Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 2023753, member: 417"] I know refs are evaluated after every game - both at the collegiate and professional level. I have a friend who is a backfield judge in the NFL after performing that duty for many years in the B1G - which he also served as a basketball referee. The scrutiny is pretty intense. I am guessing that the AD's move at SC is intended to insure that the evaluation of the officiating in this particular game is more sincere or thorough than might otherwise be the case. I think I may have mentioned this before - we've on and off complained over the years about the lack of quality referees, particularly in WBB. I have felt this year there has been a general level of improvement. That is, until the last two South Carolina games aired on national television. Two games consecutively where it is easy to make a claim that the referees had an outsized role in determining the winner. [/QUOTE]
