No review on the play either. I don't really think there is any real conspiracy out there, but incompetence - yes. How do all three officials fail to call for a review here?
About as bad as John Higgins missing the ball go off the guide wire during the ISU game in Norman. Hard to understand how three officials miss a call like that.
Okay, now maybe I believe there is conspiracy
Incompetence is almost always the answer. Everyone always thinks there is a conspiracy against their team or in favor of the opponent. Just like on this board -- after days of talking about the FT numbers, there was nary a mention of if after Saturday's game. I wonder if that's because we were the ones on the good side of that column? Even last night, as much as people complain about KU getting every break, the refs missed the fact that the KSU player was out of bounds while touching the ball with a second or two left in OT.
I think KU certainly gets a VERY favorable whistle, especially at home. Other than our annual game there, I can think of maybe two games in the last decade where I felt we were the victim of truly awful, one-sided officiating, and even then, I thought the refs just sucked (as opposed to making a decision to screw a team coached by the nicest man in college basketball).
so the lack of holding calls against OU and texas opponents was also just conspiracy?
it is not being paranoid is they are actually out to get you

I've been out of town for a few days and haven't visited this site and the first thing I read is a conspiracy theory about refs being out to get us. Hilarious.
Again, football and basketball are different because football refs actually work for the conference and basketball refs don't. And I don't watch enough Texas football to know if they got jobbed. As for OU, as bad as our defense is, opponents probably don't feel the need to hold.
But people griped about officiating on this board long before we made the SEC announcement, and fans of other teams also think they are getting screwed. It's the nature of being a fan, I guess, but when people complain about dozens of calls a game, it loses all credibility.
basketball refs work a region so while they are not only big 12 refs the same group refs basically all the games ..

Don't think that's a dirty play. I think Grill is trying to box out and is a bit late.. He fouled the guy/off balanced and he hit hard. Move on.. Dirty play nah.. missed call yes.
sure looked intentional
I would think it would be a flagrant 1 at least. I think it is a text book call, would love to hear what a college official would say about it.
