EDIT: Duke fan? Nevermind. Complaining about calls on Winslow is insane after last night. He should have fouled out twice. Almost like the UK fans saying we had it coming after the shot clock violation as if they didn't get 5 other calls the rest of the way.
OOB misses are inexcusable. There is an official placed RIGHT on the line whose sole responsibility is to watch that line and the contact under the hoop. And when someone has the ball dribbling down the line thats essentially his only responsibility.
The ref being out of position by a foot can influence what he sees. It's not like half of Winslow's foot was on the line during that play. It's a call that probably gets missed more than once every game and your team benefitted from it once this year as well. You can talk all you want about how it didn't matter, because that game didn't impact anything, but that doesn't change it.
There is a human element to officiating and unless you want all plays reviewable at all times, that's not going to change. The ref missed a call. It happens. It also happened a dozen other times last night.
The officiating evened out, like it always does. If you think the first half was fine, I'm not sure what to tell you.
The baseline is a LOT different from the sideline. I know this sounds weird but thats just how officials are positioned. The baseline is used as a fixed line and the sidelines you are generally running up and down which makes things a lot more difficult. When you are on the baseline you are in a fixed position looking down the baseline. They aren't comparable.
And if you think the officiating evened out I'll just toss you on ignore as I don't think much of your opinion on basketball.
Might as well toss me on ignore, then.
Was a threat to ignore me supposed to change my opinion or something?
