So it’s fairly obvious that once elimination games commence, the officiating changes drastically. We’ve seen it the past two NCAA tourneys, they let the players get physical and rarely call fouls unless it’s blatant or obvious.

As I’m watching the NuggetsWolves game 2, the Nuggets coach ran across the court and almost tackled the ref because players are falling left n right, and no fouls are being called.

This is happening in the ncaa tourney and nba playoffs. It benefits the bigger and stronger teams like UConn but does not benefit the teams who rely on the refs to get the advantage based on their skill players and quickness levels. With no clear advantage coming from how the refs are officiating the game, it all comes down to the bigger and stronger team will win.

This year, Clingan, Castle, and Newton were relatively bigger and stronger than their opponents but we probably won’t have the same luxury next season.  Just curious if anyone else is noticing this too. I enjoy this kind of refereeing because it takes the refs out of the game and puts the outcome in the player’s hands.
