I agree with everything you just said. I never blame officiating for a loss usually because you just can't use that as a valid excuse. That being said I've watched a lot of games where a team gets a few consecutive stop on defense and nails one or two clutch shots and the shift in momentum feels like it carries them to the victory. That flow can be interrupted by a bogus out of bounds, shot clock violation, or foul call.

I just don't see how the shot clock violation happens. I would imagine even with the crowd noise, I think ite obviously noticeable and if you watched the Uk Wisconsin game it's not like any of the officials were out of position.

The out of bounds call is also ridiculous from their explanation. Watching it from a neutral perspective on a 50/50 call I would've gave it to Wisconsin but I don't think it was a 100% definitive it went off Winslow. The excuse tho that they didn't have the same angle is absolute bull crap. IF you ever see the official actually at the monitor they're usually always playing the same video as what the broadcasters are showing. Therefore I don't believe they wouldn't have it for the national championship.

I think the refs need to tone down on the foul calls to especially late in games. I also think they need to bump up the foul limit to 6. I realize getting the other team into foul trouble is a strategy and gameplan but with all the bogus and ticky tac fouls called they need to give the players a break.

The charge/block foul system needs to be done away with, I believe it's just a 50/50 call, there never seems to be any logic behind it, but rather random.

Couldn't agree more on the ticky tack fouls, what is the point of calling those? 40 ft away from the basket, and someone gets called for a hip check, play on. Two guys trying to jockey for position under the rim, yes their is gonna be some bumping, play on. Ticky tack fouls are the worst.

But probably even worse is the make up call, and you see that all the time. It's inexcusable.

I get it, these refs can't please everyone, they see things in real time, and cant v always get the angle we get. But I have no sympathy for them right now, they almost, and you could argue did ruin the tournament.

Grow some balls Ncaa, and call these guys out, because they are the real reason college basketball is so hard to watch sometimes.

^^ It's funny because so many coaches/media people are saying that there's too much grabbing and holding off-the-ball but then so many others are saying refs should let the kids play.

It makes sense that they wouldn't see it in 2 minutes of watching it. There was only 1 angle that really saw it. And even in that one angle. It had to be in super slow mo to confirm that it was touched. I hope people come to understand. It wasn't the refs fault in that situation. The rules held them back from getting a really good look.

If you saw the replay that was zoomed in, you would know that it was 100% off Winslow finger.

Not being confrontational, just don't want to give the refs any undeserving passes.
