Knell is known for being an instigator. Padilla knows this and makes garbage

To the extent that this is true, it is zero basis for making that call. And the

Is there an element of higher standards bc we’re BYU? Is his rep bc he doesn’t back down?

The Mag "t" for pointing at the monitor has a strong case for being a worse call

We saw Padilla warn Sears for talking trash after a 3 and didn’t seem like Knell got a warning

I saw the same thing. Warning to Sears but not Knell.

Any documented accounts on what Knell said?

Didn’t even get a reaction from the Bama defender so no way it was anything.

its not even clear it was intended as trash talk for the Bama player. It was

Wasn't the radio crew (who are well known to the players) sitting right there as well?

Talking on the floor vs talking to the bench? is there a difference?

The best part was Padilla then calling a questionable blocking foul on Knell 8 seconds later just to ensue we knew who

Just stop. Nothing about that game was about the refs. Bama played lights out.

Fatalplacebo

Mar 28, 9:15am

That sequence (T & blocking) was most certainly about the refs. Alabama most certainly played lights out.

Mar 28, 9:18am

It wouldn’t at all changed the outcome. So no need complaining about it.

So expect ing the refs to not make phantom calls is only valid when...

What’s pathetic is the board constantly whining about the refs. We are so

It’s okay to whine and hate this sequence of calls AND recognize Bama smacked us

Also if it wasn't Tony Padilla who has a history of trash calls vs. us, maybe it

Mar 28, 5:45pm

So you don't believe Bama played lights out and Padilla screwed those calls up can both be true?

slatecoug

Mar 28, 2:30pm

Sure. But it’s also more true that CBers feel persecuted by a ref’s bad call

Can you only complain about refs if it affected the game?

Padilla always makes the game about him. Nothing new here.

They aren't alone in that line of thinking, and many who are in agreement aren't BYU fans, which says a lot.
