re: Thoughts, Comments, Concerns with Regards to Basketball (Long)

Absolutely brilliant post and spot on. Every time I've brought myself to peek in on LSU basketball they seem to suck like a Hoover. Since Trent left it has been better but still no free throw shooting is just horrible. How is it coach after coach with any number of players the same crappy FT shooting? If they shoot 80% last night it is a victory
I have NEVER seen a basketball team consistently botch shots standing UNDER the goal. It is uncanny how this happens game after game.
Simmons? Yep, he is good and probably could do better. He is the self proclaimed best player but he sure sucked last night. Of course, the whole team did.
As far as referees go - they suck every bit as badly as the FB ones do. I don't know what it is about Victor being a foul magnet! I officiated basketball 20 years and I never targeted a player because of rep, size, aggressiveness, etc. If you foul you foul! They also call too many ticky tacky fouls and destroy the rhythm of the game. I WANT to watch good basketball win or lose. It's just not very good anywhere right now. I don't think the SEC will fare well in the tournament regardless of who makes it.
