I suspect the B12 probably really doesn't have the money to do the work they need to do to find the best refs. I'm just speculating though. It wouldn't surprise me if they're just happy to fill the schedule with decent refereeing resumes each year.
Just curious

Cm'n, the B12 refs are just not good compared to other conferences. They are missing way too many calls. Looking at the stats they are calling fouls one a minute for cheap junk and then they become spectators the last five minutes.

Losing to KU twice in OT and playing a fun style of basketball will inevitably endear ISU to ESPN commentators. I don't know what to expect of the committee though. It really depends on how much they've watched, and how they feel about how teams finish close games.

Essentially, they'll pat us on the head and say "Well, we think that may have been a questionable call" or something even less conclusive.
The loss will remain. The anger will continue. Life will go on, and Kansas will keep getting calls.

Usually basketball refs are affiliated with at least one conference and could work in a few different ones.

Eustachy blew up to end that game and totally overshadowed the horrible Charlie Foxtrot of a call. All anyone remembered after the game was that the Iowa State coach totally lost it and got thrown out of the game.
I believe there were some in the meda that claimed the game was the mythical national championship which does help a little bit, but yes I think anyone in that position would be extremely angry and could hardly contain themselves.
The protection they get at least needs to end. No accountability to the public, and coaches cant even call them out. One or the other should ether happen or be allowed. Theyre not amateurs, theyre paid, and they should answer for doing their job shittily.
I posted this in another thread but I didn't see it here.
Andy Katz @ESPNAndyKatzFor those tweeting "what good does it do" to review calls. Well, the officials get reviewed and may or may not work future Big 12 games.

Considering that the refs that worked the game were some of the more veteran refs in the Big 12, I doubt that anything will happen.
I was responding to the question of whether anything was ever said officially about the "blarge" call in that game. My point is, right or wrong, most people concentrated on the end of game tirade and forgot about the ******** officiating from Izzo's T to the end of the game.
