I NEVER complain about reffing in any sport or league, other than NCAA basketball. It is just an awful product.

I complain about bad officiating in any sport. It's really bad in college football but college basketball is by far the worst in organized sports and they NEVER ever do anything to improve it.

I would settle for being consistent. The start of the game, set the tone. If you're going to let them play, then keep it that way. Don't change the tone to "breath on them and it's a foul" later. You kill any flow to the game.

They give way too much power to refs and esepcially ego-maniacs like Adams.

Didn’t Bama play an entire season without being called for offensive holding even one time?

The SEC will not admit this obvious issue nor do nothing to the likes of Pat Adams.

And some here still think Sankey wll join our NIL argument with the NCAA... I would be shocked to get any viable support from a self serving, bama infiltrated Birmingham HQ

I hope this administration is not depending on Stankey to help. He put it to us in Football. I'd be shocked.

Pat Adams was the a$$hole that called a foul and then a technical on Jerrone Maymon several years ago in the SEC tournament in the last few seconds against Florida. Essentially cost us the game. Teddy Valentine is a credit to this piece of horse excretement!

Adams sprinted up the floor to get in Barnes’ face - trying to bait Barnes into a technical. He followed that up with 3 bogus foul calls - just because he could…. Unprofessional, bush league behavior. What a self-important embarrassment.

Adams is Kentucky's main ref. Adams made some of the worst calls in the Tenn. vs SC game i have seen. Why does the SEC offices not see this.

Doug Shows
Clougherty (spelling?)
TV Teddy
Anthony Jordan

TN has been screwed by each of these guys over the years to the point it's beyond just saying its incompetent reffing. There is bias.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it was Adams who ran into Barnes on the sideline purposefully, then tried to act like Barnes ran into him several years ago. It was an unbelievable occurrence, and Barnes was furious.

That was Mike Nance. Not sure he is still calling games, at least not in the SEC.

My all-time "favorite" STUPID call of an SEC referee was when John Clockerty gave a Technical Foul to Ron Slay for....er-eh...JUMPING! In basketball, no less. What do you say, Mister Slay?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

If you asked him, I'm sure he would give you a colorful answer. He's a cool guy. Everyman's guy all out

I’ve never ever understood why Sec HQ has to be in that arm pit of a city and state.😞

I can’t even think about it without getting mad. Who in the hell voted for that?

Do you honestly think an SEC coach could keep his job if he pulled his team from the court before the game was finished?

We were in a tight game with several of our top scorers struggling to score. Adam’s showed he was ready to T someone up. I’m thankful Barnes read the room and didn’t give Adam’s an excuse to T him giving SC 2 free points.

you are right likely he would be looking for a new job. However at some point something has to be done and it may take something this drastic. Maybe a better way would be for a AD to notify the league office that is this (or any such poor excuse of an official) guy is assigned to any game we are to play that my team would not take to court.

SEC has a different kind of anti trust problem from the NCAA,

In our league, nobody trusts our basketball referees, they are much more interested in being a part of the game, whereas in reality they should merely be the transparent guardrails in the game to ensure a fair and consistently played/called contest and an objective observer rather than always trying to be critical component with bizarre calls and totally inept objectivity, as we have already seen during our conference play this year and on full display last night. It is absolutely disgraceful.

Is that really true or geographic speculation?

@Thunder Good-Oil is correct. Quick LinkedIn check shows it is disproportionately University of Alabama grads in the office there...

SEC Football refs disproportionately live in Alabama.

Steve Shaw, a Bama grad, was the guy who hired, assigned, disciplined, and reviewed SEC football refs for a long time. He used to get to officiate their games but enough schools complained about that to get rules changed....

The SEC office needs to be out of Birmingham.

The SECCG used to be in Birmingham before Spurrier called them out of that.

I knew an SEC ref named Moon, he was up in the box, scorekeeper? From B'ham (Mountain Brook).

Less than 5% of SEC population base lives in Alabama. The state of residency of refs and college affiliation for SEC office far exceeds this threshold...
