A fan of Mercer actually said after the game that even though he was a Mercer fan that the Lady Camels got the bad end of the stick on the calls the whole game. He said very lopsided.

Truth be told that doesn't mean that the person knows what they are talking about. Being sympathetic doesn't make someone correct. 12th Region officials need to be adjusted to immediately once the game starts. Some teams adjust to how the game is being called. Others don't. It is imperative that all teams adjust to how the 12th Region referees call the game or you'll see one team shooting 33 free throws while the other one shoots 3. If anything the 12th Region referees are consistent.

So, how does region 12 define a foul?

Very poorly.

Very poorly.

 

Elaborate please. I see hand slaps called on the perimeter and muggings under the basket and body fouls ignored.

most of the officials in the 12th call the game extremely tight, especially on the perimeter. You just have to know going into the game they are going to do this...and it's always nice to have a deep bench.

I see the exact same things. Every game. I see tons of inconsistency from the officials every game so you learn quickly that no contact is the rule of thumb and never expect them to make the call that you feel should be called. Basically, if you think you were fouled you probably were but don't expect the call. If you think you didn't commit the foul you probably didn't but they called it. Therefore, never touch the person with the ball. Only move more than one foot if you are going to score and if you are on offense and have the ball and your defender flops then they will call the charge. For some reason defenders are never standing straight up. Just the way it is. Adapt and adjust. Welcome to the 12th Region.

Simple actually.. When one team adjusts to the way the game is being called and one refuses to. Also, I would assume nearly half of these free throws were taken by Faith Lake who was attacking the rim HARD trying to reach her 1,000 point mark.

Campbell Co fans were about as obnoxious as I've seen in a while. EVERY call was a bad call. I can assure you that the foul count had nothing to do with Mercer dropping 60 in the first half.

Seriously? Pat yourself on the back, your stacked team shot well, Campbell outplayed them second half. Sorry we have eyes and call them like we see them.

Maybe we'll get a rematch at the Sweet 16 or next year in Mercer County's Christmas tournament.

AMEN!!!

Guy in front row for Mercer had to make a comment after every call, very obnoxious up 29. Must attend Rupp regularly.

I agree that guy was very obnoxious. He complained about every call.
