Too many times this year, I have noticed that an official will work an mid-major Conf game one night, and then a high-major game the next night and the high-major game will get hacked up beyond belief. It is not the same game that is being officiated from night-to-night because the talent level differs, and I think the officials have a hard time adjusting to the talent.
I have coached at the high-major level, and have seen that too often.
That being said, I also have a complaint regarding the fact that West Coast officials are working a game pitting two East Coast teams. There is no way that those officials have seen the intensity level of a game played by two East Coast teams replicated on the West Coast during the season. I think that played a part in David Hall calling everything-and Olandis Poole letting the players play.
All coaches ask for is consistency, and unfortunately, with officials working 5 (or 6) out of a possible 7 nights a week, it is hard for them to stay sharp throughout the season. I don't think that is asking too much.
