Does this really happen?


So I know everyone complains about referees in college basketball and I know everyone at the end of the day tends to blame them for some of the problems on the court, I do this more than anybody and I know my past basketball teams can attest to that! But I was watching the Duke-Arizona game last night and I could not believe my eyes! Within the last ten minutes of play, there was a something to the tune of 7 fouls called. Now that may not seem a lot however I can almost guarantee that 5 of them went against Arizona. Now the funny thing is, Arizona won this by a large amount of points no matter what so my question to you my ten maybe 11 readers is "did the refs really call all those fouls because they believed them to be true or did they just call them to try and give Duke a fighting chance?" Now I ask this only because I got this feeling last night that Coach K was moaning and groaning about calls and the refs started to give them to him. Let's put it into prospective shall we? KU-UCLA game. This game was determined by foul shooting at the end of regulation because a UCLA player bumped Mario Little trying to shoot. Now there is no question that it was a foul! No question at all!! But do you think KU got the call because it is KU? Do you think if it were say...Quin Snyder, he would have gotten the call? That's the question I ask all of you. Do Blue Chip programs get more calls then mid-tier programs? Does the fact that Coach K is Coach K help him get more from the refs? Also, think of it this way. Coach K is never ever yelling at players or refs, he keeps his cool. Does that make him likable by the refs thereby creating some sort of weird mood towards giving Coach K what he wants compared to Frank Martin? Who wins in a fight? Coach K or Frank Martin? Thankful, Arizona still won last night otherwise I would have more to say! Rock Chalk Jayhawks tonight. I will be missing the game due to management class but everyone enjoy...it should turn out to be a good one.
