Message: [QUOTE="SUOrange44, post: 247459, member: 8"] Obviously, we can sit and complain all day (and into tomorrow) about the quality of the officials and the role they played re: the flow of the game. One thing that was really bothersome though is the amount of jabbering that was going on with the refs and the players. Not sure how much of that was caught on TV because it was often behind the play and the ball but I have never seen so much "interaction" between the officials and the players. It was very similar to MLB umpires who will seek out confrontation and continue the argument which, for the most part, is crazy. Heat of the moment, high pressure situations with some controversial calls...I did not drive to Boston to see the refs constantly flapping their gums after making a call. Not a shock at all to see Boeheim get T'd up considering this interaction shows that they were a little "sensitive" about the in-game criticism last night. SUOrange44 [/QUOTE]
