Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 5214762, member: 3517"] I mentioned it in an earlier thread, but it’s ironic that St. John’s seems to get the most friendly whistle (along with Creighton) in the Big East and we get the worst. Then I watch these games and Pitino is going absolutely nuts on the refs, has to be at least as bad as Hurley. The difference is I think the refs are genuinely scared of Pitino as he probably has some mobsters ready to go to war with him. There was a steal by Richmond at the end of regulation in that game where he had the most blatant carry I’ve ever seen in my life and a complete no call. They could have put that play into a textbook about what constitutes a carry. Then in our game against the Hall who is way more physical than we are I watch ticky tack foul after ticky tack foul called on us. On one play in the first half there were 2 clear charges, the first was completely ignored, then the second was called a blocking foul. Then in the 2nd half Mahaney got bowled over (no call) and Samson got called for a ticky tack call on the rebound putback. I’ve watched enough BE ball this year to tell you if the jersies were different every one of those calls likely goes in the opposite direction. [/QUOTE]
