Like Sam, I hate carping on officials, who are basically underpaid part-time employees jetting around and doing the best they can. How the NCAA hasn’t centralized training, continuing education, reviews and assignment officiating crews is beyond me. Meantime, I tend to think fans overreact to the impact crews can have on outcomes night in and night out across the sport.

Then there are days like Saturday’s Missouri-Florida game, where fans can reasonably point to whistles directly impacting the outcome.

Let’s go to the replays, shall we?

Here is the fourth foul called on Jontay Porter.
