Dis anyone see the Bouknight technica

[seeya27]

What happened?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He clapped in the general area of a Houston player and the look at me ref saw a look at me moment

 

[calluke]

It looked like he clapped. Not sure if something was said to go along with that.

 

[UconnU]

Literally nothing happened. Some Houston player was yapping at Bouk and Bouk said maybe one or two words back and clapped and they called a double tech. They also called a totally phantom 4th(?)foul on Bouk where the offensive player clearly pushed off.

 

[Kitaman]

It was a double tech, I believe jaw jacking by both players. I saw lips moving but of course I'm no lip reader.

 

[calluke]

Aac refs are just not good.

This. The 4th foul was an awful call. One among many but really agregious.

 

[Palatine]

Clapping was not a technical when the Houston player did it boldly in Gaffney's face. It was a foul when Bouk was much less demonstratively.

 

[BNich]

Didn't a Houston player clap in Gaffney's face and Hurley got a tech?

 

[UCLJ0211]

What happened?

He was breathing and got T’d up

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

How pissed would we be if another coach told the ref “hey he said something to me!” And our guy got a T like Hurley did?

Houston player clapped aggressively directly in Gaffney's face, UConn bench gets a tech. Bouknight lightly clapping and walking away from Houston players is a game losing technical somehow

 

[tykurez]

Most theatrical refs I’ve witnessed this year. Was like they just came from a screening of Cats.

Pretty pissed. The refs were beyond awful. They missed calls all night long, made phantom calls, were completely inconsistent, seemingly felt a need to keep the foul count “even” by calling a flurry of touch fouls against whatever team had less fouls at a given moment, and had no working concept of what is and is not a technical foul.

 

[Jaker]

Someone should have picked up a chair

 

[JB75]

I kno we say this all the time about the refs but that was one of worst officiated games I’ve seen in quite some time. Still don’t know what bouk did to get that tech.

 

[Devland]

I don't know what, But something happened. Vital wasn't pushing Bouknight away from saying nothing. I wouldn't doubt if the refs were told to call it tight after the Kansas-Kansas St game.

 

[HooperScooper]

Like the Donny Marshall clap technical?

 

[willie99]

Aac refs are just not good.

you're being kind

 

[seeya27]

Calhoun was T'd up for sarcastic clapping. That was one chapter in a long running feud between JC and the ref if I recall.

As someone earlier noted, the KU - KSU incident was probably top of mind today.

Stop blaming the refs. They were fine. Both teams and one of the coaches (ours) were behaving like idiots, which makes it a tough game to officiate. Bouk can not get a T, especially when he already has 4 fouls. Hurley is out of control, and he sets the tone for everyone else.

Let alone that fourth foul was a phantom call! Total BS!

You watched that game and thought they were fine?? I STRONGLY disagree. The technicals were terrible. The bigger issue is blowing the whistle every time down the floor. Game had no flow because of it. These refs need to let these guys play a little...when they don't iti kills the game.

Houston games are not going to have any flow to them. That is Houston's flow. The two choices for the refs are let Houston beat the crap out of UConn's players, or call it tight and turn it into a free throw/attrition contest. It was an ugly game, and I didn't agree with a lot of the officials calls, but it doesn't mean they were bad refs. A lot of the calls were just judgment calls. That is basketball.

We can't get 2 T's, and one of our best players can't foul out on a technical for taunting.

Oh...not to mention. After the 5 second call, Sampson called timeout. Which means Carlton SHOULD have been able to be subbed back in. Refs blew it again.

Yes Houston is physical, but they were calling some very minor minor fouls and letting other plays go that were obvious fouls. I'm not saying the refs are why we lost, I just think the refs have been consistently abysmal in conference play.
