Message: [QUOTE="ochoopsfan, post: 3112319, member: 420"] Where did I ever say the foul was intentional? I questioned whether she knew the rules of a flagrant foul is(unsportsmanlike foul is the correct terminology in the womens game). My actual post was [I][B]If she doesnt know what the rules of a flagrant foul are, considering how many games she covered, perhaps she shouldnt question it.[/B][/I] Never did I say it was an intentional foul. actually it was Ms Vopel who said it was "intentional" in her tweet. [USER=25593665][B]Mechelle Voepel[/B]‏ @[B]MechelleV[/B][/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/MechelleV/status/1111787888990191616']Mar 29[/URL] Was that really a flagrant foul by Drummer? She went up on the pump fake and had nowhere else to go coming down. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Didn't seem intentional at all.[/COLOR][/B] The actual wording of the rule is--- A flagrant 1 foul (men's) or unsportsmanlike foul (women's) [B]involves excessive or severe contact during a live ball, including especially when a player "swings an elbow and makes illegal, [U]non-excessive contact with an opponent above the shoulders"[/U][/B] There doesnt have to be any intentional action by a player to commit an unsportsmanlike foul. If one is going to go to social media and question a ruling she sees in a game( a game she has covered since 1984), I would hope she at least knows the rules. I also said I could be wrong about her bias to UConn and KLS. I will take your word that she doesnt have a bias as I have read your posts here and other forums for many years and respect your opinion. Best wishes to Duke down the road. They have a player, Jada Adams, who played with Lou at Mater Dei for a year or two . I root for her too. [/QUOTE]
