It's difficult not to connect the obvious no-calls and missed calls all season long both on the road and at home to JB's outburst at Duke last year. Couldn't ever prove it but it sure looks and smells like someone high up decided that his showing up the refs in the ACC's pantheon deserved some serious payback. The fact that there's no public accountability for college refs, when the players and coaches are subject to heavy public scrutiny, lowers the quality of the reffing. I've never understood why coaches can't publicly complain about the reffing. Because it undermines the sanctity of the game? Really, how does it do that? A ref blows a call like what happened today and the coach can't say anything about it afterwards? So his or her silence essentially cements bad refereeing. That's just nuts.

What's needed in college hoop is a challenge system, similar to what tennis, baseball and the NFL use. That might make the refs more accountable for missing such obvious calls that change the nature and often the result, of the game.
