That is BS, I have been officiating sports for the better part of 17 years. I have been in games where officials have decide to target certain players or control tempo of the game. AS officials gain experience the game slows down, the avg colleg officials probably has a bout 10 to 15 years of experience at Div 1 level. How long have u calling
i have read a lot of the posts on this thread. rupp didn't have the team ready; the refs tried to screw us; we played badly, etc. we did win the game, right? a road game against a team with as big a crowd as they will draw this season. this was their big game and we still won, maybe without our best effort. cheer up people and enjoy it. year three for rupp and he has this team pointed toward a winning record, maybe an NIT bid if not more. sounds positive to me, certainly better than anything richard did while here.
Richard:
150-117 record through the 2006-07 season. His first team captured a Sun Belt conference regular season title in 1999 with a 19-9 record and 20 or more games in 2000 (21-8), 2002 (22-10) and 2006 (20-13). The 2002 and 2006 teams advanced to post-season play in the National Invitation Tournament.
So Keith did do quite a few things while he was here. Hopefully Rupp will take the program places Richard didnt but he did to some good things.
I did not say me, I said I have been in games where players have been targeted and seen games where players are targeted and the flow of the game is controlled and I agree it is a disgrace to profession. but it does happen. so u can not say it wil not or won't happen. stick around long enough and u will see it.
No way they could have an accurate attendance count. They don't use a scanning system, and I watched what could have been students flash what might have been i.d.'s and stroll right in. No turnstile gates or clicker counters were used.
Their published numbers were way high. I'd guess more like 2,500 ??
Hate to say it, but sure wish we could see that many for our games at the TAC (for starters, o.c.).
