[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 789780, member: 630"] Can a game with no rules be a game or a sport? In my opinion college basketball is a game where the most important "rule" --fouls--is really not a rule. If you think it is a rule, then objectively explain what a fouls is in context of an actual game. The people who enforce the so called rules--the guys in the striped shirts--- are purely arbitrary in their calls. What kind of game is it where the rules are based on repeated arbitrary judgment? In football, officials blow calls, but rarely impact the final outcome. In basketball, officials influence the outcome of almost every game where the teams are relatively equal. How is that enjoyable to watch? Did your team win, or did it just get the most arbitrary breaks? I admit that I haven't enjoyed college basketball since the 2015 Final Four. The outcome of that Final Four was clearly driven by the officiating. [/QUOTE]
