That intentional foul call was the worst #!*#!* call Ive ever seen!

[STLBrave84]

I felt those refs had it in their minds who won that game before it even started... and that intentional foul with 22 seconds left confimed those feelings. What foul with 22 seconds left, in a college basketball game, being as close as this one was, ISN'T AN INTENTIONAL FOUL?!?!?!?!?!?! Isn't our aim in that situation TO FOUL???? Horrible.

Every foul under 35 sec. is intentional! However, it is seldom , if ever called.,
However, this is the 2nd time it has happened to Bradley within the last year!
Why is it, every time Dave Draucker is on the court TERRIBLE things happen to Bradley!?.

Do we stay in the misery valley conference? Intentional fouls go against us at home and on the road. Fouls are called on us at home without exception when the crowd {finally} gets involved. Every year. Same story. There are so many better places to go where these kinds of things will not happen! Get out while the getting is good.

yes the conference is against BU at home and away every year.....it's a big conspiracy....

I am a huge Bradley fan and a recent graduate but every time I come on here after a loss the whining about the refs is embarassing. We choked away a double digit lead in the second half and that really didn't have much to do with officiating. Try to talk about something we can control like not leaving shooters wide open or attacking the basket and getting to the line.

Any way I could see this foul that apparently was so bad some officials should be castrated for it???

sorry I had to... but really... anyway I could see this?

Unfortunately not a phantom intentional foul that gives us a few free throws and the ball back.

still there was bad calls throughout...yes that was the biggest one.....but if we go 8 min without a bucket we hurt ourselves as much as anyone

Big Bish and Les are not happy with the officiating, and that is the greatest understatement of my life.

What did they say?

I was watching on TV and it happened so fast I didn't really see it either

This is a reflection on the Valley. MVC can have good players, good coaches but with terrible refs the MVC puts out an average product! We'll send in the tape to the MVC office and nothing will be done.

Does anyone know what the process is for reviewing officiating in this league. I bet there is a peer review that represents the overall conclusion of the review. I'm disgusted by the overall quality of the refs and the product that the Valley is allowing the refs to build. We should consider an other league that considers reffing an important part of their overall product.

Imagine a hotel room with great views and a killer bed but with a terrible bathroom you would percieve the hotel as not that good.

So big Bish wasn't happy? I'm sure Valley officials care if he's happy or not

I don't think the refs "lost" this game for Bradley. BU didn't make a field goal for 8 minutes or whatever. That's what got us. On the other hand, that ref DID decide the game when it was still a game Bradley could have won (unlikely, but possible)

Intentional foul?

NCAA does not do alot of reviewing or sanctioning of Refs.

The NCAA needs to look at this tape and put this crew under scrutiny.

Games are to be decided by the players not the officials, this official over steped his authority.

I think Jim Bain is still head of the officials and has been for awhile I think...

Maybe we need someone new there.

Again, I agree. But as all of us know, good officiating is when they go unnoticed. It seems the MVC has referees that want to be a part of the action, and god willing, they seem to achieve this across the board.

The flagrant foul call helped determine the ending and was a horrible call. Other than that call it was pretty even, though there were many really bad calls.
