For the MSU/Mizz call, I really believe they need to institute a foul or a technical on a player who intentionally flops, refs are way too gullible for falling for these poor acting jobs, we've seen it with Cumberland all year. As for the Xavier call, I hate how an offensive player can be rewarded for initiating the contact. Goodin invaded that defenders space and he went straight up and blocked the shot, which he should, being 5 or 6 inches taller.

I don't know what the solution is right now. Basketball is probably the hardest game to officiate in my opinion. The new rules are geared towards refs being whistle haooy, so it looks like it will just get worse.

There were 2 defenders there. The one that blocked the shot wasn't called for the foul. The block was clean but the 2nd defender leaned in causing the foul. I didn't think it was a foul.
