Ollie needs to start berating officials.

[Excalibur]

The new rules don't allow the offensive player to extend his arm into the belly of the defender. That foul on Napier was awful.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Would it kill this team to not blow a double digit lead every g damn game? When were active and play with energy were really good; a top 5-7 team. When we play with no emotion,we stink. Time to start playing like we actually want to be there.

 

[James]

Napier was playing defense got a foul. Same ish happened with Nolan's second foul. That napier foul was hilarious

It is completely absurd what Hanlan is getting away with.

Ridiculous inconsistent officiating.

 

[Askgreek]

This game is horrible to watch. Our offense is stagnant and refs are terrible.

 

[bmayuc]

I've never seen anyone miss as many 1 footers as Nolan. Same with rebounds that hit his hands and ricochet 20 ft OB

Should Ollie teach our guys to push off? Just push your defender away.

You know the answer to that. What he needs to do is talk to the officials, not show them up or berate them. Talk to them, make them focus on what the other teams is getting away with.

I would like to see him appear to be more than a casual fan.

That announcer was making me crazy talking about the new rules every minute. Made the second half almost unbearable.

 

[aceboon]

Hanlan got away with at least 3 blatant pushoffs with his arm, I can understand the refs getting caught up in the moment after the 1st, but to allow 2 more after that??

 

[UChusky916]

Hanlan got away with 4 blatant push-offs.... and one of them got called on US as a blocking foul.

Once... ok. Twice... come on. Three times... WTF!? But he got away with it 4 times. Unbelievable.

 

[aceboon]

I don't see casual fans getting in defensive stances on the sideline and pointing where guys should be standing to space the offense.

I'm not sure if that was the problem. I'd love to hear someone ask KO what was 'wrong' with the team. It should not have been a nail biter like it was.

Anyway, I also agree KO needs to start working the officials. Not a peep out of him tonight that I caught on that front.

Your eye for KO action is keener than mine. I would have also liked him getting on Bazz for the quick trigger every time down in the last 5 minutes.

What else could he talk about? It was a damn free throw contest the guy probably felt like he had to explain why it was so awful to watch.

Honestly, as someone with reffing experience. Games are a lot more smooth when you call less rather than more. I always got respect for letting them play through a little bit.

Of course there is always a middle ground. But I think we are seeing how unbearable these games can become when the refs become the MVP of the game.

The pendulum has swung too far in favor of regulation and it needs to be pushed back.

You should try watching for it next game, you might pick up on it. There's levels to being active on the sidelines and not just limited to acting a fool.

Hmm...I'd like to see him coach the team as he sees fit and see where we end up at the end of the day. We're doing pretty well so far.

I kept looking im the stands at Calhoun. God what can i do to have Calhoun on the bench. Hell, give him a scholarship for all I care but damn sometime I just miss him going berserk on the sideline.
