The other poster that said you were passive aggressive is correct. Either that or you are an imbecile. Nobody here wants to hear how enlightened you are in your analysis by using statistics that are completely unqualified, i.e., when the fouls occurred, who got them, or external factors such as that we play a zone (which typically limits fouls), etc. The officiating was a farce no matter how you try to spin the numbers. So much media attention and opponent fans' boards posts tells me that you are wrong. It was a huge factor. Forty two FTA is practically unheard of and is a completely absurd number. It has to be close to a record. Talking about how their coaches put them in a better position to succeed is utter rubbish. Scoring 29 points from the line has far less to do with coaching than it does with reffing, so to ask that the biggest factor be left out of the conversation is ridiculous. The ramifications of the officiating even went far beyond points. It changed the style and the personnel available to compete on one side, while leaving the other nearly intact. And yes, Sulliger's 2nd foul was a foul. As far as posting on this subject is concerned, I'd rather have you not posting on this subject at all. Ever.
 
Oh yes, since you are so interested in stats, you might want to check the box score. SU had more points in the paint, more blocks, and shot a higher %. The word you are searching for is screwed.
