Jim Burr

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Why did we have to get him in the divorce with the AAC?

[Logi4three]

No doubt... and Pat "Double T" D.  Didn't the coaches have some say in refs that absolutely should not be brought along into the new league? 

[warriorstrack]

With little more than anecdotal evidence I whole heartedly agree, he blows

[NavinRJohnson]

He sucks, but was complete non-factor tonight.

[MUfan12]

Knew we were in for more of this sh*t when John Cahill was named head of officials.

personal fouls xavier-16, marq-28   foul shots-xavier-41, marq-13.  if ya ever get a chance, check out jim burrs stats sheet, they are very revealing.  all i know is that against us, he officiates like he was molested by a catholic priest when he was an alterboy and takes his hate out on us,  either that of he's an athiest

I blame Larry.

I blame Larry.

Damn, you just beat me to it.  "At ND we liked to play with officials biased against us because it built character."

Well, both schools are Jesuit, so it wouldn't explain last night.

MU played the whole game on the perimeter on offense, Xavier attacked and also got all the boards down low.  That explains most of the foul disparity. There is no conspiracy against MU.

Our players should take a lesson from the Dominic James School of Playing In Games Officiated by Jim Burr.

I don't think I saw a game from 2005-2009 officiated by Burr where Dominic didn't have his arm around him, pat his behind, share a laugh, etc.  And Dominic got some pretty favorable calls from Burr as I recall.  Coincidence?

When you give up that many offensive rebounds, eventually you are going to get called for fouls.
