I watched the So. Carolina - LSU game.  I noticed that some of the foul calls looked very similar to ones I've seen called in Stanford games.  I see them as being called inconsistently but maybe the officials have been told to call them that way.

In particular, when an offensive player hands the ball off, the officials have called a subsequent contact on minimal movement with a defensive player as a blocking foul.  This seems inconsistent with how they are calling in on other blocks.

One foul was initially called a shooting foul when the player took a dribble after the foul and before the shot.  That was a call against Stanford in the last game.  However, somehow the officials changed their mind (how???) after Mulkey complained.
