Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2123471, member: 2350"] All depends what happened and what they're talking about. But like I said, I didn't see much of that game. And Tony gets more latitude than some others because of the "Do you know who I am?" factor. I don't mean to say I support that, just saying it's the way it is. There's a lot of pressure on newer officials (new to the tournament). Whether they move ahead is based on their evaluations after each game/round. For after each round, half of them go home, so sometimes they'll try too hard to show how they can catch every little thing. But I'll be shocked if the guy who didn't get the shot clock violation in the Maryland-Xavier game isn't going home. That was an atrocious miss. Xavier player got a free put back off that. We can live with differences in interpretation or judgment (we always have) but we can't have a flat-out kicked call like [I]that[/I]. :noidea: [/QUOTE]
