14 fouls called in less than 6 mins????

Refs need better training, better pay & full time status.... need to make the profession attractive to new people. NCAA has the money.

Will probably never happen... but something needs to be done to improve the quality of the calls..... and therefore the quality and watchability and of the games.

They are being trained to call the games the way the higher-ups want the game called. That's where the problem lies.

If Seton Hall closed out any game like that this board would be all over Willard and his lacking an offensive plan.

Totally. Glad to see other teams struggle to adjust. UNC seemed to have no game plan in 2nd half.

Reminded me of Gonzaga-West Virginia in which I believe there were even more fouls called.

I recall several times during the game when either myself or my wife said out loud, "where was the foul on that one?" Raf said "nickel dime" a few times if I recall correctly.

Horrible game to watch. Flagrant one call was bad. Refs making this game unwatchable.

As a buddy of mine said, if you have to go to the replay to find a flagrant, there is no flagrant.

During the semi-final the Gonzaga center was smacked in the face and poked in the eye by an opponent. He missed a huge chunk of the first half because he couldn't see.

No flagrant. And no foul was called.

Last night the same player Gonzaga center does about 20 percent of what happened to him the previous night and he's called for a flagrant.

Moreover, it's ridiculous to watch in super-slow motion from multiple angles because it completely distorts what happened. If your hand was on this throat for one second because you grazed the guy, it looks like 3-4 seconds when you slow it down.

They are being trained to call the games the way the higher-ups want the game called. That's where the problem lies.

But there's no consistency... that is the real problem.

Totally true.
