Ridiculous calls at the end

[MUfan12]

Not to jump on a conspiracy bandwagon, but if it was Dunn driving to the lane and Carter guarding him, the call would have been made.

Or Billy Garrett, as we saw earlier this season. And there was barely any contact on that play.

The non-call on Traci's drive was inexcusable. I really don't understand that. It has to be called. "Don't allow the refs to decide the outcome of a game." Whatever. Traci did exactly what he should have done - attacked the rim. He got fouled on his drive then again, more blatantly, when he shot.

Someone explain this to me. Both games in Milwaukee: at the end of one game Billy Garrett drives, gets a phantom foul called and wins the game; at the end of one game, Traci Carter drives, gets BLATANTLY fouled and no call.

Why the unnatural carnal knowledge do we consistently lack a homecourt advantage with the refs?? Even outside of those two end of game situations.

The new arena should fix this

That 3 point foul was a joke, as was that last drive.

Of course, it looked like some of our guys under Buzz shooting the ball when we're up and no reason to shoot.  Good Lord.

The Buycks 3 in the Louisville game. That's what it felt like.

It's the old "refs don't want to decide the game" deal ... although by not calling an obvious, blatant foul and making the offended team go to OT, they very well might be deciding the game. It's total BS.

I will always stand by the philosophy that if it's a foul in the first 30 seconds of a game, it's a foul in the last 30 seconds. As a ref, your job is to uphold the rules. As a ref in that situation, YOU aren't deciding the game, the Providence guy is deciding the game by committing the foul.

You don't have to convince me, jesmu. We are in agreement. If only one of us was the baseline ref on that Carter play!
