Message: [QUOTE="microfich, post: 5148696, member: 1029"] * reffing. As much as close games have taken years off my life I think most of that has been due to ire at ref decisions rather than lead changes with players making plays against us. That's my problem but I don't think I'm alone. Fans rightfully expect 100% precision which isn't fair when you're talking about humans, which most refs are ;) That was a good crew who choked up an inconsistent mess during crazy crunch time. The tiresome under 2 minute reviews have gotten to the point where when Driscoll made that OOB off UConn call near the end he immediately also threw up the swirly-hand review signal - on his own call, which was overturned. Laugh riot. They are also predictable in their pet calls. Driscoll will make 2-3 phantom calls a night with poor perspective from at least 30 away. Potter believes in post body fouls before they occur. John (sorry, can't recall last name) is routinely focused on reaches as players cross the floor. He also looks for players jawing at each other before the ball is in play and follows them with his prepared short whistle on often-minimal contact. My whole deal about refereeing is to limit calls to those that are consequential - these kids can take hits. As our AAC years should remind us, we're fortunate to have such good crews in the Big East. What an infuriating thing to admit. [/QUOTE]
