Worst Refereed Games Against Cuse - All Time

[upperdeck]

how many people would be good at their job if they also had to run and call things with 1-2 secs to think about.

Its like saying how many of you have to code in IT under pressure at speed? Nothing better than needing to make coding changes to a dozen programs and you have 15 min to get it done and moved to the server with no testing allowed..

Has the stripe who called the charge at Duke ever worked one of our games again? I'm sure he has but I rarely seem him anymore.

he was the guy who was running away from the play and made the call with the eyes in the back of his head.

42 Free throws is crazy and fouling out 2 of our best players. Sullinger was allowed to do whatever he wanted in that game.

Aaron Craft and the love fest the refs and commentators had for him that day...most annoying storyline of all time. It was clearly predetermined that he was winning, that day.

from the ny times, february 18, 1981

The officiating in a basketball game between Syracuse and Villanova tonight led the former National Basketball Association star, Dolph Schayes, to leave the stands to challenge the referees.

It took four persons to restrain Schayes, 6 feet 8 inches tall, after the game, when he ran down from the bleachers and charged the referees, Ed Batogowski and Larry Hill.

. . . (Schayes) is a former director of officials for the National Basketball Association.

Psst

we shot 41 FTs vs Cal a year later.

When I saw the thread title and CsonkaStash, I assumed it was a trick question and the only correct answer is: "every Syracuse game every played is the worst officiated SU game of all-time, they're all tied for #1."

Great comment and true...Refs generally hate us.

And I just read Jake's comment about Marek. Thought it might be fun to link to that in this thread.

Yes, it's true his production is down, but it's been well noted that opposing coaches seem to have decided that the best game plan is to assign someone to take him out of the game. If you watch the action away from the ball you can see he's not only being guarded, he's being grabbed held and...

But in regards to the thread, the Ohio State game is clearly #1 in my book.

Surprised nobody put Michigan up there. If you want to get really irritated, watch the last 3 minutes of that game again.

Yes the Triche charge stands out for sure near the top of my list. I'd have to rewatch to jog my memory on what else happened.

 

[Cusefan0307]

There was a pretty terrible charge call against Triche in the first half of the OSU game which should have been an and 1. That took points off the board in what was mostly a close game.

 

[kuethstheman]

Forgot about that one. Andre was a statue and Adams, (a long time pest) wound up on the line with no time left, just needing to make a free throw to win.

I also, amazingly, forgot the Michael Graham game where a flagrant foul got turned into a one-and-one by John Thompson's glare. That was Froggy, too. he lived in Syracuse and somebody figured out that 70% of his calls in a Syracuse game went against Syracuse.

You're slipping!

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Wasn’t necessarily the worst officiated game but I couldn’t believe the missed tackle on Kris Joseph vs Butler

was that the suplex play ? That suplex was the most egregious non call in SU history

 

[reedny]

1985 game vs BC.

Froggy called a block against Andre Hawkins when it clearly was a charge on Michael Adams.

Years later Froggy admitted it was the one call that kept him up at night.

Was that the game in which Horace Broadnax kneed Hawkins in the groin?

And someone remind of the year we lost to Pitt in the Dome .. in the last 2 minutes. Pitt brawled us the entire game (no surprise) and the Refs let them get away with murder. At the end of the game, the pitt guard clearly traveled about 3-4 steps after the ball was inbounded - no call. We would have had the ball and a chance to tie. Horrible, horrible officiating that I'll never forget (I've repressed most of it).

I'm in denial.

We can't do what the basketball players do, either but we know when they do it badly.

Ohio State

Not even close - Ohio State.

I had Kansas fans telling me we got jobbed.

One in the Leo era ,80's ,Dr Tom Davis Coach, BC Game 6 SU Players fouled out...

...
For this same reason, I don't think the NCAA will want Kansas to win the championship this year and will be looking for Kansas to get bumped off due to a badly called game.

Luckily for the NCAA, Bill Self is more than capable of doing that himself without their thumb on the scale.

 

[Eric15]

How is there no mention of that incorrectly interpreted over-and-back call on Scoop Jardine vs Marquette in the tourney that literally cost us the game?

 

[joct]

1992 NCAA Tourney 2nd Round vs UMass, in Worcester. Pretty much a road game. Calipari's coming out party. Came out of nowhere to win the BET a week earlier, battled them real tough in OT. Down 1, ball goes out of bounds under UMass basket with 29 or so seconds left, like 4 seconds on shot clock, ref gives them the ball in disbelief of SU players. To beat the shot clock their center Harper Williams hit the first 3 of his career to give them a 4 point lead, which we never recovered.

A few days later the NCAA said they got the call wrong.

Froggy = Dick Paparo

The most hated ref!

I didn't dislike him. I just didn't like his calls. the one I hated was Jim Burr, who took such pleasure in riling up the home team fans and was so theatrical in his calls.
