Doug Sirmens is crooked

When I checked the replay of the game I realized there was blood on the floor, I’m guessing that’s why it actually got stopped.

I thought giving attention to the blood on the floor came much after play had been stopped for the injury.

We play an aggressive style of defense to make up for offensive talent. It's won us a lot of games. But our style draws fouls from the refs. So you put some of our results in the hands of objective humans instead of made baskets. It's just where we are as a program and hopefully we are more athletic in the future and won't rely on the refs to overlook or miss our fouls.

Or call them reflexively when a guy stupidly turns into you and you easily strip the ball from his hands. Terrible move by the offensive player (people on here would ***** about it if BRE did it for sure), then easy take away, and reflexive, wrong call by the official.

You are right to say we play an aggressive form of defense and we probably foul more than most teams. But, that doesn't mean the officials get to be flat out wrong or inconsistent and not get talked about.

I'm actually fine with stopping the game for injuries immediately but you have to do it all the time or not at all.

It looked like he was bleeding that whole time when I watched it back on the replay.

Sirmons spent an entire timeout yelling at TJ.

I’m sure he was impartial though.

Kenpom actually has him as their second best ref

Injury status has nothing to do with attitude…that’s what’s being criticized here.

His play was a reflection of his attitude, the missed shots, the FTs, the unnecessary fouls.

Agree, Grill has to be mentally tougher than what he was Saturday night, but his third and fourth fouls were phantom calls and led to his funk. Not sure which ref called those two.

For sure- they were terrible calls…but, he’s a veteran player and he’s gotta be able to play through it. He’s more mentally tough than what he showed Saturday and it hurt our team.

He’ll bounce back and this team will iron out the kinks and be ready for March.
