Are we in for the worst refereeing in NCAA tournament history?

Is this a pre-melt thread?

so you didn't watch the video?

That's the beauty of the SEC. Our refs are too incompetent to fix anything.

I think for the most part it evens out over the course of a game.

When you don’t even know the rules every call is the correct call. That is the genius of SEC officiating.

nobody knows the rules. I've seen videos of dudes taking damn near 8 or 9 fricking steps and people try to say "oh no you just don't get it bruh, that's just a eurostep that leads into a gather step then a reverse pivot". Like what? You don't get to just keep adding steps with nifty names attached to them and just keep on going.

You get 2 steps. Anything else is a walk.

Back in the day.

Next, do carrying violations.

I know, I know, Acuff does it too. All guards do. A lot.

It's been getting worse since the mid-80s. Now it's so common place that it's surprising when refs actually call walks or carries. You'd have one called every possession today, if they called them like they did in the 80s.

Players carry all the time, too, but I can't even remember the last time I saw one called. It's like a blue law that's no longer enforced.

After a season of SEC play, tourney reffing will seem incredibly competent.

There’s no rhyme or reason to sec ref incompetence. Sometimes it helps your team, sometimes it hurts your team. They just call or don’t call whatever the hell they want.
