Lah, me! You are completely missing my point. When you're out on the streets, do you arrest people according to written laws and statutes? Or do you make up your own laws, and then use them to arrest people? The point is that YOU are making up YOUR own basketball rules, and YOU are then amazed that trained and experienced NCAA officials aren't following YOUR rules. You don't have even the tiniest clue as to what the purpose and intent of the rule regarding intentional fouls is, but you're telling us that the people who wrote the damn rule are wrong, the experienced officials who applied the rule are also wrong, but you are right. That might not be the dumbest thing that a fan has written on this forum, but it's certainly in the top 10.
Btw, your comment on ACC officials tells me exactly what we're dealing with here too. What credentials do you possess, other than a La-Z-Boy, a 6-pack and a tv set, that will allow you to expertly evaluate, grade and rank all of NCAA basketball officials in the country? That comment made the top 10 too, fanboy.
