Message: [QUOTE="jaydee602, post: 4256234, member: 8675"] Good analysis, Joe! My only slight disagreement is about the officiating. Both coaches commented that the NCAA assigned a West Coast ref who was not familiar with the physicality of the teams. Benny Luna was widely criticized for his erratic calls. Another ref was a floater with minimal experience. If the head of officiating was worried about the potential for violence, why not assign veteran refs who officiate these physical games without incident? Instead, the game was inundated with excessive foul calls in a futile attempt to control the game. [/QUOTE]
