That's a good crew. Perhaps Clougherty should pull a switcheroo and throw Kersey, Natili, and Greene out there.

These guys are crazy if they think these numbers are actually indicative of any sort of conscious or unconscious bias. Roger Ayers is one of the top officials in college basketball, so it would stand to reason that he's assigned more meaningful games. As an educated guess, UK probably loses 6-7 games a year on average. Generally speaking, those losses typically come against the likes of UConn, Florida, Louisville, Duke, etc. Those losses typically do not come against programs like Vanderbilt, Mississippi St., Marshall, etc. On which games do you suppose Roger Ayers is more likely to be assigned? Do you think Calipari is more likely to get emotional in a highly-contested, high-stakes game than in a 25-point UK blowout? All this means is that the UK games Roger Ayers is on are generally the big ones.

If you think that research is crazy, head on over to @NBARefStats on Twitter (if you're cool enough to have a Twitter that is).

And Karl Hess, Roger Ayers, and Mike Roberts were on the grassy knoll.
