Fouls

Just facts- you decide
From the official play-by-play….

In the first 4 minutes last night, Alex Huibregtse had just hit his 3rd triple, Bradley led 15-4 and had ONLY ONE team foul.

Then, after the timeout with Indiana State staff barking at the refs- in the next four minutes, SIX fouls were called on Bradley, putting Indiana State in the bonus with almost 12 min left in the 1st half,

And…. sending a couple BU starters, including Jaquan to the bench and by 11:30, Indiana State had completely caught up.

This is a scenario we have seen several times this year. Almost as if someone does not want one team to run out beyond double-digit lead?

Just another data point to consider:

Coach Wardle got his T at the 12:33 mark of the second half of regulation

For the next TEN minutes, Bradley only got called for two fouls.

At times, I do wonder if in the moment the refs really are just calling what they see and it takes a coach to call out the massive discrepancy and then suddenly it all gets evened up. They have to call the technical because otherwise they'd get harassed the

For me, the theory is not about not allowing big leads but more than refs almost always try to even up the fouls as the game goes on.

Or maybe you're right and life is like NBA Jam where we have "Computer Assistance" mode on that makes it impossible to get down or up by too much. :cool:
 
For what it's worth... The only other technical foul Coach Wardle has gotten this season was midway through the 2nd half of the UC San Diego game. Prior to the technical foul (at 10:32 of the 2nd half), the foul differential in the game was 17-7 (17 fouls called on Bradley to just 7 fouls called on UCSD.
In the 10:32 after the technical, the foul differential was 6 to 6, and two of those fouls on Bradley were inside the final 45 seconds when Bradley fouled intentionally in an attempt to catch up. So maybe the technical foul changed the way those officials were calling that game?

I have noticed this in alot of referees. They call what I say are look like fouls. If it looks like there should have been a foul then I should call it wether there was a foul or not
