Threadkilla Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) 35 minutes ago, CHROMEBIRD said: For sure. Nolf-Hidlay also comes to mind. But it's not PSU catching breaks. I think the officiating has been a bit uneven this season. PSU just gets the most attention when a call goes their way because they're PSU. I'm not blaming the refs, either. It's hard to develop "refereeing muscle memory" when there have been so many rules changes over the past 5 or so years. At least it feels that way. Hidlay did not have a TD and that was end of the first period. The obvious answer is the non-TD call in the JO/Logan match. * for Steiber Edited February 20 by Threadkilla Grammar police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCinnabon Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Do PSU guys get calls? Yup. Do all superstars in sports get calls? Yup. Specific PSU guys get calls because they are elite and Cael in general gets calls because of the program he has built. Refs are human. The best guys will get the benefit of the doubt more times than not and Penn State has had the most best guys for a long time now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 As someone who doesn't cheer for PSU, I don't think of myself as a hater but perhaps as a non PSU fan the shoe fits. I also have wondered this and think it is a combination of a few things 1) PSU has a disproportionate amount highly ranked wrestlers who are in big matches that draw attention. So it seems like they are involved in getting calls but others have benefited as well. For example, Dean's win the quarters was big but not the only bad call at NCAAs that year or in other years but we remember it because he won the title. 2) Because they have some of the best wrestlers, their reaction time/wrestling IQ/quick twitch, whatever probably create more 50/50 calls. 3) Stars do get calls and they probably get the benefit of the doubt on 50/50 calls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husker_Du Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I think it's haterade. other than completely blown (and acknowledged) judgement calls (Davis-Kilkeary / Beau-Hardy) (one of which was conflated by a new interpretation of 'reaction time', what pivotal calls went their way that were egregious. I didn't think Hayden had the TD on Nolf. There was a challenge in the Matt Brown - Wilps final that was iffy. Something weird (i can't remember) happened in the Hidlay-Brooks final. but i just can't say, en masse, 'psu gets all the calls'. TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husker_Du Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 it was 100% the right call re: Zahid-Mark. should have been called in Suriano-Fix as well. same situation. TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouts Honor Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 18 hours ago, FanOfPurdueWrestling said: I, a self proclaimed PSU hater, began to wonder this. Is Penn state really getting the “good calls” at a disproportionate rate to other schools? There are example to point out, but is that my own bias and the forums bias? Or this this actually an issue? can't both be true? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VakAttack Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 3 minutes ago, Scouts Honor said: Davis is a superstar? No, but the teams are the superstars more than anything in our sport, so maybe it's better phrased that certain coaches get the benefits of an iffy whistle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCinnabon Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 1 hour ago, Scouts Honor said: Davis is a superstar? Nope. The dual was at home and Cael is still the coach. They also get calls due to Cael Sanderson and the dominance of the PSU team in general. It's a combination. Davis got the home cooking/Cael Sanderson effect. And I say that as a PSU fan.
