Rutgers has seen its share of referee errors.
As a rebuilding team trying to dig their way out of the cellar, the Scarlet Knights have often been on the losing end of a major foul discrepancy. Referees like to favor the home team, and as much as they try to be unbiased, they often favor a team that has been historically good. Much like an umpire will give Aaron Judge the benefit of a ball call on the border of the plate, referees in basketball tend to see better players as ones who will get the calls.
That often leads to a big differences in who earns more fouls and sometimes it can also lead to favorable calls when they shouldn’t be there.
