  • Calipari calls for consistency in officiating

    By LARRY VAUGHT

    At his press conference Friday, Kentucky coach John Calipari was asked if he had sent video from any past games to the SEC office to review.

    Remember the end of the Florida game where it looked like P.J. Washington was fouled as he drove to the basket and no call was made. Of course, at the end of the Texas A&M game it looked like Wenyen Gabriel committed a foul and no foul was called.

    Calipari said he had not sent any video to the SEC and then proceeded to explain what he expects from officials.

    "For us, my concern in refereeing always has been is not, ‘Did you make that call?’ It’s if you’re going to call carries on my team, call the carry on that team. If you’re going to say your guy created the contact and leaned in a shot it and I’m not calling that when their guy creates the contact then leans in and shoots it, don’t call it on my team," Calipari said.

    "If you ever listen to what I’m saying, I’m not arguing a call. Be consistent. If you’re calling a moving screen on my team, I am now watching down there. If they’re moving on screens I’m going to get on you about it. ‘You just called that on my team.’ Consistency is all I’m looking for.

    "Sometimes it’s OK to be consistently bad. Just be consistently bad. That’s fine, too. Just whatever you’re going to be, this is how I’m calling it. If there are hand checks and you start calling them, call them on both teams. If you’re going to let all the hip checks and bumps and go, don’t call that on my team. ‘Well, it’s a different way. Your guy leaned in. His didn’t.’

    "Stop it, just be consistent. Call the game.”

      Too many years in the SEC has broken the man on this subject. So sad.

      SEC officials really are terrible! All of them, can’t think of one that is half way decent!

    Thanks, Harlow--I corrected it to 22. No idea, of course, and watch 18 be the right answer lol. Anyway, I appreciate the heads up.
