IU Scott Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, Stlboiler23 said: Mid-range/long 2’s are some of the least efficient shots in basketball. Purdue intentionally tries to make other teams take a lot of them for that reason. According to some computer geeks. Still don't buy all of these analytics saying it is more efficient. Scoring and shooting percentage are lower but this makes the game better LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, BruceDouglas said: So how exactly does this work Big Ten Director of officiating calls all these guys and tells them to do B1G games...differently? And that never leaks out? And in the heat of a game they're going to remember where they are and what calls to make? I think the explanation is simpler, the B1G has lead the country in attendance for many years, it's the crowds and home venues. Refs are human and having 10-15K people screaming at every call affects them. A lot if it is due to the playing style of the top coaches in the league. I still blame this for why the big ten doesn't bget a lot of top recruits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) 1 hour ago, ledies22 said: I agree with this in part. I even is there arent B1G officials and they are subcontractors. The still use the same officials from the same pool. 1 ref is not going to officiate an SEC game on Monday, B1G on Tuesday, ACC Wednesday. The same officials are used, they have these built in pre conceived notions and perceptions that carry over from game to game. The home court does has some impact IDK how much that is though.. But that doesnt explain when Edey goes on the road and gets the same coddling. or XJ being reviewed the other night that was not even close to being needed. I think their are coaches that can work officials better than others. That is wrong about the refs because I see the same officials reffing every night in different parts of the country. The ref that runs with his high stepping Knees I saw him do a game at OSU the next night in the big 12 and later that week he was doing a mountain west game Edited February 1 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) Damn, @ledies22 you got me listening to that podcast again. He gave some interesting general numbers at the end that I might've missed the first time. He said in a typical game there's an average of 140 possessions, usually averaging 6 missed calls per game. Approximately 2 per ref. The conference does send officials tapes of these missed calls. Sometimes, the officials aren't even in the position to see the infraction. Typical there's 6 to 7 camera angles of the missed calls; many times only 1 of those angles will actually capture the bad call. Even so, if they see an official is missing 5 calls in a game (for example), they'll sit down and have a talk with him. If it's a pattern, they'll give them less games the next year. Maybe this is what happened to Scrote. Edited February 1 by tdhoosier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have to guess they don’t see an issue with it since we see the same thing game after game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A take away from the podcast is that, tapes of missed calls will be sent to the officials for their review, and if anything needs to be handled, it will be done-so behind closed doors.

DWB Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Hey IUFLA...how about re-naming this topic "PUke thread"? While I understand that a couple PU guys come here, and one is civil, the other not so much, but they have completely hijacked this thread. Not saying they shouldn't post here, but this is supposed to be a B10 thread, not a PU thread. Can't remember how long it's been since I've seen comments about other B10 schools, or at least more than 1-2. And maybe just for kicks, we should start a "Ref's suck" thread to illustrate all of the horrible calls thru-out the B10. In any case, I guess I'll just ignore this particular thread from now on, because I don't really give a rats ass about PU basketball, and all the debate about Lurch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
