I think the ref talking to the players is a way to communicate what they will call and what they will let go without blowing a whistle every 10 seconds.  That was a nice seat you had!  I know it isn't close to you, but you really should go to the Washington game on Sunday!  Thanks for the updates.

Yep, that was me.  Ball was heading right for the Pac-12 camera assistant.  I don't think she saw it coming.

Another interesting thing I noticed was that the baseline ref, Kyle Bacon, was constantly yelling at the post players.  He would shout, "Easy, Easy" or "Don't Push" or other words I couldn't decipher.  It was almost like he was coaching them.  Is that normal?

The level of pushing and shoving under the basket is way more than TV reveals.  It's no wonder that Betts has taken time to adjust to D1 level play.
