I will also say this. The crew that worked the Final Four championship game appeared to me to be too slow, just like in the Spurs series. When the officials are struggling to keep up, they start reaching for calls |

You're kidding me. The best referees in the world can't keep up with the pace? Trust me, they can keep up. The pace was not too fast for them. BOISEBALL: Yeah the reason you don't see so many of those "phantom calls" in the college game is because if you don't get KILLED then you don't have a foul. College refs, imo, miss more plays on the side of no calls that should have been blown, whereas NBA refs miss more plays by blowing their whistle on plays that should have been no calls, but then again NBA guys have more accountability and know that if they don't blow the whistle they will be fired, whereas college refs don't get every play charted and i.e., if a team who is up 20+ in a game drives to the hole and gets hit, with no doubt in anyones mind, the ref can pass on it and most will say that it was a good pass because that team is up 20. In the league, you don't have that luxury. If it was an illegal hit then you owe it to the crew and the game to have a foul regardless of score and time. Check the stats, NBA refs get more plays right than, say, refs in the Big 10. Oh wait you can't check that, the Big 10, along with the rest of Div. 1 conferences don't chart plays. Regardless, I think if they had, NBA refs would have more plays called correct even with Hank Nichols judging what is and what is not a foul. |

What I find amazing is that you got one clown who's never done anything except some low level rec league ball in his life, and another young official that's never done a high school varsity game in his life either afaik, yet they're both pontificating mightily about the competency of the top NCAA and NBA officials. What's wrong with this picture?
Lah me..... |

Personally, I am an aggressive referee and err on the side of blowing the whistle rathering than sucking on plays. Don't get me wrong I have to be sure of what I'm calling. My aggressiveness is why I favor the pro game. They want you to be aggressive, whereas I don't believe college is so much like that. |

BTW, if you want to know what I work just ask Chuck Elias. We recently met. He seems like a great guy and I wish I could have sat and talked with him more. |

At the start of the season that just ended, you admitted that you've never done a high school game in your life at any level- Frosh, JV, whatever. And I hate to break it to you, but doing a low level D3 or JC game because no one else is available in the afternoon is not the same as doing D1 ball . http://forum.officiating.com/showthr...877#post334877 Now all of a sudden you've done HS varsity and more. What is "more"? D1? NBA? Maybe you should build up a little spit in your whistle before you start expounding at how good or bad officials are at levels that you can only dream of attaining. Hell, it's probably a good idea if you learn a few basics rules first- like maybe that you can't call a "T" on a player who has rattled the board while making a legitimate attempt at a block. http://forum.officiating.com/showthr...891#post358891 If you want to "illustrate points", maybe you should actually learn those points first. Don't let that stop you, and Old School, from telling us what's wrong with D1 and NBA officials though. Here's a little advice for you. You can learn a lot more listening than talking. Feel free to ignore that though because whatthehell does a grumpy old man know anyway. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Thu Jul 26, 2007 at 01:05am. |

The one thing we can count on is when JR dresses someone down. Not only did he make a comment about a certain person’s comments, he showed the darn posts that the comments were made. I am scared of you JR. Damn that was good. It kind of puts all the comments into a different light. I was not even paying attention that closely. I guess I need to read more posts on this board.
Peace

The coach first complained to my partner who was the Trail on the play, and then later asked me during a FT if the rule on hitting the backboard had changed. I told him that it had not and that as long as the player makes a legitimate attempt to block the shot that there is nothing wrong with the play. He replied that they don't call it that way in California. |
