Jim Burr no call

  • I watch online so my pic isn't the greatest. But there was one play where it looked like Miss rebounded ran around a UK guy and stepped out of bounds under the basket starting the break and it was missed.

    Officiating is clearly getting worse every year.

    I hate the advantage/disadvantage thinking because then refs are not following what's suppose to be called a foul or violation. When I ref, I disregard situation and focus on applying the rules stated in the handbook. If it's a foul/violation, then I call it. Anyway, Jim Burr has been old, fat, and slow for years. I'm not sure why he's still allowed to ref.

    I agree that calls should be made without regard to situation (time, score, etc) but as I understand the concept of advantage/disadvantage, fouls and/or violations are ignore unless they are egregious or they give one player a decided advantage (hence the fact that traveling is seldom called on the perimeter unless a guy gains an advantage while starting a drive while it culd be called dozens of times every game because guys almost always travel after reeiving a pass).

    As for fouls, the game is physical and a foul could be called on almost every play. The advantage/disadvantage concept, when enforced consistently, allows for game flow to develop and for players to adjust to th way the game is being called. But to call everything that is techically a foul would so disrupt the game flow that it would become unwatchable -- like the first half of the Ole Miss game (although the inconsistency of the officials was a problem as well).
