Evident in our games that a lot of fouls are not being called. Basing this on the postgame box scores and the lower numbers compared to previous years. One recent game we were 0-0 at the free throw line at the half. That is unusual. For an example of fouls not called Tyler was knocked to the floor after a three point attempt and no foul called and then he was called for a technical when he said something he should not have.
Not saying the lack of fouls being called changed the outcome of any of our games but do think it is a possibility.
This came to mind when I was reading the pontication of Jay Bilas on the subject as per below.
Well, we have a fire in college basketball, and it is spreading to the rest of our house. It is officiating. Not individual officials but the officiating of the game.
College basketball's officiating problem is getting worse.
...........................................................
Fouls called are at an all-time low this season. Given how ridiculously physical this game has become, that is impossible. Officials are either missing the fouls committed or ignoring them. And it is clearly the latter. Individual officials cannot and should not be blamed, as they are just doing what their bosses are allowing them to do. The fault lies with the administration of the game.
