I'm not saying I have perfect games at all. I was just making a point that I feel is valid. I don't think we should sit here and think these tournament officials ref 80 games a year for 20 years and never develop some control over what they call and what they pass on. Most of us can do that right now at the high school and lower college level. It is an example of "do things this way" and then officials moving on in the tournament who don't do it. Why don't the NCAA POE's always include something new year after year? If we are given a new rule, guess what, we call the new rule. Do you guys really think that couldn't be the case with philosophy?

I will say up front that the traveling calls on the NCAA video could be tough because players are so quick. However, following what Hank Nichols says every year, there should be more off-ball calls made in almost every game. I'm not saying go crazy, but do we really think there is a game where the post (off ball) is clean?

The first time an official calls a perfect game, that official should probably just hang it up and retire. But let's not underestimate how good these officials are and how much control they have over what they do every game.
