Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5186363, member: 1023"] I think this is right in theory but everyone in every sport knows that officials don’t and likely never will make calls in the final seconds that they will always make in the first ones. Beyond that calls are made for specific reasons. How many times have we all seen refs start calling games tighter if it looks like things are getting very chippy? A good official knows how to keep a game under control and how to get it back when it gets out of control. Frankly I hope part of this is Big East refs learn to call fouls based on the rules and stop playing to the “rough tough” New Big East nonsense. When you watch other leagues, play is much less about subway mugging and more about the beauty of a free flowing game. Even Hurley commented that his system is more effective in the NCAA tournament because the do call fouls for clutching and grabbing and holding. [/QUOTE]
