Kentucky Coach John Calipari gave a strong thumbs up when asked about the officiating in the SEC this season.
“By far the best officiating I’ve been associated with,” he said.
Calipari added that he had no ulterior motive — such as getting a break from referees in the future – when he said that.
“Officials don’t have anything to do with where we are,” he said.
When asked if fan reaction a good gauge for determining the quality of the officiating, Calipari noted that strong reaction to video replays can be an accurate gauge

I guess compared to the Atlantic 10 and Conference USA the refs have to be better in the SEC, right?
