‘“Can’t defend the Free Throw line”
- Thread starter FrankZ
- Start date
Pike needs to get teed up and intimidate refs. Refs take liberties with us pertaining to fouls unlike with Fran or Izzo who they’re afraid of.
A T could have lost us the game tonight. Love all the recliner coaches who question how we are winning.
Or it could have put an end to the trend with where they were clearly heading. Took a miracle to recover from that.
Some miserable people enjoy complaining more than winning.
Closest that I can remember coach criticizing the officiating. I wouldn’t blame him or the team for being frustrated with the way this game was called.
Offices called a completely different way in the sexond half than first half
Unacceptable inconsistency

If he got T’d up this game we would’ve probably lost
The offensive fouls against Spencer’s were head scratching. The 2nd one was technical not an offensive foul but the NW player flopped on minimal contact.
This is fair. Not sure the refs were “bad” as much as they were very inconsistent.
Pike smirk to officiating question was classic!!
In the presser Pike elaborated on the quote, something along the line of
"you can't defend the foul line, so defend without fouling"
"you can't defend the foul line, so defend without fouling"
That woulda lost us the game. No thanks
Press conference: when asked about the officiating -“Officials are trying hard to do a good job” and then looked at someone with a wry smile
“Can’t defend the free throw line”
And made several other comments about the free throws
There is NO WAY you can deny he thought the refs sucked and that is his pike-way of addressing it.

Inconsistent reffing IS bad reffing
I was okay with the refs tonight, but agree that a couple calls against Cam seemed suspect.
Problem for me is they don’t show the correct angles to really know what might have happened. The ref making the call is on the other side of the play from the camera angle shown on TV. So it’s impossible to get the same view as the ref.
Yeah when we played Iowa at home I think 3 years ago maybe 4 it seemed like we were getting calls in the first half and Fran got T'eed up right before halftime and Iowa got every call in the second half
the second flop call on Mulcahy and when he had the ball knocked from him late got me HOT. Ref in both cases was NOT in position to make the call. Paul was shielding the ref both times. How do you make a call when you can't actually see?
also reviewing the Paul foul, he got ran into by the big goof and they called a foul? headscratcher.

this....If players can't tell which way the refs are calling the game its very hard to play and defend. They called us for like no fouls the first ten minutes and like two fouls the entire first half. Once the second half started the refs on a dime decided every level of contact was a foul, no matter how light it was. Made no sense. Bad officiating period.
Exactly, but it was on the road. Can’t recall if he got the T or they just let him drone on.
