We all have bad games. We all have bad tournaments. Overall the umpiring was not up to the par of what we have come to expect at this level and of these selections. We could get into "agenda's" but I dont think i have enough time.

Very good points here.

I'm just curious about your comment on how NCAA mechanics elevated the problem. Just asking.
