This brings up an interesting question. Do coaches know in advance who the referees for their next game will be? If so, do you think they would game plan any differently based on this info?

In nonconference games, the home team will know who the refs are because they usually hire them and arrange their travel and accomodations. Sometimes the visiting team will negotiate some authority to dictate the refs.
But in MVC conference games, as in nearly every conference, neither team has anything to say about the officials. All the arrangements are made by the conference.
I am in Carbondale and stayoing at the team hotel, and I can say that nobody from Bradley knows who the refs will be tonight. They usually learn that when they arrive at the arena later tonight for the game. Occasionally they might accidentally learn it earlier if they happen to run into the officials at the hotel.
 
Can someone help me on who some of the crappy refs are? I believe I know that Bo Borowski and Dave Draucker are bad, are there any other guys that are consistently horrible?
