Nova won the National Championship because they shot like a combined 60% from the floor in two games in the tournament. So let's just get that out of the way first. No reffing is going to make a ball go into a basket.

Secondly, I'm not missing the big picture. Bad refs change games when you give them an opportunity to change games. For example, Villanova rotated their guards into the paint on defense all season, and UNC did nothing about it. UNC missed a  dagger at the end of the first half and let Nova swing the score just before the buzzer. And UNC let Nova's 8th guy (Booth) score 20. Not to mention the terrible defensive call on the last basket.

I don't see the problem in crafting a defense that may or may not fudge the rules. It's the job of the refs to decide what is acceptable and what isn't- if they're calling it tight, then back off. If they're not, take advantage of it.

Sure, it can be frustrating and ugly to watch. But no one would be complaining about chippy defense if we were doing it.
