What's this?

It's not you. Bilas just wrote a great article about....


how officiating is ruining college basketball. I don't have the link handy (it requires an ESPN+ account). His key comments:

1. The game is much too rough and does not allow enough freedom of movement - "college basketball looks like hockey"
2. Despite 1 above, fouls this year are being being called at an all time low rate.
3. It's not individual refs, it's an overall trend.
4. Coaches are teaching players to foul because fouls are not being called and it' an advantage to foul.

I think he also said that this is all causing less consistency in calling games.

I think he's exactly on point.
