re: don't put the blame on the refs, poor defense

I know a lot of people are saying SEC refs are terrible, but there are no SEC basketball refs. All of them are independent contractors, throughout the NCAA.

I'd like to see the SEC actually employ their own officials with the stated purpose of improving the quality of the product.

Dale Brown said something similar last week

"I don't think officials are paid nearly what they are worth, and they need to jack the price up," Brown said...."Ninety percent of time that I chewed on a ref, I'd go back, look at the film and say, 'I'll be damned, I was wrong.'"

Damn near fell out my chair when I read the last bit. Never thought I'd hear that from Dale.
