Nice statement tonight by the Royals.

[Rofrog]

Ronk didnt see to many flaws tonight? Alot different in person. That game against Cabrini was terrible officiating period .Question-why are these refs told before a game they are being evaluated or monitored?

[ronk]

York wasn't nearly as strong as last year w/o their 2 bigs; no one to stop Mancuso in the paint. York would be leading the Centennial if they were in it, having defeated Dickinson, Johns Hopkins, Gettysburg, and F&M, already.
Royals continue up tempo, running in transition, finding the open man; Jackson hot early from 3. Turnovers returned in 2nd half with some behind the back passes but Royals continue to be very entertaining to watch.

York broadcasting team was top notch as well.

So nice to see a clear picture & have audio coming through perfectly as opposed to our broadcasts that emanate from Sputnik.

So the Royals at 7-0 for the first time since the early 90s, thumped York and you are complaining about the broadcast? Are you channeling our friend Cold_Case from beyond?

 I mentioned the audio to Dean last night; he thought they had improved things on Saturday after the problem earlier in the week.

Officials are being "monitored" or "evaluated" at all times - on site and/or via video. They don't need to be "told" anything.

[Rofrog]

Yes,But my question  is why let them know?Dave for instance will not mention his name but there was 45 fouls in Scranton vs Cabrini I mean this guy was show boating and I would to if I new someone was watching me, it took 2 and half hours to complete this game!This guy went to the official desk more times then I go thru McDonalds drive thru in a month.All I'm looking for is consistancy.

If that's true, it's not the kind of behavior that will get evaluated well.  He wasn't doing it to show off to other officials - that's for sure.

Yeah - I find officials who know there is a monitor on-site don't tend to showboat. They are already showboats. Hell, I'd venture I know who you are talking about ... but sadly, there are a few I know who are showboats, so that could be a dart contest to figure out who it is.

And as Ryan noted - it will be evaluated and noted anyway. I know of quite a few officials who have been knocked down a few pegs even when they don't realize they are being evaluated.

Oh, and the trump card: coaches can submit video examples of issues whenever they want.

[NEPAFAN]

I took a look at Scranton from a bunch of undefeated teams for the ballot this week ... and had the same thought: who have they played? I also dismissed the result against Stevenson for now as the Mustangs are picked to finish at the bottom of the MAC Commonwealth. That doesn't mean it will be true, but I also know Stevenson has been struggling in recent years and I want to see what they actually put together this season first.

So ... I got left thinking, "I'm not sure I can vote for them with that resume right now." Scranton wasn't the only one. There were a lot of undefeated teams I didn't vote for. I'm not throwing votes towards Amherst, Millsaps, Lynchburg, or others right now.

There are a LOT of teams undefeated right now. There are also a LOT of teams who are good. Cracking the Top 25 is far more difficult now. Not individual ballots, but getting 25 voters to think the same way with so much parity these days.

Curious what the win at York did to your thinking

[Rofrog]

I think they would have to beat Villanova by 40 before you start getting votes for Scranton!

[Rofrog]

 In the top 25

[Rofrog]

I will say the York announcer praised Scranton and compared them to a team like Hamilton!
