stan saying that the refs screwed us.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

said the team will play 8 on 5 if they have to from now on.

[weevilhogg]

I agree.

The refs missed a bunch of free throws and couldnt  block out to save their butts.

Way to go, refs.

[Lanny]

The Refs started Dontell Jefferson in Overtime.

[Fletch]

They also can't work the clock or keep from fouling behind the arc.

[hog caller]

we are off and running as usual . no dance this year guranteed.  geeeeeeeeeez goooooooooosh
fooooooooooooooooooooooie,shite.

[Father Swine]

The officiating was suspect, at best.  This isn't something that I want the coach whining about.

A good team will overcome the odds and win those games.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

can't miss free throws if you don't get to shoot them

[HawgWyld]

I agree.

The refs missed a bunch of free throws and couldnt block out to save their butts.

Way to go, refs.

Yes! It was the refs that pissed away a 13-point lead. The refs! The refs, man!

[Nutt_Hate_Me]

The Refs do a great job prepping these guys in practice.  The Refs draw up great plays during TO's.

[italianhog]

thats the best post...that pretty much says it all....lol

[AlmightyHog]

The refs did screw us but a good team and a good coach will play past bad officiating we apparently have neither

[Teddyhawgeddy]

The refs watched a kid make 3 straight free throws and then call time out just as Ronnie is fixing to take his man to the hole and win the game.

[Hollywood_HOGan]

we had that game anyway.

How the crap do you give up a 13 pt lead and have control of the game towards the end??

DJ totally choked at the line but his foul at the end of regulation was bull freaking crap!!!
33 free shots to 9. I dont care what the story is but that right there tells you all you need to know.

We were getting called for crap that they were getting away with the entire game.

Screw off SEC!!

[tuskavarnna]

can't miss free throws if you don't get to shoot them

Amen teets

[nobballconcept]

another heath moment...yeah blame the refs for piss poor coaching.   

[RzrbckMAJ]

only an imcompetent coach blames the refs.  I say send him packing.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

I'm not a fan of Heath's but I believe it was 30 free throws to 9 by Arkansas and that is a hose job by the SEC refs.

[oldbooniehog]

The refs also told Dontell to foul a three-point shooter with only seconds left...

[HawgWyld]

only an imcompetent coach blames the refs. I say send him packing.

Heath isn't going anywhere. Sad, but true.

For one thing, they're not about to fire him after letting Nutt suck it up for all these years (unless they want to prove Richardson right, that is). Second, I doubt anyone in the Athletic Department is thrilled over the idea of another ex-coach on the payroll.

The only hope at all is that Heath will step down voluntarily. Outside of that, we're stuck with him.

[HawgWyld]

That was the point where I said, "Oh, so *that's* how they're going to screw this one up. Way to go!"

[Thrilbilly]

A good coach will raise the roof off the place when he thinks calls are that bad

[NuttsSacked]

The refs didn't screw us.  Heath did.

[mr4pt]

stan saying that the refs screwed us.

Yeah, that's what I would say to if I were a suck-ass second-rate coach that just lost a 13 pt lead because of poor time mgmt and personell decisions.

Damn those refs

[HawgWild]

I would tend to agree that the ref's did stink it up tonight, although they're not the real reason that we lost (did we loose...I turned the game off). We just have no team chemistry and no heart.

[O_Coordinator4Hire]

The refs shouldnt even have been in the game......  We had a 13 pt lead for God's Sake!!!

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

Specifically- do you think some [any] SEC refs put money on the games that they officiate?  I say yes, and I wonder if that is why three officials were fired just before the season started.

[Ridgerunnerpiggie]

I officially nominate myself as the new head coach for the University of Arkansas!  I promise to coach as crappy as Heath does and I'll even do it for $900,000 a year!  That is as long as the state is stupid enough to give me FOUR years to prove I'm an idiot and can't coach!

[murray-vegas]

If only the refs controlled the inability to rebound or shoot a FT... This team doesn't have basic skills.

[Hums]

and maybe the team will feed off of it.  Officiating is often times dictated by the Coach on the sideline.  We used to absolutely mug people and get away with it.

[italianhog]

stans not getting hosed by the refs....we'er getting hosed by the basketball team..

[Foshodo]

Did Dj Screw us royally multiple times? Yes

Did Stan Make Mistakes? Yes

Did the Refs one of the most uneven jobs of calling fouls I've ever seen?  Yes

I dont understand why DJ was in the game after several mistakes,
i dont understand why Hill wasn't saved for the last half of Overtime since he doesnt bring any offense.
I dont understand why that TO was called when Brewer looked to be ahead of his man.
I dont understand why It's so friggin hard to get the ball inside for minutes at a time.
I dont understand how finally a game where I'm not dissapointed by Ferg was a game we lose...

So many things I dont understand...

[Smithers™]

oh god if hes going to start avoiding responsibility like Phil Jackson he has to at least start winning like him first...

[HawgWyld]

You might have arrived at just the right time! The way things are going on the hill, you might get $1.4 million and an iron-clad, five-year contract if you talk to the right people. Just imagine!

[creecy]

PLEASE TELL :razorback:

[CiriusPorker]

Even Nutt doesn't blame the officiating that much!  He'll say that there is "questionable" calls..but then he accepts it.  and says they gotta get betta!

[HawgnDos]

That argument doesn't hold any water.  Nuttsack HAS been to post season play and has won some of them.  Heath hasn't even been to any.

[CiriusPorker]

I can't believe i'm saying this,but Heath makes Nutt look like a damn good coach right now!

[clemensrules01]

30 free throws to 9 free throws. a bogus blocking call on thomas...and the three point foul was questionable. still, we should have won the game with good coaching.

[pook]

we will continue to get screwed by the refs if Heath doesn't learn to rant and rave like the other winning coaches. the refs do not fear or respect him. we get walked over all the time. he should go over to nolan's ranch and learn the scowl nolan used. a few technical fouls and ejection may be the best thing that could happen. i know and respect that he is a nice guy but he will have to learn to take up for his team. they are playing hard and giving great effort but need some help. this is getting hard to watch.

[ki285]

the refs didnt get us beat.  any team should be able to hold a 13 point late second half lead.  bama isnt even a good team

[resqnu911]

i can honestly say that i have never seen a situation in the end of a close game like that where there are only 24 seconds left and the trailing team has to foul 3 consecutive times....just to get into a one and one situation at the line....

and did the thought never occur to the players to try and dribble or pass away from the foul to run some time off the clock???

[HawgWyld]

the refs didnt get us beat. any team should be able to hold a 13 point late second half lead. bama isnt even a good team

Sadly, neither is Arkansas. Good Lord that was some terrible basketball. Was it even basketball?

[ki285]

no doubt about arkansas isnt even close to being a decent team

[hogattack21]

Did Heath really say something about the officiating, because if he did he will be reprimanded by the SEC for it. I believe this is the second time as well, he did the same after the LSU game last year.

[pook]

the refs didnt get us beat. any team should be able to hold a 13 point late second half lead. bama isnt even a good team

im not blaming the refs for losing the game. your right we should have closed the game out better, but overall the refs need to be aware of the coach's presence and have that fear of facing the coach when a bad call is made. the refs hated to face nolan when they screwed up.

[ballhog™]

If we don't get hosed by the refs we win.

If the players had some basketball IQ we win.

If Heath does a better job coaching down the stretch we win.

We control 2 of the 3, can anything be done about those.  It doesn't look like it this year.

[pook]

and the team needs to learn that you have to be mean and fight and not stand for losing. that's the killer instinct that nolan's teams had. it's a state of mind that we are missing and it comes from the top down.  ps .. im not saying i want nolan back. just a comparison of attitudes.

[HogInaStrangeLand]

where can I find end of game stats?

[TMc]

If the refs were that bad, why was he not in their face.. Yeah I think they missed some calls.. but hey Alabama was just easily getting the ball into the post.. my mother could have passed in there all night.. And another thing.. the zone looked effective to me.. Bama missed shots, we rebounded better.. and we could have kept our bigs in the game.  To get back to the free throw difference, they pounded the ball inside all night.. and we fouled them alot.  WE should have never lost that game. period.

[ballhog™]

33 fts to 9.

3 team fouls for bama the 2nd half.  That's not calling it both ways.
