Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 2104745, member: 833"] I will agree that the UConn/Cincinnati game was not a well officiated game. The ND/WVU game was fine. If Notre Dame wants to get called for fewer fouls, they should move their feet on defense. I have covered it elsewhere about the Northwestern/Gonzaga call. The refs missed the basket interference. The refs miss calls all the time. You move on. The technical was long overdue. Collins had been screaming at the refs and coming out on the court all game long, and his players had been barking at the refs most of the game too. I have seen Calhoun sent packing for much less than what Collins was doing. Collins was an embarrassment to the university and college basketball, and then he kept it up after the game. Enough is enough. It was a bad call, but the drama around the call is worse. Northwestern was probably going to lose that game anyway, yet a day later the call is still a lead story on espn.com. There are bad calls all the time. It is part of basketball, but I do not recall ESPN carrying on like this for a single missed call with 5 minutes left in the game where one of the teams lost by 6 points. I could almost see if one of the Northwestern players picked up his 4th or 5th foul, but it wasn't even a foul call. Yet here ESPN is, with 6 videos up on their website complaining about the call. It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that ESPN will pay the Big 10 $190 million a year over the next 6 years, could it? [/QUOTE]
