Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5200256, member: 12088"] Ok, now I'm pissed... or maybe not. I complained above about that whistle in the opening possession Sunday for traveling. Just now I was watching a replay of the UCLA-USC game and the analyst is praising Betts for drawing a crowd in low post and hitting a cutter -- and she does a good job getting the pass off -- but she shuffles her feet before she does it. Similar plays happen two more times and I think she shuffled her feet on at least one more of them [the camera doesn't get a good view of her feet on the third one]. Is Betts getting the benefit of the doubt on travel calls from the B1G refs? Because Jana certainly isn't getting any sort of break from anyone's refs. I know, she has traveled on occasion. But if Betts is getting a break, shouldn't Jana not be getting false whistles at least? And I know, it's not on purpose. I sometimes wonder if the refs are unused to seeing bigs drive through the lane and so they overreact or anticipate and make mistakes. In other respects, I think Jana has gotten an easy whistle on fouls. She inadvertently poked Feagin in the eye Sunday and the refs didn't even bother looking at it again. They knew it was incidental contact. And she's gotten some blocks that could have been whistled. [/QUOTE]
