Couldn't possibly be that the calls "changed" because the game changed, could it? You have said yourself that UCLA was down and then went on a roll. Well, they must have adjusted something that caused the game to change - hence the calls will change to match what is now going on out on the court.
Add to that the fact that Stanford panicked as they felt things slipping away and it's no wonder that calls "went against" Stanford...but to say that the refs "got caught up in the excitement" is pretty silly. Those were some very experienced guys who knew what they were doing out there. |

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the team that is down playing a more aggressive defense and creating more fouls.... It has to be the refs fault.
I hope I never have to work with you. You must throw your partners under the bus all the time.... Edited to add: Rocky beat me by a minute on the same thought....

I'm not attacking the refs- I'm pointing out that refs sometimes join in with a team is on a roll. I don't think they are doing it on purpose but when a team starts making mistakes and one team gets on a roll sometimes calls will go their way. I don't see anything wrong with pointing that out and I saw it yesterday during the game when Stanford lost an 11 point lead. A lot of that was their fault as I said in my original post. Oh and the replays showed the refs made 3 bad calls in the last two minutes. One I don't blame on them because it did look like a foul but only with the on court cam that it was shown not to be a foul. The second no one was even touched. And the third happened with 3 seconds to go and it was a clean block but it was called a foul. Everyone makes mistakes but I'm just saying that the refs made calls they might not have had if UCLA was not on a roll.
-------- my point was that in games when one team starts getting on a roll sometimes the officials start favoring the stronger team. It usually won't last and once the other team gets a few baskets it goes back. It doesn't happen a lot. I've seen it before in Duke and UNC games many times and high school games especially.

You don't fit in here. You can critique a call, mechanics, etc. We all miss or screw up a call. We try to learn from those mistakes by discussing them. You're not doing that. All you're doing is questioning the integrity of a D1 crew. And you see nothing wrong with that. That's very telling. |

As a fan of basketball of course I can critique the calls. The holier than thou attitude here is ridiculous. yes, refs can decide games and yes poor officiating can cost a team a win. I haven't been ripping refs in my earlier posts. I'm merely point out the consistency of the calls changed in the last few minutes.

You're challenging the way the game was called. You're accusing the refs of letting their emotions get the better of them in a game.
