The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #3 Auburn Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

I can’t disagree with that. Basketball is a hard game to officiate and your suggestion could nothing but help.
So it’s a hard game to officiate but easy-peasy for armchair officials to declare they would make perfect calls if in the same position instead of from their living rooms.
 
Just replayed pieces of the game and the UNEQUAL application of the rules around the rim is easily documentable, especially late. But they drug down Dubar and Felix at the rim to the point Bilas was incredulous that fouls were not called, and then was equally stern on his call on Felix’s 5th foul. But seconds earlier check out this uncalled world class hack job on Phillips that resulted in a tough miss falling away.

The ratio of calls in AU favor that had to be corrected are verifiable stats as well.

Here is the bias related no call. Dang near every loose ball on AU was rewarded with an assumed foul call. Not on our end.

Edited to add hacking call on MAYSHACK when his pressure forced Broome into Okpara. Sad display of bias.
You’re spending a lot of useless energy complaining about the officiating in a game we won by hitting 25-27 FTs.
