College refs

February 12, 2013 11:58 am
 Fans of teams who have won think the refs of a particular game did a fine job.  Fans of teams who lose think the refs are horrendous and complain about one or two calls that they think would have changed the outcome.  What I want from refs is consistency.  They are human, it's true (I think) and make some mistakes.  With regard to the "flow" of the game, yes, I like to see games where refs don't call ticky-tacky fouls, but I also like to see games played by the rules.  The more players get away with moves that are putside the rules, the further outside the rules they will go.  Refs must keep control of the game.  It's up to the players to adjust accordingly.  It's not a free for all, and it's not football.

Personally I watch games that I don't care who wins and still think the refs are horrible.  I don't think a majority of them are consisent and tend to agree with Jay Bilas when he said that the college game is more physical than the NBA now.  He is right.  They allow too much hand checking and bumps in the lane and little elbows to be thrown to slow the offensive man down cutting through the lane.  Now there is a difference in running into Dwight Howard and running into Nerlens Noel but over all the game in college is more physical than in the NBA.  I hate to watch the NBA more from the stand point of being frustrated with guys who take 2 qtrs off before they start playing....or not seeing good games until there is something on the line but with that said I do think the NBA has a better flow to their games as a whole than college does.  You get the same type of fouls called in the NBA every night you don't with the NCAA games.  I mean how many times have you said...boy they are letting them play tonight only to change the channel and see a game where you can't look at a guy wrong without getting a foul.  Something has to be done but with over 300 teams in the NCAA's how do you get something consistent?

<p> You Don't!  And NEVER will!<br /> <br /> First of all, I do agree with what everybody is saying. Consistency is a problem. I have been watching decades of college BB. The problem still exist today as it did years ago. I think over the course of conf play the players do get to know how the refs will call games in there own conf's. Where it could be an advantage or disadvantage would be during the March Madness Tournament. Teams have to contend with refs from other conference's. Could this make teams change there style of play? Never has! Can the refs change the outcome of games? I will always believe they can. It's something that all fans have to except, and live with the good and the bad.     </p>
