[Husker] Officiating

[C Jolly]

It appears to me that there is NO consistancy with the officiating this 
year.  The refs call one way for one team and a different way for the 
other team in the same game.  For example, at the aTm game,
the Aggies were pounding on our guys in the middle without many foul 
calls, but Maric had two fouls on him in the first 2 and 1/2 minutes.  
He came in later in the first half and quickly gathered a 3rd foul.  In 
the second half, he did an excellent job of rebounding and putting the 
ball back after rebounding offensive shots.  If we would have been able 
to keep him in most of the game, it would have went a different direction.
    Nebraska also got a intentional foul called against them on what I 
thought was a ticky-tack foul,but one of the aTm players forearm 
shivered one of Nebraskas players in the back as the Nebraska player was 
racing down the court with the ball.  It was very obvious the aTm player 
was not going after the ball, but it was still only a personal foul.  
There are many instances of these calls, and not just the last game 
Nebraska played.
    I have noticed this trend with officiating in football as well. 
    This is one of the reasons that I am not ragging on Collier this 
week.  I thought he coached a good game, it almost appeared that aTm had 
7 players on the court.

The above rant is my opinion for the purposes of discussion only.
