Jay Bilas comments on First Take

Charlie Rose - Jay Bilas

Link to interview where he talks about his book (cough-blowhard-cough) but at the end of interview he addresses the state of the college game. Blames it on the way the game is officiated but says its not the officials as much as a lack of governing body/commishoner to administer all games/conferences and officials specific to basketball.

Key concerns seemed to be:

That the game has contact that violates offensive movment/balance/rhythm etc every game that goes uncalled.

That players are purposefully committing fouls that impede or hinder and are being taught to and how too combat as they are not being called.

For a number of factors including rough play offensive scoring and efficiency is back to levels below pre-shot clock.

NBA game has one person to whom conferences, teams, and officials are accountable so when that person is making decisions on the on court product everyone has to get on the same page in terms of calls and gameplay. If the game is not called or played the way they were directed they can be held accountable doesn't feel like that exists across NCAA.

PS. Am I the only one that finds it ironic that a former Duke perimeter player is complaining about the lack or offensive freedom and looking for foul calls??
