All of my closest sports friends and basketball buddies will tell you that at ANY level of play, I don’t disrespect or blame officiating for losses or bad play. I was raised by a father who coached me in multiple sports, and was an official in multiple sports as well. I like to brag on his accomplishments a bit. As a baseball umpire, he started when I was in little league and became so good at it that he umpired in several Babe Ruth league World Series at the 16-18 year old level. He was also offered to be a Minor League baseball umpire but turned it down because he didn’t justify being away from the family so much with young kids in the house (I’m the oldest of three).

All that to say, I was raised to respect officials. Doesn’t mean I didn’t lose my cool on them from time to time, but I knew better.

However, the disparity in officiating quality we have seen in the CAA so far this year is something I’ve never seen. Several games across the conference where the officials blow a whistle on both teams for the slightest of contact, and other games where teams are allowed to hack each other until there’s blood. Slight exaggeration, but the point is made. We all know I can’t stand the CAA, but this is something the leadership needs to address. There has to be an officiating middle ground these folks can get to. The game that sticks out the most is our Hofstra game at home when a fight broke out on the court, in all likelihood brought on by frustration stemming from all of the foul calls. That was horrid.

Hopefully we better officiating the rest of the way and at the tournament. Not just for us, but the whole conference. All of the teams deserve the best, and we have not been seeing that this year.
