BGleas Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Big Ten officiating at its finest. And some say refs don't influence the outcome of games? These plays are with 1-2 refs literally standing right there watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These plays are with 1-2 refs literally standing right there watching. Ever since the Tim Donaghy gambling scandal in the NBA, I’ve always wondered if this was more of a problem or just an isolated incident in all sports. Sometimes I watch these games and that’s the first thing I think of when trying to figure out why a game is being officiated the way it is. You just never know how an individual thinks or acts behind closed doors and temptation can be the greed of all greeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These plays are with 1-2 refs literally standing right there watching. The first one, while clearly a travel, was at least a close play. The other two are plays you would think an official would lose his job over. I'm sure no one will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Just catching up on the day. So Wisconsin fired their S/D guy because he said some racist things in front of mens basketball players last week? Might be the reason Kobe King decided to check out and might be more of a reason for him to get an immediate transfer and eligible for playing time right?

There's no way it's isolated. Whenever there's millions or billions of dollars involved, there's going to be corruption of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the free throw for the win. Very lucky for UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly never found the kind of offensive talent that Huggins did. And Mick has that abrasive personality/coaching style. I think it got old and, let's face it, he's not Huggins. I don't believe he will succeed at UCLA with his style. It's ugly basketball. Maybe the UCLA name will help his recruiting, but I just don't see any final four waiting for him there. But we'll see. Just one old guy's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
