Horrible officiating! (NCAA)
 

Please feel free to post rants about NCAA officiating in this thread. Then they'll be centrally located, and easier for us to ignore. Thanks!

Is awful close enough to horrible to qualify for this thread?;)

Nope. It must be at least "the worst I've ever seen!" to qualify.

Can we move all rants by certain basketball officials regarding football officials to this thread as well?

You mean the same officials that come here and claim that commentators are clueless about basketball, but complain the same way about football games they watch on TV?

I have no idea who you are talking about. ;)

Peace

Feature request: ignore a thread!

And softball umpires as well?

Maybe we should go to their sites and complain about what we see in the local parks or fields.

Or I forgot no one cares about those sports. :D

I was at a Twinkie eating contest when the blind and somewhat stupid umpire disqualified my eater for an illegal dribble down his chin............:eek:

That's what he gets for picking up his first dribble. Had he merely continued it, it would have been legal.

silly fanboys.

:eek: What? You'd be surprised. I think it actually has to do with the level that's being played. Big difference between those big homerun hitting behemoths and the slaphitting recreational peons. I know because I've had the whole gamut last year. The blues I've worked with in the rec leagues make me want to go home and develop a serious drinking problem. :eek:

You conveniently leave out the fact that basketball commentators don't know the rules, and those "same officials" you're talking about here are talking about judgment calls that are clearly wrong. You also leave out the fact that you refuse to post anything that could be construed as admitting that a football official might have missed a call. On the other hand, I routinely point it out if I think a basketball official kicked a call.

Rut would agree with you that the announcers don't know the rules, he just finds it ironic that someone who acknowledges that would use announcers as backup for an opinion about football officials.

And to come here bashing judgment calls? "Judgment calls" are rarely "clearly" anything, right or wrong.

Judgment calls such as the phantom holding on Seattle in the SB against Pittsburgh when Hasselbeck completed the pass to Stevens inside the Pittsburgh five.

Actually I have no problem talking about judgment calls, but I at least am in a better position to judge those than you are who has never worked a football game. And many of those complaints you have made, you did not know the rule/philosophy/expectations similar to what you are saying about Knight in this thread.

Exactly!!!
