Coming soon to SEC Basketball: Better Refs!

Ready for some good news? According to Gary Parrish, the SEC is nearing a deal with the American Athletic Conference (AAC) to share basketball referees. Parrish notes that it’s a complicated deal, but says it should ensure the SEC has better, more consistent refs working league games going forward, which is very welcome news. Between Doug Shows, Pat Adams, and Doug Sirmons, Kentucky has had more than their fair share of questionable calls over the past several years, most recently Adams’ technical on Isaac Humphries for spiking the ball at Texas A&M in February. If you remember, the SEC had to issue a statement about that call because there is no specific language about spiking the ball in the rule book.
