This! Pitt could be up 25 points and have every call go there way yet he'd still be constantly working the refs. I feel like Dixon spends to much energy and planning trying to figure out how to get the game called in his favor and how to be physical and get away with it. I think he would be a better coach if he used more of his effort elsewhere. Its quite obvious with the rule changes he's gotten his guys to do far far less on the ball grabbing and deterring. Off the ball again much less. I'd also say that the moving screens where few compared to previous years but he has had his guys crank it up on he rebounding action foul every single time even after the other team gets the ball. It was wild to watch guys jumping sideways into players jumping straight up, shoving often with two hands in the back (esp. on their own ft shots) going over the back and then of course hacking the arms of any opposing player that had the ball. To his credit its what kept them in the game to his dis credit he continues to find a way to uglify bball and seems to base his strategies on breaking the rules and getting away with it. Get some better recruits and teach that same ball movement passing offense while only taking very good perimeter jumpers and he would have more success later in the season IMO. I can see Pitt's front line getting into all sorts of foul trouble in the NCAA's early round all ready.
