I wouldn't be surprised if kU sends him a mini conference championship trophy every year. There's a reason Kansas doesn't advance in the tournament. It's because they don't get Higgins caking games.

I think Arkansas got a raw deal vs UNC moreso than UK. It was clearly obvious the refs intentions when UNC vs ARKY. They snuck calls in vs UK.

I watched the whole game Sunday, I didn't think they were any shittier than the one's that called our game against NC.
Both shitty- were they the same group of guys?

Ok. You said they were volunteering. Top refs are doing 90-110 games per year. They're not volunteering.
You don't get to be a top ref without first being a beginner, where you are often working a ton of high school and D3 games for maybe gas money. You don't think this kind of thing might dissuade someone from getting into the job?

Ok. Still not what you said.

My main point is that when this kind of stuff happens, it hurts the pool of qualified referees that could maybe help the situation.

You're an Alabama fan.
You probably think the referee is getting off easy without some sort of landscape violence

Kentucky is one of those states where I wonder what went wrong in their history that caused the majority of their people to blow donkey dick.
The others being South Carolina, Florida, and Maryland.

Eh. Higgins is the most well known ref out there. And to some extent, he's cultivated that reputation. I'd guess most refs don't do that.

Holy shite. Kentucky really did get hosed by Higgins.

Higgins is notorious for leading all referees in technical fouls called and, if he had his way as he has arrogantly said, all refs would follow suit.

IDK. I don't know many refs that have a very positive public image. Jamie Luckie, Karl Hess, Penn Wagers, the Pac 12 glasses ref, etc. have a similar reputation to Higgins.
It's already a one-sided PR deal. No one knows good refs' names. Criticism is fair game, but it should stay within the context of the game.

I doubt any other school has this readily available but there is a complete archive of referees from every UK game. John Higgins and Roger Ayers are two current refs that stick out.

This highlights your school's obsession and paranoia with officials more than anything. Makes your in game threads more understandable now. Y'all are constantly assuming every ref is out to get you.

Big Blue History literally has every statistic available in Kentucky basketball history, has nothing to do with paranoia and everything to due with referees being listed on box scores.
