High Knees Referee Gets Collins

Nope. I just watched the video. UW was dribbling the ball up the floor and had just crossed half court when the first T got called. Remember that we were wearing white uniforms on the road for this one.
Thanks. I thought it was when he had the ball but I did not rewatch. Normally after FTs possession goes the other way but after tech it is two and the ball. 6 pts ended up scored before we got the ball back. End result it was 4 points more than they would have scored but 6 pts on possession
 
And do you attribute that to

a) our style of play
b) some sort of mass ref bias against Northwestern
c) some sort of mass ref bias against our players
d) some sort of mass ref bias against our coaches
e) widespread bribing of the referees by other schools or gamblers
f) bad luck
g) the physical limitations of our players to prevent them from fouling
h) other
More like a combination. Maybe it is long term reputation assuming we aren't as good as we have become, A bad call against us doesnt carry the same recognition by the league that other programs do, Maybe even we get more games with the bad refs than other teams.

Reality is we likely have a lot less margin for error than other programs because even though we have gotten substantially better and more competitive than we were in the past, we are still on the short end talent wise and a bad call or series of them are much harder to overcome
