BYU Basketball: WCC whistles set the conference up for failure

18.2 fouls.

Of the 351 teams in Division I college basketball, the teams ranked right in the middle in fouls per game average 18.2 whistles.

That’s far too few in the opinion of the referees who cover the West Coast Conference, or at least that’s what their actions suggest.

And the way they’re calling games is setting the conference up for failure.

Yes, as Tom Holmoe pointed out, the WCC doesn’t have their own referees. They use a pool of refs that cover multiple western conferences, including the PAC-12 and Mountain West Conference.
