Great point here. Ballock was mouthing off to the refs on multiple occasions.A ton of push back on my Joey travel observation. I want to make it clear that the no-call on Markus was way more egregious. Speaking of bad calls and bug moments - and apologies if this one has been discussed: recall the no-call on Joey’s drive that led to Wojo’s T? Anybody else agree that was actually motivated by events immediately preceding that play: the no-call on Chartouny being hacked while driving after we had cut the deficit to 4, then Creighton hitting a 3 immediately after. Wojo was hot - and with good reason. I believe it was around the 8 minute mark and Creighton only had 1 team foul. After that, the fouls evened out. And the fouls on the big men hedging screens finally started getting called. I believe that finally got Markus the space that he’d needed to get going and opened up the offense as a whole.
Also .. Theo's technical for hanging on the rim was bogus. Typically, that's given for celebrating a dunk, which was not the case as it was a missed rebound .. but second, there was a player underneath Theo that he didn't want to fall on. 5 minutes later, a CU player hangs on the rim even longer .. with nobody under him .. no call. Neither should have been a T, but the 2nd time it happened would have been a perfect make-up call moment.
It was Morrow, but also he was trying to a follow up dunk so it was a doubly dumb call...though I didn't realize there was a T there, I thought it was just on Wojo.
The Tech was on Wojo for complaining about how Joey was fouled on the drive, no?
I disagree. The foul called was for a push which if called would be the reason for the travel. Without a foul called it’s a travel
I thought it was on Wojo, too.
Once again it’s important to point out that the game is just way too fast for the poor quality of refs that dominate college basketball. There needs to be a better solution. These guys missed 10-15 calls and got another 10-15 wrong. Unfortunately that’s the norm. Until a major conference does something about it, it will get worse.
@JayBilas 34mIncredible end to regulation in Marquette-Creighton. First, throwing long with .8 up 3 points is the only way you can lose. Inbound under the basket, game is over. Second, closest replay review for the officials you can have. Wow.
What is your proposal?I ref basketball. It is brutally difficult to officiate. And I only do youth rec leagues now. When I used to do high school, at the end of the night I assumed I missed several calls.
My proposal is full time refs. Properly trained, have to pass annual fitness (and vision) tests, with a ranking system so the best refs get the top 25 games. Similar to the NBA model. It works there.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
