Review?  Who needs review.     Tim Higgins and Jim Burr didn't need that stinking review to get calls wrong.   They were able to do it real time, not cause any delay in the game and they were more than happy to "T" you up if you disagreed with their call.

Ahhhhhh..... the good old days, when officiating in college basketball was good.

Questions:

1.   Has college basketball officiating gotten worse, or are we as fans just given the opportunity to see more angles, more slowed down replays and just generally have more opportunity to closely critique the calls that are made?   I mean they stop action for replays on some plays so we see those over and over.   They go to stop action after many fouls so we have the opportunity to see those plays over and over.    I wonder if they sped up the pace of the game, meaning more action fewer stoppages if we'd still be as critical.

2.   Would we be better off without replay?    Is it better to know that (a) some calls are going to be missed and you just have to overcome that or (b) that some calls are going to get missed and depending on the rules you may or may not be able to review it and may or may not have the right replay angle available to get it correct.
