SEC refs

[o_dawgnabit]

Does the SEC handle their basketball refs like the football ones? Or are they managed by the NCAA?

Their is some noise about a known LSU fan who was a ref for the LSU- UT game. He called 29 calls on Tennessee. That is more than either of the other officials made total against both teams. Seth Greenberg was on Barrett’s show breaking it down

Sankey needs to fix this in all sports. This is embarrassing. We are a power 5 conference with bush league officiating.

It’s inexcusable for that to happen.

I wonder if he would keep count of the fouls or bad calls that Helmet Head makes against us this Sunday at USCe. Asking for a friend.

Basketball refs do multiple conferences. There’s no designated SEC refs to my knowledge

This is correct. Ref I know had a son at an SEC school and was not allowed to ref the games of that school.

The consortium the SEC belongs to is the SEC, American Athletic Conference, Sunbelt, and Atlantic Sun conferences. The SEC's Coordinator of Basketball Officiating is also the Coordinator of Officiating for the consortium.

Of course it's called "The Consortium."

The ref says the photo was taken several years ago when he was in Italy on vacation and was shocked to come across a shirt with an SEC school logo, so he took a photo to show his friends. Don't know whether that is true or not, but the "chico/chica" sign hanging from the ceiling certainly suggests Italy. I watched that LSU-Tennessee game and thought the officials did a pretty good job, although they went to the scorer's table to review way too many times.

He must be friends with Tim.

There's also pics of him and his dad at LSU games according to Nashville radio.

edited to add:
I haven't seen any of those pictures personally

Tennessee won every statistical category in the game, but LSU shot 15 more free throws to win the game by two in OT. (On a call made by this ref 80 feet from the basket with .6 seconds left.) pic.twitter.com/xYQsEANO1d— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) February 25, 2019

Apparently its no issue for Alabama's football games so why should it be an issue for LSU's basketball games?? Maybe we should change the name from the SEC to the Good Ol' Boy conference?

Clay Travis can ***** all he wants, but that foul at the end of overtime was a definite foul. Williams crashed into the guy and caused him to lose his dribble. If it’s a foul, it’s a foul, no matter the time or location on the court.

What calls that he made were incorrect? I watched the game and didn't see anything that was wildly controversial at all.

The refs totally ruined the flow of the game in the last 2min plus OT because they went to the monitor probably 7 times, but whistles were blown at appropriate times and I didn't see whistles swallowed either.


The dumbest review was when UT was called for a blocking foul and the refs went to the monitor to review if the UT player was in the restricted area. IT DIDN'T 17ING MATTER. The player had been called for a foul, whether he was inside or outside the area didnt matter.
The lead announcer even pushed back on the ref that explained the ruling because it didn't make sense.

 

[patdog]

I saw someone post that LSU is 15th in the country in free throws attempted and Tennessee is about 150th. You'd expect there would be significant free throw discrepancy when those two teams play. And I don't care if the foul happened 80 feet from the basket with less than a second to play. If it's a clear foul, the official has to call it.

The first thing I thought of when the refs made that call on UT was that we would have a women's basketball national title if they had called almost the same foul against Notre Dame when they ran into Morgan William at the end...................sigh.

That ref had money in the game and you can’t convince me otherwise

 

[mstateglfr]

Then he sure did wait until the literal last second to ensure he wouldn't lose thst money.
Pretty dumb to wait until the last live play of the game to sway the game his way.

Granada is in Spain.

I typed SEC Women's Basketball Official into the Google...

This was the first image hit, no exaggeration.

All I can say is



Wait until Sunday folks.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

It's a bad look for sure, but Clay Travis is being who he is. Annoying. It really does seem like the guy was just surprised to see an LSU shirt in Italy. But don't let that stop Clay from drawing a conclusion off one piece of the full story and unleashing his mindless followers to spread the gospel of Clay.

I would probably be mad if it were MSU on the other end of it, but the last play was a clear foul and I strongly dislike Tennessee and Clay Travis.

Every time I hear that song or even hear it mentioned, I immediately think of this:

And you can’t drive from there to Duck Hill.

Edit to add: I’d go back to Granada just to have tapas and beer at a bar I went to while in the city last year. So Good.
