BYU v New Mexico

JR I agree with you whole heartedly, and have mentioned this a time or two in this and other threads. Lonnie Dixon certainly doesn't need me to defend him, the games he has worked in the past speak for that (NCAA regional finals). Until we hear his side of the story we won't know all of the truth. To compare Lonnie Dixon to Michael Jackson is flat out wrong. Like I asked before Rlighten, when did you graduate from BYU??

1996. But according to refs, things like that don't matter. That is why an Arizona booster can officiate an Arizona football game against Utah, because officials are so pure that they could never show any bias.

So, cmathews, your implication that my opinion is of less value because I am a fan of BYU, would, I guess, also imply that either 1) refs are better than normal humans, or 2) that that refs bias' CAN affect their behavior.

Hmmm.

On a side note, I do find this website (which I discovered today on my quest to find Lonnie Dixson) quite refreshing. Officials are never heard from off the floor, so it is interesting to hear what you all have to say. But I do sense a bit of "us against them" attitude among the posts. Us against the coaches, us against the media, us against the fans. Excuse my diversion.
