That is the worst call I've ever seen.

I love the Vols, but Grant committed a foul.

Other calls can be debated, imo.  I saw a couple of instances where I thought things should have been called differently: the first Reid foul should have been an F2 and there was maybe a hook-and-hold on Grant late in the game (both were reviewed and not called that way). Other than that, the foul calls bias was largely a result of them attacking the paint and UT settling for jumpers.

That said, this guy should not be calling LSU games if he's an obvious fan. I don't think that there can be any argument about that.

Let's be truly honest here. For weeks now this team has been playing below the level that we saw in non-conference play, but they've been able to win because the competition hasn't been great. Now, their sub-par play is biting them. We were beaten on Saturday because we couldn't prevent a freshman backup point guard from shredding our defense, not because of officiating. At least that's my $0.02.

I hope that CRB shares my views, because you can't solve a problem until you first correctly identify it.

This thing has now spread out on the interwebz and the analysis has begun.

We may not have lost the game because of foul calls, but this has stink on it. Just the perception has stink on it. As they taught us first day in law school: Avoid not only conflict of interest but also the appearance of conflict of interest.

In the OP linked video, what foul did Williams commit? I'm confused?

My reply was in reference to the foul after Turner's last 3 point attempt. I want very clear on that, I'll admit.

Clearly there was no foul by Grant on the play where he took the elbow and was awarded the F1 (which gave UT an opportunity for 4 points - and we capitalized on by scoring none).

Williams apparently fouled someone by smashing their elbow with his face.
