After watching some of the NCAA tourney...

My .02 is get rid of continuation and T up all complaining at refs by players (yes, complain at, not to). #1 would do wonders in the continuity department. Some games are unbearable with all the free throw stoppages.
I'd also like to see the back door get more push. We need more back door action. Some of these guys can really hit the back door hard, but must be told it's a no entry zone. I guess they like the traditional front from the mid-post, and backdoor just gets too invasive when you prefer banging away straight up over sneaking in behind a guy's defense.

Clark Kellogg was talking about ATM players a lot. I guess this explains it.
Wait. What the **** are you guys exactly talking about?
Basketball of course. The Princeton offense. Cutting backdoor for a layup. Sometimes, it takes a screen to get there, aka The Princeton Rub.

I missed that one I guess. I heard about it today and it sounded like it was a bad call. But the Butler game I felt both calls were correct. In the game with the no call at the end it looked like a clean block. In the NBA the refs call the Phantom call if it's a big name player and neither of those calls in the Butler-Pitt game get called. If it's a foul it's a foul. The Pitt player is a moran for fouling in that situation. Or for even getting near him in a tie game with seconds left and the guy on the wrong end of the floor.
I just watched around the horn and it does appear that 5 second call was BS.

They also let prejudice and superstar bias effect the games.

Seriously, WTF was NC player (Harrsion Barnes? I believe?) thinking during the remaining time in the U-Dub NC game? Reaching for a ball clearly going out of bounds and then goal-tending the last shot (yeah, replay showed it was a 2 but he didn't know that at the time). And nice officiating, hosing Wash out of about a seconds worth of time on the aforementioned inbounds play.

YB, I agree with the idea of refs not deciding the game on ticky-tack fouls at the last second, but I thought both of those fouls were so obvious, the refs had to call it, and once they called the first, they had to call the second.
I looked up some quotes and this guy is a machine. Sorry, YB, but you're no longer #1 in my book.
I like the way Princeton Rub sounds. Nice ring to it.
**Edit** Damn it. I googled it at work. I'm in deep trouble, but the good news is it put you back on top (of Kellogg).

he was trying to inflate his rebounding stats.
