Refs

Nick continued to get hacked in the lane all during that last ten minutes. The refs just swallowed their whistles for the blue side.

They didn’t call post hacks the whole game. They did call grabs on movement toward the basket.

We're a school with a a lot of media focus/connections, and we have some analytical types as well. Seems that the only way to solve this would be to create some uncomfortable visibility that impugns the league: E.g. Could be that someone does the math, correlates bad calls like these to betting markets, then tells the story through a well-produced 60 second film that gets amplified through our alumni in media and shared on YouTube/etc. Key is that it not 'officially' come from the university. I know some will argue that this will make things worse - but the reality is that it's not going to get better unless and until we try something different. The only way this can happen is through some enterprise and effort from fans to tell the story.

Again, this is an outdated view of basketball. You’re welcome to it, but it willfully neglects inflection points that impacted the game

All I'm saying is you can't control officiating. You can control the other stuff. We all know that was a bad no-call at the end. We played 29 pretty good minutes last night and we got our butts kicked in the other 11. That left us in a spot where we needed every single thing to go right in the last 3 minutes, which includes officials not making a bad call. I don't think that's outdated, that's just reality.

It’s actually a pattern of bad calls, again and again, in our direction throughout the game and impacting multiple games. It’s not just 1 bad call. We have to play so much better than the other team, often with a key player literally getting kicked out of the game for an insane technical foul. Or, taking game tying points off the board. Or keeping the whistle in your pocket when the Big Ten’s scoring leader is hacked to the floor.
