Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3296821, member: 289"] I hate teams that push the envelope as far as physical contact, knowing that the refs aren't going to call everything and the coaches that tell them to do that. Referees tend to call was is beyond the norm for a team. If we are trying to stay in front of the ball, block shots and make steals and the other team is hand-checking, elbowing, pushing and shoving and the refs appear in the box score to have called the game evenly because they called about the same number of fouls on both teams when they were using a different standard to judge each team, that's just not fair. But it happens a lot, especially in the Big John Thompson era at Georgetown, the Jim Calhoun era at UCONN, the Jamie Dixon era at Pitt and the Rick Pitino era at Louisville. We were playing basketball in those games. The opposition was playing something else. [/QUOTE]
