Make him an offer he can't refuse.How do you get a ref off your
games?
MBob needs to be on the phone at 8 am with the B1G office about that screw job on Newman’s three. Unbelievable.SUCKS!! That is all...
We don't agree on much, but we certainly agree on this.SUCKS!! That is all...
Not only that what better way to screw with someone's head and shooting performance than to call a phantom travel on a step back 3. Newman did not make another shot the rest of the game. Most likely we would have won the game if the 3 wasn't wiped of the board.MBob needs to be on the phone at 8 am with the B1G office about that screw job on Newman’s three. Unbelievable.
Yep as everything else being equal, that was more points left on the floor. For me, I broke the causes of the loss down to 3 things:Not only that what better way to screw with someone's head and shooting performance than to call a phantom travel on a step back 3.

1. Turnovers
2. Bo
3. Everything else
Anyone who thinks Furst won’t play much next year just needs to watch tape of last nights game.Maryland shooting 8-13 from deep in the second half is right up there near the top, too. Some of that was attributable to breakdowns of Purdue's defense, and some of that was the Terps knocking down some big shots. JMHO
Purdue, conversely, was 4-17 for the game with Mason Gillis, Eric Hunter, Jaden Ivey, and Aaron Wheeler a combined 0 for 10.
Wasn’t referring to his offense.Based on what I have seen, Furst is not known as a 3-point shooter. I expect he will add it to his game, for when he is left open, but I don't think he is considered to be there yet.
You know... I've complained about the refs during games because of inconsistencies. If you want to call a crapppy game.........fine.........just do it on both ends.
Bo is just flat out terrible and for whatever reason has it "in" for us and it is old. I very nearly needed a new TV and spilled my beer when he called the "traveling" on Newman. And it clearly got in Newman's head after no less.
I get there is a shortage of refs, but those that are available can't be any worse than Bo. Hell I could drink a keg of beer and go out and call a better game than him.
I've officiated many games. It can be fun, AND it can be quite a challenge. I'm not sure I'd like to do it on the B1G stage.
The worst thing about Bo is, he has zero remorse about screwing up games. None. I'm not making that up. IMHO, that's really the worst kind of personality in that type of profession.
Did you do high school basketball games? If so that’s tough. Many years ago, I officiated junior varsity basketball for a year. I was terrible so gave it up. Trying to call the game from the floor was hard to see for me. When watching the game from the bleachers, it’s so easy to see the violations and fouls. Let me call the game from the scorers table.I've officiated many games. It can be fun, AND it can be quite a challenge. I'm not sure I'd like to do it on the B1G stage.

When Heller was still with us, I recall several occasions where he went into a litany of background items concerning Bo and the apparent "conflicts" in a way that only Heller could do it the proper justice. At times it was entertaining, although probably not for Heller, himself.
Wasn't Bo the ref constantly blowing his whistle against us in that very infamous MSG game vs Blake Griffin?
Ed Corbett, Tim Higgins, and Michael Stephens (Big East), Schnelk.
Purdue 4-5 from the line; Oklahoma 33-46.
In addition to the foul disparity, Painter had a beef over Stephens' call on E'Twaun Moore for an intentional foul late in OT - that was right after an inadvertent whistle gave Oklahoma a possession with Purdue down one.
Stephens was rumored to be involved in some shady stuff with World Wide Wes at one point some years back.I
will
never
forget
that
game.
Un-flippin'-believable.
I couldn't believe a professional crew could call a game like that.
I still can't.
Dwayne Stephens at Breslin, 1990.What are your top Boiler-screw jobs by refs all-time?
1. The Blake Griffin game. BS from start to finish. No way was Purdue going to be allowed to win that one. Was watching it in a bar and it made a guy near me mad enough to smash a table of drinks and scream, "ITS FING FIXED"
2. OPI called on Payne Durham in the Minn football game this year.
3. That Penn State FB game from the Tiller years with the clock, etc.
Honorable mention: Tony Jones fouled in NCAA tourney game against Texas. I believe that's who it was but I was just a young kid. Swearing was forbade growing up but Dad sure dropped a monster F -bomb during that one.
Except when there is mountains of evidence to show it. You know there is more to bad officiating than just fouls right? Like one specific ref calling a travel on a 3 point shot.Saying the refs are against Purdue is a looser mentality and really is pretty silly.
Eh.... I was at that game and IMO Georgia just had more talent... NFL guys all over the place.The bowl game with Georgia. Purdue got out to a 25-3 lead IIRC and the refs did everything they could to help Georgia get back in the game to make it “more entertaining”. Georgia won 28-25.
Actually it's pretty tight when Boroski is involved.Saying the refs are against Purdue is a looser mentality and really is pretty silly.
I recently reviewed the Tony Jones play several times. Many (including Keady) thought it was goal tending. The replay shows it was a clean block. No foul, no goal tending, just a dang good defensive play. I agree with you on the other games.What are your top Boiler-screw jobs by refs all-time?

"Professional" being used REAL loosely...I

We can ignore the elephant in the room if we want to, but, Purdue left points on the field...or, outside of the goal posts at least.Eh.... I was at that game and IMO Georgia just had more talent... NFL guys all over the place.
you had to detail this... literally made my blood pressure rise just remembering. I fumed for a couple of days about that game.Ed Corbett, Tim Higgins, and Michael Stephens (Big East), Schnelk.

The jim burr game against o$u, one of the last conference games of the baby boilers. that game was 1.b. to the oklahoma game imo. complete jobbing.What are your top Boiler-screw jobs by refs all-time?

No one is using it as an excuse, but a factor.
