[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 404186, member: 2784"] That goes back to the days when the Big East in particular and to a lesser but still significant level the Big 10 had much more physical leagues - and the referees for each of the leagues were separate and distinct groups. Big 10 refs where contracted and scheduled only by the Big 10, same for BE and ACC. No crossover so very separate and distinct styles of officiating were maintained that then got thrown in a pot during the NCAA tourney. And yes during that time the ACC was a more finesse league - though that wasn't hard to maintain given the full contact MMA style of the BE at the time. Now the officials are shared between conferences so there are not any separate and distinct styles. And the NCAA has tried with some level of success to push for some uniformity in how the game should be called in the regular season (where they have only suggestive powers) and the NCAA tourney (where they select the ones who advance to successive rounds based on performance). Anyway, long winded way to say any variation in "physicality" is based more on individual refs and/or how a team like UVA forces the refs to call a game. [/QUOTE]
