How bad is B1G refereeing in the conference?
rarely is the question asked: "Is our children learning?"

I can't stand conspiracy talk...it makes me think of ISU fans.
There's a difference between blaming the refs and saying the refs are bad. Go over to CryFan if you want to see people blaming refs...and stay there.
Atomic is a very good poster with a unique style. He is one of those who make HN better and fun to roam around. It is a legitimate question because we have been the victims of some of very poor and questionable calls by particular referees. Last season at Wisconsin, Olaseni was hit hard going to be basket, an obvious foul. No call. Immediately at the other end of the court he was hammered and called for a foul. Fran was righteously indignant and was called for a technical, after the technical a referee walked right into him and threw him out of the game.....The referees seem to love Izzo and Bo Ryan and give them many breaks, game winning breaks. It is always unusual to see Izzo and a referee whispering during a MSU free throw.....One thing our children Is learning is that some referees are very biased in the Big Ten and college basketball in general. They have let their authority corrupt them and are taking over the games. I am tired of a foul called every time down the floor at times. Many referees are fair and call unbiased games and let the teams play in all conferences. One bad apple can spoil the bunch is the opinion many people have of the officials, but not all are worthless.....Jack.....

OK fine. But the thread title still reminds me of that george W bush quote ... so I posted it.
How about them Gators?There's a difference between blaming the refs and saying the refs are bad. Go over to CryFan if you want to see people blaming refs...and stay there.
They may be bad but is there a conspiracy?
In case this is in response to my comment. My comment was a poorly chosen attempt at humor at the expense of cyfans. I don't think there is a conspiracy but refs have become a big part of sports particularly in basketball. Some refs let their personal feelings permeate the calls they make and it's not hidden well at all. If Bo Ryan did the same thing as Fran in the game last year do you really think the results would have been the same? Nobody keeps Bo or Tom Izzo in the coaches box. Ref's are biased. It happens in every walk in society. Just because their job description means they should be fair and unbiased
