CRM and refs

[79 Bull]

First off, I am not a darksider or in the fire CRM camp or whatever, but.....

I noticed tonight that CRM gets zero respect from the refs.  Like most coaches, when he feels strongly about a bad call or a no call, he will yell at the ref to come over and chat.  Every time this happened tonight, the refs just ran by him shaking their heads as if to say "we don't owe you the time of day".  Every time Wainwright would do the same thing, a ref ran over and gave him a full explanation (and usually followed up with a make up call).  I have to believe if we had a Huggins or whoever else with somewhat of a name on the bench, they would get that respect.

That may be true...

I don't know.  But I do know from attending every home game for years that they at least stopped by to tell Seth to blow it out his arse.

It's a "South Florida" disrespect moreso than an RMc disrespect.  Seth never got the calls, never got the breaks, and only got some phony BS from the refs.

Refs in general, love the winners.  Like fans, when you win they're on your side too.

Idiot.  You didn't even read his post.

[Guest Ari_Hinkelberger]

Yeah I did.

he talked about Mac not getting any respect on calls.

Read the whole thing.

Idiot?

<shh... I thinking he was saying the refs don't (even) respect RMc - to your type (and that is why he claimed no allegiance to your ilk) that WOULD BE A KNOCK ON RMC!!!  Don't you see it?  Dense.  shhh>

alright, that's it, I missed the previews...have fun boys...gotta go catch the movie...

I would have to agree. I think most of the refs do not respect us. I'm not saying that the refs cost us the game last night, but they played their part. They may have called fouls on both ends, but the timing of the calls were what got me. Most of the calls agaist USF were when we were on a roll, and most of the calls agaist DePaul were when we were in a down swing. Example: Gransberry gets the long pass and gets the layup and intentionally pushed down, NO CALL because we were making a comeback. Bozeban tackled in the lane, gets a call because we were already down 8 or so points.  The refs clearly shifted the momentum of the game in DePauls favor.

And I don't dispute that...saw it for many years.  Watch Seth lose a lot of hair over the Refs.  I cajoled the refs all game they were so bad.  Even at my last Bulls home game (Villanova, last year) they were poor.  They simply play it safe and are sure not to take a game away from a better program.  USF has had to work against the Refs for over a decade.

Agree with Bulliever.  Program has gotten no respect from the officials as long as I have been a Bulls fan/became a stu.  That will be twenty yrs in August.  Last nite was no different.  Depaul didn't need it but they definitely got some questionable calls.
