Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 4691541, member: 343"] I just really hate the way they are calling handling now. There was no intent to play the ball (i.e. moving hand/arm towards ball to play it), arm wasn't in an unnatural position, he wasn't trying to make himself bigger, his arm just happened to be a little bit away from his body when the ball ricocheted off the other player. That, specifically, a year or so ago, was supposed to NOT make it a handling call. That was never supposed to be the intent of what a handling penalty is . However, the first handling call, that one probably should have been. The push on Busio was a pretty weak call to bail them out. So it probably evened out. As for the game, we did out play them and probably deserved to win. Possession 68% to 32%. Shots 21/8 to 5/2. But we didn't play well. Thanks to Turner for bailing us out. [/QUOTE]
