| 1625554614220165120 | 2nd half: 7 illegal/moving screens; 11 no call fouls on Edey; 6 no calls on other fouls; Collingsworth not called for contact with player on court. Will provide video/photo of some of these instances here along with an article on @HammerAndRails | 4 |
| 1625471101475119106 | Am I the Mason Gillis of the @HammerAndRails podcast?! Your #1 sub off the bench drops in to talk the Northwestern game with @jumboheroes. Listen to us talk about how we weren’t going to blame refs for the game and then proceed to discuss officiating the entire time 😂 https://t.co/OUCHRrvVs9 | 4 |
| 1627396974830813184 | @HammerAndRails I’m overly critical of @B1GMBBall officiating BUT the new coordinator is trying to get better guys and trying to get the guys he’s contractually obligated to use this year, better. Gonna take time. | 2 |
| 1624887570466217984 | As part of @HammerAndRails, I’ll be writing a piece this week that goes back through this game that makes note of the horrific officiating that occurred today. The ‘preeminent sports conf’ with this much $&$ shouldn’t have officials this bad. | 2 |
| 1624901300809879552 | @HammerAndRails Why do you think they turned it over so much?? Because they were fouled and it wasn’t called!! Go back and watch the game again with your blinders off!! NW didn’t win that game- the refs did! Yes they had a few turnovers but you can’t make sense of the loss with the stat sheet!! | 1 |
| 1627491074531893249 | @UKhoopsjunkie @HammerAndRails @B1GMBBall @SECOfficiating I think there are 3 tiers: Big12 and Big East in tier 1. SEC and ACC in tier 2. Pac12 and B10 tier 3. Something I said yesterday: 3 competent D1 officials have about the same chance for a “good game” as 3 F4 refs. The difference is not all that great. | 1 |
| 1626411675216740354 | @HammerAndRails He may keep his composure, but he holds back everything that needs to be said. Speaking privately behind closed doors to the ones that can affect change does nothing. Change only occurs by calling it out publicly, applying pressure for action. I.e. Izzo | 1 |

| 1624893312388722689 | @HammerAndRails And how many of those 16 turnovers were actual turnovers and not the player getting the shit knocked out of him on a no call? | 28 |
