Don't think officiating matters?

After that thigh last night, now do you think officiating doesn't matter? Where UW fouls the least out if any team in college hoop, but Duke out shoots them 16-3 from the line in the second half? Where Justise Winslow is out if bounds twice in the last 4 minutes but UW doesn't get the ball either time!

Yes, UW could have played better, but that doesn't stop it from still being garbage that these calls went against us. And given how rigged this state has been the last 4 years for the good guys, I really didn't need to be reminded of that on the basketball court last night , after such a magnificent run.

Time to take out some frustration on both these situations by voting for Justice Bradley and a HELL NO on Amndment 1. Do the same today.

  1. I watched the game on CBS. The announcers at one point said that Coach K had asked the refs to be more active in calling fouls on the Badgers. It didn't sound like a request a coach could make and even more surprisingly have granted.

  2. There's a reason coaches work the refs- because it does make a difference. For the same reason righties always whine about the media, so the media won't call them out when they do screw up, or runs with BS stories because "people are talking about it."
