I think you're absolutely right about refs calling in anticipation or just by situation. One of the worst calls I ever saw occurred back in the day at Yanatelli. The player involved I remember very clearly was Mark Murphy.

He was fielding a hard pass right in front of us. He must not have known exactly where he was on the floor, because as he went up to control the ball he kind of balanced on foot as if he was close to line and didn't want cross it. He was of course a good foot and half in bounds, but the ref, whose name I've mercifully forgotten, from the other side of the floor, called him out of bounds...all he could possibly have seen was Mark balancing and from that decided that he must have been out...

One of the worst 'anticipation calls'... Seattle, 1989, Men's Championship Game.... Rumeal Robinson was not fouled by Gerald Greene, Mr Clougherty, ... I was there by pure chance. The Hall should have won.... (brother went to SHU & played on freshman team, so I still root for them in all but 1 game a year)

I didn't think too much about the refs during the game.Trying to recall,they were particularly hard on Bacon,three of whose calls ,which took him out of most of the game, could be best described as of the touch variety.One was a bump near mid court early that had little effect on anything and could have been let go...if anythng though it could be described as stupid. His fourth was away from the ball,where he appeared to get tangled up and a jersey was stretched. Looked worse than it was...could have been called either way or not at all.
Last was a positioning call underneath that would not have been called in the Big East.
Two other calls that I remember were what were once called force outs.Hall bring the ball up the sideline with pressure was bumped and forced to step out another Peacock,might have been Jenkins diving the baseline was"moved " laterally while he was in the air and forced to step out.Neither was a hard foul but both caused turnovers.
The play that could have been critical was Hall's open breakaway to the basket near the end of the game. I didn't get a good angle on it and I don't think the ref did either,but it looked like a goaltend--Dunne was irate but stopped short, not needing a T.
In general though,I think the players on this team are disciplined and seldom complain or question calls.Perhaps Jenkins a bit more than others ,but not to any great extent. In my opinion many of his complaints are questions regarding the lack of contact calls he gets when going to the hoop.
