There were a ton of times where Zeller shoved people out of the way to get the rebound...
This officiating absolutely sucks...

It was a painful game to watch and we were Never going to win but we were not blown out and came very close at Carver. As the experts say: Nobody in the B1G Tournament wants to play the Hawks. Tremendous progress by Fran and the team in three years.....

Delaney is running the Big like a Tijuana Chop Shop, Atomic, and I am pleased that you settled things with him and the Big Ten Network.....
I will type you a transcript of the game as it is being played so you don't miss anything.....

And the B1G has some of the very worst officials (football considerably better); add your own:
Eddie Hightower
Ted Valentine
Jim Burr
Larry Scirotto
Gene Steratore

Ha, you're an "official" with a cool whistle? Comedy...and that automatically makes you an expert? As a son of an "official," the majority of you jokesters don't know squat either.

I know you claim this and have in the past. If true, I am puzzled how you can then post some of the threads you do ripping players and coaches. Sports officials are expected to hold themselves to higher standards, especially as regards the sports they officiate. Can you explain your actions against that backdrop?

Jim delaney is almost like that character in the movie called Running Man
Haven't seen many if any blaming them for the loss, they are saying that they stunk up and favored Indy big time, and if you watched the game you would know that.

What a pile-o-derp. Feel free to link anything I've said that rips players and coaches.

Being an official doesn't make me an expert. All the hard work I put in does. The clinics, the camps, the 200 games per year I work, the rule study, you know, that ****.

The problem with college officiating is the same problem with HS officiating. Once you are "in" its almost a lifetime appointment. There are guys working B10 games that can't even physicially keep up with the game and have no business being there. The same is true for high school games especially the bigger conferences like the Valley. There are crews working games there that should have stopped a decade ago but theg haven't. Because once you are in with an assigner you stay in. The bad thing is it prevents young and talented officials from working up the ranks.
In this part of the state its actually easier to work your way into doing college games than it is 4A high school games because the assigner is always turning over officials and looking for good young officials, where the HS assigner has "his crews" who haven't really changed in ten years.

If your posts here are any indication of your demeanor and approach, you must be a real piece of work on the court.

You're absolutely right. The biggest problem with college officiating is the lack of accountability. The refs who tanked the end of that Kansas/ISU game will probably get nothing more than a phone call saying 'try not to do that again' even though it could possibly have cost ISU a trip to the dance. They should be fired for such a melt down at the end of such an important game.
Also, the physical requirements should be more strict, or at least an age cut off. I don't think it's out of line to suggest that once a person hits 60, they may not be able to keep up with 19 year old D1 athletes anymore.

I agree that if some of the current crop of NCAA referees are passing annual physical fitness tests, the requirements probably need to be higher. Some officials are clearly out of shape and can't keep up. There should also be video tests each year in which referees view actual plays and provide answers to a series of questions based on those plays.
Do not agree on an age cut off, or at least 60. 60 is the new 40 for some folks (seriously), and there are 60-something officials keeping themselves in great physical and mental shape. If they can make the grade otherwise, it would be wrong to deny college basketball their seasoned skills and talents based solely on the number of years they have lived on earth.

I'm an excellent official.

Iowa had 12 at half, Indiana had 9.
Indiana had 17 free throws at half, Iowa had 3 (not sure if they were ALL 1 and 1's, but regardless, the most Iowa could have taken if they made the front ends was 6).

While you're a very talented troll, you're a troll nonetheless. You don't out and out rip on players (Woody), giving you plausible deniability. The Block-o-Meter thread is more passive-aggressive than that.

Arent journalists supposed to excel at critical reading? If you are going to be a writer you are going to have to do better than that. The block-o-meter thread is in no way a rip on Woody. He'll I'd be concerned if for no other reason 1hokeye1 likes my post, that enough would make me realize I'm probably missing something here.
