Yeah, officials by and large suck. Nothing new with that.

IF the refs would call the game by the rules, all games would be down to nothing but walkons and scrubs by the start of the second half; i'm all for a little physicality, but the sport as it is now is beyond absurd

That is not the point of the article.

Basketball is listed as a contact sport. So contact and somewhat rough play is allowed.

However, when you have people throwing elbows on rebounds, hitting players in the face, tossing people over your back, those are excessive plays. They do not happen in all games, but when they do, the NCAA should enforce a rule that stats automatic suspension...and make it progressive and even effect the coach if it is the norm for a team.
