How dare you not be as perfect as you expect the officials to be!! <BR/><BR/>To say "It's been mentioned and written by numerous beat writers for schools in the league" means nothing. What does a beat writer no about officiating a basketball game. Nothing!!! That being said, I am not saying that they are always right, after all, they ARE Human.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-28109594447118991162008-01-26T15:36:00.000-05:002008-01-26T15:36:00.000-05:00We need more 49er games on TV.We need more 49er games on TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-6631233185170416072008-01-24T20:11:00.000-05:002008-01-24T20:11:00.000-05:00excellent. then something positive could come of...excellent. then something positive could come of this, and it would be worth itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-90017745412898589542008-01-24T17:50:00.000-05:002008-01-24T17:50:00.000-05:00Correction, it was not Jim Satalin, he was at St. ...Correction, it was not Jim Satalin, he was at St. Joe's/UMass.

Unless you're playing in any of the power conferences, and even then it's suspect, or the NBA, it will always be lacking. Plus that's the nature of officiating. They can't get everything right everytime, and as a fan quite often things are a bit skewed from that vantage point. That situation is inexcusable though, as for the state of officiating...par for the course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-90444714025961353012008-01-24T10:39:00.000-05:002008-01-24T10:39:00.000-05:00I have seen high school and rec games better offic...I have seen high school and rec games better officiated than A-10 games.

Most of them have such ego's that that have to control the outcome of certain plays. If all the coaches and AD's in the conference got together and sent game tapes to the league office, showing some of the crap these guys call or DONT'T call, maybe it would make a difference !!!
