll get a new supervisor of officials. I'm guessing they're thrilled to have officials like Pat Adams working for them.
It's fine to question officials. However, when local media do nothing but question calls that go against the home team, that just strikes me as completely idiotic. Frankly, I can't believe that people believe that bullcrap.
At least the national announcers are equal opportunity offenders.
