Thanks for this. Your research backs up what my lyin' eyes have been telling me the foul dynamics this season. It's really hard to get good stats on area because of so many puts and takes to the context - but across D1 in aggregate loosing teams foul about 1-2 times more per game than winning teams. Mostly due to clock saving efforts at the end of games. And Providence is 12-15 and a loosing team this year...
Culture needs to move away from blame shifting of refs. It's a tough season, frustration is high - and we are arguing balls and strikes to much as a result. Understandable, but not productive. I was at Providence / Georgetown last week and Coach English, Barron and Pierre's complaining on calls was the defining feature of the game for a long stretch in the second half.
