Nederland always plays 8 on 5 there[/quote]Just like when teams play 8 on 5 in Nederland.[/quote]The refs in both meetings were from the College Station chapter. So if you are insinuating home town cooking, then fish elsewhere. 2 of the refs officiated both games. The 3rd ref mentioned from last night did everything in his power to enable an advantage for the Panthers. If you weren't there, then you wouldn't understand. Ozen fans sitting near the Ned fans were laughing about his calls bc they were so blatantly obvious. [/quote]This ref came in during JV game walked in front of Ned stands and a group of Ozen fans sitting courtside and he greeted each of them!! Most flat out biased ref I have seen in a long time.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Which ref? The bigger one? If so, he shook hands with everybody at the start of the game, or at least tried to. He tried shaking hands with the kid in the tie (bookkeeper?), but the kid didn't see the ref extend his hand to him.

I'm talking about him mingling with the Ozen fans like he knew every one of them. Same ref that gave coach E a tech in our 1st game against Ozen. Maybe he's just mad coach E wouldn't agree to a local chapter and he had to drive all the way from college station. Regardless, horrible ref.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 The same guy gave an Ozen coach a warning too. ;)I've seen that guy ref on several occasions in Houston. He's a good ref as long as you don't get on his bad side.

Michele Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 So proud of my DOGS....great win last night, I agaree though...the officiating got my blood boiling last night.
AggiesAreWe Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Posted February 6, 2013 BTW, if the tall official is the same College Station chapter official that officiated the HJ/Silsbee game at Ford Arena, then I can understand why he greeted and chatted with some fans at the game. He is from this area.

AggiesAreWe Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Posted February 6, 2013 I was obviously not at the game last night so I cannot comment on if the officiating was bias or not.I can say this. I have been to many a basketball game in this area where games were officiated by either the local TASO or UIL Chapters. I have seen officials from both chapters greet and talk to fans before and even sometimes during the game. Because these guys know some of the people in attendance and acknowledge and speak with them cordially, does that mean those guys will call a bias game? I don't think so.Like I said, wasn't at the game last night, so I really do not know. But I think you guys are making the "conversing with the fans" a mountain out of a mole hill.

Razor Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 I have no problem with refs talking to fans from one team or another before games...fact is, these guys know many people who attend games and the fact that they talk to them does not indicate to me that they are bias one way or another...most officials are professional enough to seperate the two.As for last night, I did not find the officiating to be blatantly horrible or bias...I do think the travelling call agaist Nederland late in the game after an Ozen miss was pretty bad...easy to travel when you are being tackled...there was also a pretty blatant missed called as English tried to post up and was run over as the entry pass came in, both at key times...I will admit that I am a Nederland fan and my eye is likely biased toward watching those calls...I am sure Ozen likely feels that they had some calls go against them...my point is this...I don't think the officiating determined the outcome of the game (and it shouldn't)...very rarely does it.I also agree that Lorimer stepped up in a big way last night that doesn't necessarily show up in the box score...Nederland has to have someone besides Weisbrod and English contribute in a big way in order to win these type games...last night, it was Lorimer, plus a pretty good team defensive effort...they forced Ozen into taking difficult shots for the most part and it worked out.Dove, your son is quite the player...I continue to be very impressed with his play...he is one of those kids who is going to get his points, you just have to be sure that he has to work hard to get them.

Refs are gonna miss calls, no doubt. With those bad calls in crucial situations, that easily COULD have determined the outcome. Fortunately our kids fought hard through those bad calls and still won with focus and determination. Points don't always show who had the most impact in a game. Lorimier was huge last night and (as you mentioned) the overall team effort on defense.

Duke, NC, Kentucky are usually elite teams. Sometimes they are not as good bc of different reasons. Sometimes it's talent, sometimes it's team chemistry. This year Kentucky is 'down'. I remember the days when aTm basketball was at the bottom year in/year out. Then a new coach, new scheme, and they start winning. Then another coach comes in and they are not so good. Now they are decent again. It's only natural. Same can be said for Baylor FB and BBall. DV just has can't accept change. Funny bc on the political board he was all about 'CHANGE'!! ;D ;D
