BigRedBuster Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 16 hours ago, Red Five said: B1G officiating is just plain awful. Unless you are Edey (who can't get touched, but can manhandle people), there is just no consistency. Edey would maul people on rebounds and not get called, but as soon and someone bumps him a tiny bit while he is shooting there would be a whistle. It was just laughable. And this is a big reason why Purdue won't make it to the Sweet 16 - they won't get the favorable B1G reffing next week. In the Nebraska/Illinois game, it was impossible to figure out what a foul was on a shooter. Guys would get knocked over, no whistle. Then the next time down the court there would be some ticky-tack call on a drive. There was also a time when the ref blew the whistle on us before Shannon shot the ball, and still gave him an And-1. You know it was bad when my wife was complaining about it and could see it. Quote Link to comment

He is not saying contact is a foul. He is saying call it both ways. Inconsistency is the problem. Quote Link to comment

No, that's not what he said. He said "contact happens on one [end] and they call it a foul. Go the other way and they don't call a foul." That doesn't make it inconsistent. That means that the contact on one end was a foul and while the other contact wasn't. Just because there is contact doesn't mean there is a foul. Not all contact is equal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

And people are convinced there are inconsistencies when their basis for judgement is "there was contact on one end and they didn't call it. Then they did call it on the other end."
