What a BS shot.
Listen to DickieV talk he did say a lot of good things about GT. Another one down the drain but at least it wasn't a blow out.
With no home cooking we win that game. I just wish once the announcers would say the refs got it wrong against Duke. The Sampson play in the 1st half where he never was even close to stepping out of bounds and he bounced it off a Duke player, even during the replay the announcers acted like it was clear the refs got it right. The 3 pointer during the first half when we were up, anyone DVR that??? Not out of his hands before 0. The MGH horrible pass at the end of the game, the Duke player hops several times with clear possession before passing it and no traveling called... Lots of BS fouls and Okafor can pretty much walk with the ball and push whoever he wants out of the way. Cox was amazing on him BTW. UGH this team is so close to being great but they can't even be just good, killer..
Refs miss calls. There is no argument about that. But you cannot convince me refs are biased toward, or against, one team over another. I refereed high school games after I graduated from UAB and met a ton of game officials. Their overriding concerns were knowing the rules, following the action of the floor, and making calls crisply and confidently. The play happens so fast there is virtually no time to make judgments about which team is getting calls in their favor. None. Our secondary concern was walking out of the gym and not one of the fans really wanting to say something to us. Oh, and wanting the coaches to greet us in a friendly manner when we return to their school for another game. Conflict about who is officiating is the last thing a referee wants.
