[QUOTE="gamer, post: 2106644, member: 5967"] Rebecca is smart and likeable --- but, I don't believe it is the role of TV commentators to take such firm positions on referees' calls. Maybe it's okay to say they don't agree with a call, but if so, leave room that you might be wrong. You weren't there at the gym. The referees were just a few feet away. Their job is a hard one and pretty much a thankless one, and doesn't pay well to boot. "Questionable" or "debatable" is about as far as it should go from the TV people. The woman doing color in Austin, whom I also like, was quite opinionated on calls . This may be the trend. Doris Burke has been doing it, too. Rebecca came close to saying NC State should have won the game because of one ref's call. The whole two hours of playing and calling is what determines the outcome of the game. Refereeing is never an absolute science. They have to go with what they saw at the time. There is no time to telephone Lobo or Burkes and ask what the correct call was. If Rebecca or Doris feel strongly about the mistakes referees make, a career change could be a viable option for them. Maybe they would elevate the quality of officiating (but I doubt it.) [/QUOTE]
