VT vs. Duke

[BigDT (VT)]

Thank you for the replies ... please note that I didn't say "money" - I said "bias".

If you have an official who works primarilly ACC games and has seen Duke play 50 times, but has never seen a Tech game (Tech was in Metro, then the A-10, then the BE and only this year has joined the ACC), is it possible that the official could be more accustomed to Duke's style of play and thus inclined, even subconsciously, to focus more intently on what Tech might be doing wrong than on what Duke is doing wrong?

I have very little basketball background so please forgive my ignorance here ... what level of contact is illegal and warrants a foul? Is it a judgment call where the crew could call a very strict game or a very lenient game?
