And it wasnt only him, it was the whole crew...This is the first game that ive seen in the mcdermott era that the team played with heart and conviction..and the refs seemed to have it in for us...2 players were down with injuries(Boozer was hit hard than McCoy in the Title game) and theres no foul on boozer being tackled/he had to be helped off the court after 5 minutes....Everytime that ISU had a chance to run..theres a ticky-tack foul which coincidentally leads to a longhorn 3 point play...I usually don't complain about the refs but these were HORRIBLE...Pittman pitched camp in the lane/goaltended 2x's, James just held on to brackins like a clingy dog...Balbay just got away with soo much..he steps out of bounds when he gets a loose ball..ref is in great position to make the call..do they ?..Absolutely not! Its almost like the refs were paid by the Big 12 so that they could have a number 1 team for more than 1 week...
He looks like this. And is sometimes known for his "over dramatic" foul calling actions.

Got it! I dont think he did that bad, the other two were flat out bad on both sides of the ball.
The real problem with Ed is that more times than not he makes sure that he has an impact on the game. He's always there to make a big call when most would make a non call. The demonstrative calls are just part of the issues with him. Yes today he was good, but fans all around the nation seem to hate the guy.
Barely touched?!?!?!?!....He was tackled when he stopped and planted his leg...

This. It seems like Ed try's to be in the spot light more than the players. Don't know the correct word/name but show hog or media ***** ??? Wants to be in the spot light.
You should watch that play over again, he was fouled twice on the play by the same guy.
I disagree.. Boozer went down the lane. The guy barely brushed against him then Boozer jumped, didn't look like much if any contact. Then he came down awkwardly.
LOL! That is great!You probably know him better from his role in star wars (courtesy GIS):
I don't know about you but I don't watch basketball for the dramatic foul calls. The best referees are the ones that aren't noticed.
At the game - so I didn't get to see replays and such. But I thought the game was pretty poorly officiated overall, but Ed wasn't the guilty party.
Very, very physical and alot of missed stuff early. Then rather ticky tacky late. That drives me nuts when refs loose consistency.
Wasn't the reason we lost by any stretch, but a questionable job, IMO.

There were only a few calls that were questionable. There were some very close to goal tending earily and a few foul calls, but you will get that.
Yes there were good calls, but plenty terrible calls.
Boozer got ******* tackled!!!
Missed goaltending calls.
