Lay off the Big Sky Refs?

I've watched two weeks of horrible calls in the NFL. Refs don't know from one game to the next what is a catch or an INT. Not sure I do either anymore but at least they could be consistent. Defensive holding by D-backs happens every play but if its not called in the first half, don't call it in the second half. And what is this "its just a little hand fighting?" Same for o-line holding. And holding in the end zone by the o-line is called every time during regular season but not during playoffs, especially overtime? Why "let 'em play" during playoffs but not the regular season? Spot assist is used during regular season but not a playoff game? Instead of calling whether its a fumble or incomplete pass they now let the play go forward as a fumble and then review to see if its correct. Yet if it's close but wrong they won't overturn the original defalut call. It's BS. Refs are now pathetically gun shy. I've decided bad refereeing is just an epidemic across the NFL and all levels of college, so I won't waste time or effort anymore pissing about the Big Sky refs.

Same thing in basketball. It’s why we get obliterated in the NCAA tourney…BSC refs call every hand check, then it’s “let em play” in the tournament and our guys are like “WTF?”

The Big Sky has been a one and done league for almost 20 years. You would think the refs would have picked up on what is happening by now.

I think most referees do a remarkable job. Believe me it's a lot easier to ref a game from your couch than it is down on the field in real time. I've reffed enough youth sports to know that it is a totally thankless job and the people that step up and do it, I tip my hat to them.

I spent many years umpiring Little League and Senior League baseball and fully agree with this post. Everybody is an expert, but few ever have the gonads to get on the field or court and PROVE IT! My thanks as well to all those who put up with the "FAN GRIEF" and do it.
