I’m understanding why a road win is so hard in basketball. The schools hire who they want that will allow them to play the way they want. Tonight UcheaT hired officials that won’t blow the whistle.
Its time for basketball officials to be treated like the football officials. Under the auspices of a league and having a responsibility to a league. And able to be punished by a league when they suck.

No shame in that loss. Thought it would be a loss before tip off and watching the officiating that was actually a win. Refs effectively neutralized our best player on both offense and defense and could never get rim game going because we could rarely get that far before getting shoved or pulled to the ground or off the court. Takes pressure off being undefeated now.

Let's get that misconception out of the way. No team hires the refs for a particular game. The officials association assigns ref, according to availability, seniority, etc. The refs contract is with the conference. A couple of years ago, our head of basketball officials explained that he basically supervised nothing. Even if one got blackballed by a school, his friends would just get even - and you'd eventually run out of officials...

They do not hold them accountable in football.

Did the crew that reffed the Alabama/UT football game work again? I believe they did, in fact, the very next week.

There is ZERO accountability for referees in the SEC.
