Message: [QUOTE="ScarlettB, post: 2672464, member: 1017"] That is my sister's biggest complaint. It is almost never called. Let's face it, the refs are human, so of course they will miss some calls, but they also seem to have their biases. As a long suffering RU fan, we have had to contend with some calls over the years that have really seemed to favor our opponent - especially when it was Tennessee or with certain officials (Tina Napier and clockgate anyone?). I have also felt that many of the refs call less fouls on both ND and UConn than whoever their opponent was over the years. Maybe they actually commit less fouls, maybe they don't, but the refs seem more inclined to give certain teams and players the benefit of the doubt IMO. They also call more touch fouls on the guards than over the back on the bigs. I wouldn't have called the technical on a player for just slapping the floor - as long as she didn't also say something derogatory to the official, but I have seen technicals called on players for how they bounce the ball after a call they don't like, so again, it depends on who the ref is. L'ville should be glad they never called a technical on Jeff for being out of the coaches box, which he was constantly. They called McCallie for it in the Duke / UConn game. [/QUOTE]
