April 2, 201313 yr Ware is out,,, I didn't know that,,,,what happened?????:sssh: The young man broke his leg.
April 9, 201313 yr Cahill, Higgins and Greene calling the game tonight... No. They decided to watch it instead.:sssh:
April 9, 201313 yr John Cahill, Mike Eades,, Tony Greene, Karl Hess, John Higgins, Les Jones, Randy McCall, Doug Sirmons, Mark Whitehead, Terry Wymer. I have three words for the officiating......."They Were Terrible"......A tighter whistle in the 2nd half of the UL/WSU game was needed along with allowing "muggings" in the championship game. JMO
April 9, 201313 yr don't know for sure which one was the older white guy (Cahill maybe) but he made some terrible callls both ways and very late in some cases. Also the foul call on the block of siva by burke was terrible. I think Greene my have made that one.
April 9, 201313 yr There were obviously a number of missed calls. But the bigger problem is the way they called the game and I don't know if it would have been any different with another set of officials. I am preaching this in several threads. I am 100% behind Jay Bilas in his outspoken rants against the way college basketball is being officiated. Way too much contact is being allowed all over the court. Hand checks. Arm bars when beat out front. Pushing. Body bumps on shots. It is all out of control and it is ruining basketball. I am beetting last night's game did all of us a favor and brought attention to how bad it is. I think there will be some attempts this off season at bringing the game back from the football field to the basketball court.

I was wondering about the arm bar, didn't that use to be a foul or is it still suppose to be?
April 10, 201313 yr It wasn't so blatant in the UL game as the Syracuse game, but I think Burke gets away with some push-offs with his off arm as he dribbles.
April 10, 201313 yr NCAA is in early 90's NBA mode right now. When NBA got control of the Pistons/Knicks style of hand checking and body checking up and down the court, the Chicago style took off giving way to more entertaining basketball.
