They have a team that they like/enjoy and there is no escaping it. Fortunately for us, in terms of basketball, there are checks & balances to this. Years come & go where you can sense that a majority of officials either like us or don't. I always got the sense that during the 80's, we could just about count on getting the call, or they would at least allow us to play tougher defense than our opponents, resulting in less fouls called on our guys. I do not think it is currently that way though, as teams are generally allowed to play us very physical, usually not resulting in a lot of fouls called against our opponent. It seems to me that any time we venture out of the ACC, we get better officiating. But like all things, the pendelum will swing back in our favor at some point.
