Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4914799, member: 71"] I've been convinced for a long time that the B1G issued a directive to protect Edey from foul calls. I cam live with that as I see it as a contributing factor in Purdue's tournament performances. What Clingan needs to do is calm down just a little. He's long and gangly (obviously) and at times his arms move too much. A lot of times things may look to the official like he's fouling when no actual contact has been made. This could be the one area where, while our coaching staff is fantastic, he isn't getting the benefit of a coach who was a true big man that had to learn himself how to use his hands/arms witjlh more subtle movement. I do however also believe there is at least a subconscious (possibly fully conscious) among the refs that erring in UConn's opponent's favor is the safer way to call the game as we'll probably win anyway.
