SEC officials

[BktBallRef]

As two of the top conferences in college basketball, I can assure your that their games are reviewed and that they are constantly in touch with the supervisor of officials. I haven't seen anything in the ACC games that would lead me to believe that there's been any letdown is officiating. But I watch the game as a fan and an official.

I would suggest that you ignore the "talking heads" on TV. 99% don't have a basic understanding of the rules or any of the philsophies associated with them. They're just paid to talk. Also, what you see on TV is not always the same as what the official sees from 5 feet away. These guys don't get to the premiere basketball conferences in college basketball by being out of position or anticipating a call. Do they miss some? Sure they do. But not as often as the fans think.

I wouldnt say that I had rulings to back this up, but I would say that I had the consensus of SEC fans in mind when I say this. Ive heard it from a lot of people from a lot of different schools.

And where do fans learn about officiating? Most from the knuckleheads on TV.

Does watching a gourmet cook prepare a meal make one a chef? No.

Does watchong an architect design a building make one an architect? No.

Does watching basketball on TV make one an officiating expert? No.

You'll enjoy the game more if you focus on the players and the game and not worry about whether an official got a call correct or not.

Good luck to the Hogs!
