I rarely post here any more, though for two decades I was one of the most frequent posters.
Those of you who remember me will remember that I have a lot of criticism for basketball officials.
However, I do not remember ever saying "the officials cost us the game."
That is over.
The officials for this game cost us the game.
There were three of them: one African American male who was fine. One distinguished looking grey haired Caucasian male, who was hopeless and ought to donate his salary to the Paladins. We've seen him a lot. He is not very good, but this may have been his worst. And then there is the chunky pony-tailed Caucasian female, easily the worst of the three.
This may have been an NCAA record for charging calls, especially ones where the defender was not only moving, but was in the arc under the basket. Almost all of them were anti-Paladin. Our pre-season All Socon center fouled out after 7 minutes of play, the final foul being a ridiculous technical called by pony-tail.
Hats off the Chatt. They played well and did not fall out laughing at the officiating.
