Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 190504, member: 676"] Jim Burr is unquestionably an elite ref, that's why he regularly refs Final Fours. When it comes to refs, familiarity breeds resentment. We hate the refs that we recognize. If we think there's a bad call (and most of the time we're just being homers about it) we immediately see Higgins or Burr and say, "OMG they suck!" We ignore the 98% of correct calls they make due to decades of experience, or the fact that they never get intimidated by opposing crowds. Sorry everybody, I'm being way too reasonable here. What I meant to say was, "Burr is awful, and he's fat." [/QUOTE]
