Everyone needs to email Mark Jackson Monday

[Baz=Heisman]

The officiating screw jobs are completely out of control and, while the officiating has been bad across all of college basketball, it seems to be getting us in a new way every game. That sequence where it was CLEARLY backcourt on Maryland and then CLEARLY an offensive foul on Maryland did us in and these weren’t even bang bang calls. We better be lobbying the league for certain refs and just overall more accountable.

Mark Jackson’s email is athleticsdirector@northwestern.edu. I will be emailing him first thing Monday.

That did seem to be a big turning point in the game.

Maybe pull an Andy Dufresne, send a letter a day to the big ten offices?

If you think NU is getting uniquely screwed, welcome to the club. So does every single other fanbase.

Pretty much every road team gets screwed in the B1G. UCLA game not withstanding, but they are a blue blood,

Was the game even close. You are not in Maryland’s league. They were a legitimate league title chaser, you were not ever in the conversation.

Dude it was like a 4 pt game well into the 2nd half when that occured. I know you were watching your own game but why come over here to troll don't you have anything better to do with your Saturday?!?

 

[iubaseball]

you got beat by the much, much better team than you. PERIOD!!!!

The difference is we get screwed at home as well, We can point to half a dozen games this year alone where the refs bad calls changed the outcome and not in our favor, Personally I feel every ref should be reviewed at the end of each year and the bad ones canned and replaced, Process should go on each year and either the bottom 10-20% let go each year or if they fall below a certain standard kicked out, That would stop a lot of the nonsense we keep seeing

It's even worse if it isn't just us, and I don't think it's just us. There are simply too many refs that shouldn't be working this level of play and they are impacting games every week.

Why are you here? Go back to your racist, poorly educated fanbase you f’n clown.

Exactly. It’s not just us. I’ve said that. But I’m obviously most worried about us. There is simply no accountability for these boobs. Every night they screw up comically and are back the night after…

Honest question, do you think the 90’s Bulls were benefited? Do you think Lebron gets more calls than Luka Garza?

We aren’t alone, but I don’t recall really being the recipient of lousy calls against the other team.

Maryland isn’t the 90s Bulls or LeBron.

You seem like a really sharp guy. Lots of high level analysis on these boards.

Damn Garza was good. I recall the game where he was en fuego against us.

Dawg, you troll on a Northwestern message board. You need help.

That does not seem to answer my questions.

Here’s more, do you think your coach is trying to influence the refs when he gets on their faces?

No one is advocating it would make any difference on any given game. Or that there’s a conspiracy going on. Refs are human and incentives, like with every human being, play a part. To me that’s obvious.

 

[its_the_sauce]

Please let us know what his response is

Thanks for the hard hitting analysis. When is Dusty leaving Michigan or was it Brad leaving g the Celtics?

I’m not sure I’m following your line of thinking. Of course refs can impact a game. Coaches work the refs to improve their chances of winning. My point was just that it’s universal, especially in the big ten. Home cooking is an epidemic in this conference.

My point is that the smaller a fish you are the more you get jobbed. In any league, any sport, any country.

It’s amazing how more big euro soccer clubs get away with compared to the minor teams they compete against.

Illini win three straight and Vassarline is feeling primed
