Re: Wisconsin Regional 2016

I was watching the matches from the lower seating sections and didn't see anything from Red that warranted the foul given. Re watching the video just now and i still didn't' see anything from 1306 that warranted the foul given and the reason given from the refs for said foul when questioned after.

1306 intake was over 537's bumper but no action was being taken by 1306 that would warrant the G24 being called. This is especially true if said foul wasn't called on the extremely aggressive defense 5855 played through out the elims. 5855 repeatedly drove up and onto teams and kept driving, causing wires to be pulled out on at least 1 team. I am not saying 5855 was intentionally driving on top of teams but G24 is about intentional actions. 5855's defense was intentional and the consequences of that defense warranted a G24 if what happened with 1306 and 537 warranted a G24.

I am not pointing out 5855's actions to say that they should have been penalized I am only using them as an example of the non-consistent calls made by the reffing crew all weekend, which changed the out comes of matches.

I would also like to say how stupid it is that ref's don't have to keep track of the fouls they call. In the 2nd semi match between 8 and 5 there was a foul called on red. When asked about it after so we would not commit the foul again. We were told that they couldn't remember when/who committed the foul just that one was committed. I'm pretty sure I knew what the infraction was at the time and re watching the match pretty much confirms it. But if i can remember something 2 days later, the refs should be able to remember something that happened 3 min before hand.
