Did Draymond Green foul out?
When Draymond Green got called for his offensive foul with about 10 minutes to go yesterday, I turned to my buddy and said something to the effect of that's huge because that's his 4th. The talking heads at CBS then said it was his third so I was a little confused and just moved on. After hearing some talk about it this morning I started checking play by plays and saw that CBS said his 5th came with 7:10 left. They have fouls on him at 18:53 and 3:33 in the first and 19:09 (tech), 10:14, and 7:10.

The WWL said he had 4 with 1 in the first half with 18:53 left and with 19:09, 10:14, and 7:10 left in the 2nd half. The foul that CBS has at 3:33, was charged to Brandon Kearny.

Does anyone else have any info on this? Did a foul get switched from Green to Kearny? I haven't had time to watch a replay yet, but I am going to do that tonight. In the end it doesn't really matter, but if the officials on the sideline really missed this then I think some sort of repercussions are in order. Anyone have something I missed?
this is a great question- i wondered how many fouls he had- it seemed like it had to be his 5th at the end there.
that game was so poorly officiated it was unbelievable. tom eades and ted valentine are the worst officials in the NCAA. they need to get those morons out of the big ten. both were responsible for calling some awful foul calls from midcourt that "occurred" under the hoop. it was bad both ways. sully should have got his 4th when he was guarding nix, but they gave it to thomas. even though it wasnt a foul on sully, if there was a foul on the play i dont know how it could result in 2 free throws if it wasn't on sully.
i dont remember ever being so upset during games because of officiating in the past as i have this season. maybe im just getting grumpier......
It was like the Indiana game all over again, at least the refs were consistent with the bad call on both teams. Actually helped Ohio State by sitting Sulli down since Rav was the man!

I completely agree, the officiating in the B1G has been TERRIBLE this year and Valentine, send him to officiate kid's friendly house games!
My biggest problem with B1G officiating this year has been the inconsistency. I understand there is going to be a difference between crews and games but it changes by the half or every ten minutes sometimes. There will be times where you can get away with murder and then all of the sudden you can't breathe on your man without getting a foul. The game Sunday was no different
Also I apologize for the formatting in the original post. I'm at my internship so I'm posting from my phone. It showed up ok when I typed it and then changed after I posted it.
