Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4269955, member: 591"] I still say you have to bear in mind that PAC 12 refereeing is different than in the East (Benny does the PAC). Much more likely to let "scrums" go, tend to allow beatdowns in the paint, but touch fouls are a no-no. It is very noticeable, especially in person, and especially if you attended the number of non-PAC12 games we did for 17 years before moving west. Like anything else, if you see it every day you start to not notice it as much. Barlow is just not good, as someone said, she calls the showy fouls. A reach in on Prince who had the Stanford player pinned by the Rutgers bench with less than a second remaining and Rutgers up by 1? Sure, it was a foul, although not always called regardless of when it happens, but if Prince had not reached in, in fact if she had magically transported herself 25 feet away, there was still nothing the Stanford player could have done. Except, as it turns out, hit 2 free throws to win the game with what I think ended up being .5 sec on the clock. [/QUOTE]
