PAC 10 Officiating

The PAC 10 is infamous for "ticky-tack" fouls, where other major conferences let the players play more, instead of dictating the speed and outcome of the game with questionable calls.

What "ticky-tack" fouls were you mad about? Because any contact that affects what a player is trying to do, despite the severity of the contact should be called a foul.

What everyone said is basically right on. But these officials are evaluated by every call, every play and have to explain in detail what they saw and why they made calls or did not make calls. Even those games you do not see on TV, the same things apply. And if they are doing a bad job, there are about 200 people that will take that person's place in the conference. But as stated, officials at that level work several conferences and had to work other conferences and have some time of success before getting hired at a major conference like the Pac-10.

Oh well, I guess you are just another fanati....
