HOME COURT OFFICIATING

[bamladgle]

I wonder if anyone has the ability, time and initiative to

research the number of fouls called on the home teams

vs. the visitors in the last 3-5 years in SEC basketball.

It would be very interesting

And I like to see Kentucky and Auburn’s separated.

I find it very interesting that without a true home court advantage this year due to COVID, many of the “blue bloods” are struggling.

I honestly think it has a lot to do with not having the normal practice time before and at times during the season. These Blue Bloods depend heavily on incoming five stars, one-and-done type first-year students. Not having the time to gel hurts them.

Alabama's advantage is that it's is lead by guys who have played 4 years of cool basketball.

Officiating is BADLY in favor of the home team almost always. It's egregious and seemingly intentional at this point.

I was curious and researched Arkansas’s foul disparity this year (just against SEC and OK St):

Home:
Arkansas averages 24 FTA
Opponents: 17 FTA

Away:
Arkansas: 18 FTA
Opponents: 21 FTA

Now if you take away the last two games for Arkansas which greatly skewed the numbers, Arkansas averages the same amount of FTA (20) at home as their opponent.

Good stuff Harper. This makes it appear even more that officiating was bias against Arkansas last two road teams, Bama and LSU.

Harper that is a cheap shot. You and I both know that a lot of normal officiating disparity happens in the last two to three minutes of a game, as the team that is ahead gets a lot of positive foul calls. I think you can see the difference in officiating on Saturday and last Wed. On Wed. We got old ACC breath on the opposing player and it is a foul and last Saturday against State, if you were not mugged with blood flowing it was play on. I forgot if blood was drawn and the blood hit an opposing player it was a foul on JQ. The Miss State officiating was what we got the first 11 games of the year.

Our problem is we have not adapted to ACC type officiating and Herb is a monster with Big Ten officiating.

If the last name is Shows or Valentine it's not going Bama's way!

A team shouldn't have to adjust to how the officials are calling the game, especially if that adjustment takes you out of your game and plays to the strength of the opposing team.

Yes, a foul on Wed. needs to be a file on Sat.; however, with officials being assigned by Districts and not Leagues, an official might be calling a game in Boston on Monday, Tampa on Tuesday, Tuscaloosa on Wed., Austin on Thurs., Durham on Fri and Lexington on Sat. and there are no standards of review. What is one officials foul is another officials play on. Against Arkansas, Shakelford had two fouls before the game started, which took Alabama's best offensive weapon out of the game.

I was told yesterday by what I consider to be a pretty in the know guy that Doug Shows father played at Arkansas. I am stuck in the 80’s so I don’t know how to find out, but I am sure there are plenty of internet savvy folks around here that can find out if this is true.

ROLL TIDE!!!!
