Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1235206, member: 569"] Agreed the more I think about the college bball officiating situation (which is way too much since its such a problem) it just comes down to them allowing so much contact on a regular basis that fouls are completely ambiguous and basically at the referees discretion/interpretation at that time rather than by the rules. You state the main issue well [B][I]"The referees have essentially created a game where they control the action instead of just officiating it."[/I][/B] I bet you could review individual refs game in and game out and see that they don't call things the same way game to game or even during the course of one single game. The referees, players and coaches should never have to get a "feel" for how its getting called. Like Jay Bilas says if its a foul it should be a foul at any point in the game. The problem is they do not officiate by the rule book at all anymore. [/QUOTE]
