Post-game comment by Cal's coach

Somebody mentioned UT/UConn??

Back when I followed UT more, I'd get SO aggravated at the reffing, period!! I tuned int to watch the Vols beat the Huskies....not to be jobbed, and not to have the Huskies hamstrung. I wanted good basketball!!!

The refs, would always, ALWAYS tag the bigs with ticky-tack fouls. After that, it largely went to homer-town reffing.

Another big disappointment was a Jayne Appel game with UT...both her and UT's big were non-factors, both getting horrible nothing calls.

The really awful part of the Cal game??

Cal's posts were dominant players when given a chance to play. Peters got away with murder, but even that can be tolerated if the bigs get their touches.

The reality is those bigs drew a lot of fouls not called, such as holds, over-the-backs, and arm-slaps.

I supposed the refs are going to have a difficult time deciding against Notre Dame's next opponent, the Bonnies of St. Bonaventure. Maybe, with school president Sister Margaret Carney, helping work the side lines. Should ND and UC meet up for a 4th time, it may help UConn if the Huskies changed their name to the St. Genos. Anyway, in Geno and in Geno's mouth we trust. With the Cal game, we have others, the viewers, see for themselves. We have a witness, we aren't crazy after all.

But Geno is one of the Luminatti.

Glad I am not the only one with that impression of the UL-MD game.

I like the post, but I hate the reminder. It was beyond frustrating [sic] to watch her get away with it time and time again and draw a foul to boot!

Does Geno park his Luminatti next to his Bugatti?

Anyone know if the coaches have any say in ref selection? I was reading the CIAC HS tourney rules; sounds like there is a process where coaches can put in their two cents as to who is recommended to ref the games, and who they would not recommend. Or is this handled solely by the NCAA?

Of course, still cannot guarantee that once the game starts, a ref won't get caught up in the home town excitement, but it might keep the more blatant abusers out of the games, and give the others something else to keep in mind.

Ditto. L'ville wins that game on a neutral court, with fair officiating.

The biggest weakness in the women's tournament is allowing teams to play on their home courts. I understand why it's done but that doesn't make it right or fair.

While Geno's mom sprinkles some holy water...

I think Geno needs to bring an Exorcist because clearly Notre Dame has made a deal with the devil.

Probably not consciously, but they are. That's what home-field advantage really is: more calls go against the visiting team, in every sport.

They are clearly the Green Evil Empire.

They use alternative energy sources? I shudder to think! Everyone wants to be green these days.

i watched that game also and definitely disagree. Louisville and UMD were going at it but neither the announcers nor any reputable source as even hinted that somehow this was a homer win. just the usual uconn side spitting on UMD. by the way, i think that iceboar guy said Louisville would win that game due their much defense and much better coaching. after all, you folks think walz won the NC while at UMD, not Freeze, don't you? eat some crow folks.

Three points: first, punctuation 1fan, punctuation. It makes your post easier to read, please.
Second, you don't sound the least bit impartial in the matter, which makes it difficult to take your criticism seriously. Boneyarders make like U of L, or Jeff, or dislike Brenda or UMD, but our team isn't playing in the game (obviously), so, whatever "dog we have in the fight" is, at best, our first cousin's dog. You sound like a Maryland fan, plain and simple. (I know, I know, but, I'll be good.)

Third, for a first post, this surely wasn't designed to win friends, influence people, or even start a spirited debate. This is more of a Halloween drive-by, throwing eggs at somebody's house. Kinda juvenile, foolish, and pointless.

Yes, I am a male bear (boar), thanks for noticing, but the name is icebear. On the other hand you are the perfect example of a Maryland fan and a bore or boorish who thinks that wit is measured in rudeness. Yes, I expected L-ville, the sixth place team in the Big East, to beat Maryland and they played them quite closely as a 7 seed to MD's 2 seed. A 4 point win doesn't earn Maryland many bragging points for that game.

Gee, that sounds familiar.

Now that is a bad Ref, Hope it was her last game . My first try at a link, I hope I got it right
