What was Huggins mad about? I was at the game and I couldn't tell.
P.S. It was a unique privilege and pleasure to see him get tossed.

Refs were terrible both ways
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
Incompetent refs, and Tom Eades is there?
You don't say...

Biggest issues I continually see:
Ref that is by scorers table calls a foul on action around the rim that 2 others that are closer don't.
Ticky tack hand fouls when someone is driving are incredibly inconsistent.
And teams getting to huddle up during non timeout time. We were supposed to be shooting a FTs, a WV guy fouls out, and WV huddled up by the scorers table and refs let them get away with it. Come on, hurry the game up.

Edit: it is 15 seconds. I was WAY wrong.
Coaches have 1 minute to make a substitution after a player fouls out. Eades, for once, did a nice job of getting them over to the line once time was up.

What was up with the guy blowing the horn multiple times while Wigginton was shooting free throws?
I feel like on these flagrant fouls they are just following the letter of the law and not even considering intent at all. Did Babb's elbow maybe touch the WV player.... sure.... maybe? But the WV player was coming at him too, and there obviously was no intent there at all.
I look at it like the play in the Alamo Bowl that got Enyl tossed. Just ridiculous. Did their helmets maybe barely touch as Enyl was landing on Minshew..... yes. So by rule that's targeting then? C'mon. We have to use some common sense here don't we? It's ruining both football and basketball.

They gave him the ball before the time out was over. The horn operator was correct in notifying them that, and they should have (likely) awarded a replacement FT. Then the officials failed to explain all that.
OK.
Seems like in general free throw time, teams on both sides are just given too much huddle time.
It's not a minute. It's 15 seconds.
Ref reports the foul. Horn sounds signalling 5th foul on the player. Table crew starts a timer. 15 seconds later, second horn and we play on.
The fact that Tom Eades is still even allowed to officiate NCAA basketball tells you all you need to know about the NCAA.
The first technical triggered the under-4 media timeout. He got the second one during the timeout. The timeout hadn't concluded (neither a first horn nor second horn) when Darron George decided we were just going to start playing again.
Tom Eades and a West Virginia basketball game...a recipe for disaster.
That’s the soft headed blanket type rule designed to take the heat off the crew for making a judgement call. By design, it takes the judgement out, which is stupid.
I don’t know what everyone is complaining about Tom Eades great to watch. Elite.
