“The protocols for officials are continually being evaluated,” Big East spokesman John Paquette said, “but there aren’t any planned changes at the moment. We are requiring all officials to wear masks during games.”

It is fair to say, according the Big East, that the requirement for referees to wear masks during games will be more carefully enforced going forward. On Tuesday, and before, some refs wore masks, some did not, some would lower them on occasion.

So the 2 officials who didn't wear masks during the UConn-Butler game were allowed to ref without masks? Whose job is it to enforce these rules? If you're going to have these rules to protect everyone and allow games to go on then what are officials doing not following the rules? Smh

Connecticut has done a way better job than Indiana.

He just quoted stats that Indiana has fewer deaths per capita. How is that doing better?

Is this a serious question?

Is this a serious question?

I know absolutely nothing about what Indiana is doing. A metric that shows them with fewer deaths seems to be a positive indicator.

They haven't done much of anything, they were just a lot more fortunate than CT. in terms of geography and when the virus actually hit the state as opposed to CT.

Not by the numbers. Just like in basketball, that’s how you keep score. Like in business feel good/you care activity should not be confused with results.

 

[FatHank]

or give the ref a button that triggers the switch that lights up the backboard...it's not really that hard

Button blinks the arena lights twice. That'll get people's attention. ?

Is that your scientific answer? The virus didn't "hit" Indiana.

The reason that Connecticut's death toll is so high per capita is that the governor sent Covid positive patients back into nursing homes. That's not speculation. Almost every state that did that has higher death rates.

But don't top posting, I enjoy your fact free opinions. At any rate this is getting way off topic.

Maybe if you're a simpleton that's how you keep score.

Connecticut had a ton of transmission before the pandemic was even recognized nationally. Your comparing apples and oranges here by saying Indiana did a better job than Connecticut and using one metric to make your judgement

You can't possibly be this stupid.

Chief this ain’t sports you gotta have a little nuance to make an educated answer and this ain’t it

@Palatine, everyone. Everyone, @Palatine.

My goodness. You just completely ignore reality and then insult me. It's classic. What happened happened. It explains the disparity between Indiana and Connecticut. Look it's not personal. No need for insults.

Can they move the NCAA tournament to fit all the games that need to be scheduled?

Considering the planning that is going into having the tournament in Indiana I highly doubt there is room to move it around to different dates.

THE FACTS​

[cullaville]

While I enjoy being able to watch UCONN and other college hoops I still wonder if playing at all is the right thing to do.

Is flying these kids all over the place , going through airports, staying at hotels etc in their best health interests? In addition there are the refs, scorekeepers, tv camera operators etc that are needed to put the games on.

Be safe everyone

So Indiana has better policies because deaths are lower? Population density, age of residents, distance to epicenter all irrelevant?

Good luck with this opinion on the Boneyard. Those of us who agree with you have already been put in the corner and told to stay there.

This is way too much nuance for this board to handle. Go with color, pictures, noises and less than 3 seconds for general roles of thumb.

Connecticut has around 600,000 folks 65+. Indiana has over a million. beagle on.
still waiting for the answer to the simple question - is the but/x game still on?

You don't think CT.'s location and timing of spread mattered. You don't think getting the strain from Europe as opposed to getting the strain from China mattered. I heard you the first few times you intimated you have no clue what you're talking about.
