Referee Rant

[BoilerFan4Life]

I don't understand the following double standard that occurred in the final 10 seconds.

1) Vince Edwards calls a timeout and the game clock stops with 6.5 seconds left. Upon further replay review, you can see Vince call the timeout with 7.0 seconds left, but the official doesn't call the timeout until 6.5 seconds (thus the correct time on the clock was 6.5 seconds).

2) Isaac Haas travels and the game clock stops with 0.0 seconds left. Upon further review, you can see Isaac Haas travel with 0.5 seconds left, but the official doesn't make the call until 0.0 seconds left (thus the correct time of the clock should have been 0.0 seconds).

I don't see how the officials call something one way and then reverse their logic 6.5 seconds later. These weren't real time on-court calls. These were both instances where officials were huddled up together reviewing the sequence on a replay monitor.

You're exactly right.

The officials messed that up, plain-and-simple.

Mugging inside, fake fouls or touch fouls on drives, continuation baskets, a few moving screens, but they could have swallowed the whistle again against Purdue on Carsen's drive and they made a call. I'm not sure I doun't want to go back to two refs so the lines of demarcation on the court are more clear. Carsen goes for a steal in front of Maryland bench with a ref right THERE and no call, but the ref completely on the other side runs completely across to court just to ensure he is the man with the biggest whistle.

As a Purdue fan, I agree. The officials are always against us.

P.S. We won.

It's the Big Ten; they have a "reputation" to uphold. Have seen it for 40+ years...gone both ways, although it seems like the pendulum hasn't swung back as much in recent seasons....but that could be an age thing, too.

One good thing is this should be a very teachable "moment" game for CMP with Isaac Haas. I would just about absolutely guarantee he won't have a technical foul like that again or not know what to do and have a complete brain-lapse at the end of a game.

I have to be honest.....they did not have their best games today. I really felt like Mello got every call...even the stupid "pez dispenser head" being thrown back garbage that LeBron pulls. That stuff just infuriates me to no end.

Pez dispenser head....I am stealing that!

I find that offensive to the Pez dispenser.

You are right that he got those calls, but that is exactly when UM's offensive mojo started falling apart. All that jazz got old Melo caught up in being "the man", and he stopped doing that high post pass to his big guys. Those guys spent much of the end-of-game standing around watching him play act. Sometimes things come around that should.

They could have not made the foul call - but I went on a Maryland blog that had over 100 comments on the game - 0 of them complained about the foul call.

For that to happen, it had to be an obvious foul.

There are certainly missed calls that happen - especially in a game where refs are always on the move.

Absolutely could have not made the call like a few muggings, but they did and so maybe it was obvious unlike some other obvious calls they didn't make and some obvious no calls they made. Seriously, I know what you are saying

Well, there were multiple fouls on the play which certainly improves the chances of one being called!

Haas got shoved out of the way by Dodd, literally pushing him away.

Haas has improved his FTs, but I'm glad Edwards was the one who got the foul....

But.....I've got "hand."
