Dis anyone see the Bouknight technica

[upstater]

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?

The ref saw the whole thing though.

 

[KembaStepback]

Our starting pg can’t go 1-7 and we blame the refs for losing. That doesn’t make sense.

Why are these things mutually exclusive? Both can be true.

 

[JB75]

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.

Weak ass call. So he chirped a bit and lightly clapped his hands. We’re not in religion class. Dumb call. And on the flipside Jarreau with his booty shorts said something under his breath to Hurley - Hurley pointed out And jarreau got teed too- I thought that was BS too. But before when he was blatantly clapping in one of our guys faces - nothing happened. Awful refs. Still Would’ve found a way to lose but awful awful refs

Good teams don't even give the refs the chance to make that call.

Uh I think the phrase "quit being such a little beotch" might have come to mind. That said, it gave us another shot to win the game, so ...

 

[JB75]

Bouknight doesn’t strike me as the guy to be like that- now if it was Vital you were talking about -?different story. And they still never showed what bouk did. After watching that game last night we’re going to trust the refs to make that call ? yeah OK. And good teams don’t do any posturing at all ? yeah OK

 

[businesslawyer]

Good teams don't even give the refs the chance to make that call.

And players important to their teams with 4 fouls keep their mouths shut no matter what is said to them and don't give the refs a chance to make that call.

 

[Kembacity]

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

To me it looked like Bouk and the Cougar were joking with each other as they walked toward the UConn side for FTs, Bouk peeled away to wait at half court and the Houston guy kept jabbering more and more as he lined up for the FT. As he finishes still jabbering, 20-30ft from Bouk, the double tech is called. To me it seemed like that Houston guy got more and more vicious with whatever he was saying that by the end of it the ref there felt a call had to be made, but Bouk is 25 feet away at this point and hasn't said a word in 12 seconds.

This play and Bouk's 4th foul should've been somehow officially complained about. I'm so sick of seeing this ridiculous calls and these guys just go on with their lives. If I did my job as poorly as they did for one day, I'd be rightfully fired. Where is the standard?

Bouk pretty clearly instigates it. He's moving and clapping and turns to Gresham while clapping, makes direct eye contact with Gresham, then says something. Then Gresham chips back and Bouk walks away (and Vital moves him away). Gresham keeps talking, and the ref calls double technical.

We don't know what was said, but the cameras did previously catch the refs warning both teams. That's key. It's not worth a tech normally, but if the refs warned the players, especially about taunting & clapping, and then Bouk claps and taunts, he's earned that tech even if he walks away after.

 

[Huskies4ever]

What happened?

The immaturity of Bouk cost us the game. Our offense is so much better with him in it. He had 4 fouls. Just walk away, unless you want to sit on the bench. Bet Hurley's pissed. And we have Kansas and Kansas St to thank for that. Refs will be trying to squash the trash talking to avoid the melee that occurred the other night.

 

[joober jones]

The exchange between Bouknight and the Houston player didn't seem all that heated. The double T was a ridiculous call

 

[AZHuskiePop]

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.

No they weren’t
A look at the foul totals and T’s makes this beyond ridiculous.
Carlton got 3 quick ones and got to play 12 minutes
Bouknight, Wilson, and Vital all fouled out
Adams and Whaley had 4 each.
That not acceptable officiating on any level.
That’s officials imposing themselves on the game

So many touch fouls and screens but Vital getting hit on every drive no calls. The number of fouls is one thing but what they determined to call was insane.

And they called a CARRY on Al. Is this 6th grade travel?

I was just trying to make a Prima Facie case for poor officiating without the use of anything subjective.

 

[Hoops91]

I watched him get Technical at USF this year. Same type of thing - he was bitching at the ref at the game - guy in front of me, close to the UCONN bench yells some BS out, the ref turned around to Hurley and Teed him up. Hurley was asking the refs for about 10 minutes after what he said to get the technical. I told the guy in front off me I’m pretty sure u just gave Hurley that tech- Sh!tty refs sometimes

 

[Kitaman]

The ref saw the whole thing though.

Yeah but I bet he didn't hear it though. Hurley did a great job in 'tattling'.

If I was the player I would have told the ref that all I said was "you're playing a great game". But he wasn't smart enough (hence his dumb move).

Also that had to be one of the most ballsy techs I've ever seen called. Sure it probably was deserving, but if they would have lost, that would have been historic and certainly nationally televised replays and newsworthy.

Sampson wanted to murder that player. Also shows why coaching ain't easy.

It was a crazy tech, but he almost had to call it.

Hurley's earlier tech for complaining about taunting was made glaringly worse when Bouk got that tech from 50-feet away. I'm sure the refs told both teams, "One more incident and you get a tech."

At that point, the ref had to call it. You could tell the huge difference in our offense after Bouk went out.

Last night's game was not enjoyable for me. Hard to invest in these games, and I'm not talking about the losing. I actually believe UConn got more than its share of calls last night. But some of the calls were absolutely nuts. For instance, Vital coming in from out of bounds. You need two feet in to reset. He took 6 and was almost to the free throw line before he caught the ball.

 

[Huskygamble19]

Can't wait to get away from these AAc refs. That was a total sh$$t show they displayed in that game. They practically handed that game to Houston. the blatant clapping in the face of Gaffney and nothing called. Don't let the door hit you in the $ worthless AAC refs.

What game did you watch?

The officials were terrible and some calls were bad for high school hoops.

I was at the USF game courtside in the opposite corner from UConn bench. The ref that t'd up Danny came over to that side with a smile on his face, he enjoyed his moment

 

[mauconnfan]

Like the Donny Marshall clap technical?

I was at that game at PCC. He most definitely deserved his T. Donny playing was one of those guys you liked because he was a Husky but would've hated if he was at another BE school LOL

 

[nelsonmuntz]

What game did you watch?

I was watching the game on Thursday night.

We sound ridiculous as a fan base when we blame the refs after every single game UConn loses. I will rip officials, but only when it is systematic bias in the way they were calling the game. The Houston/UConn game refs may have missed some calls, but they were not biased.

I can give examples. The UConn/Texas 2003 Sweet 16 game was one of the worst officiated games I can ever remember. Texas' front court was assaulting Okafor on both ends and nothing was getting called. Calhoun got a technical early in the second half, and the officiating the rest of the game was much more balanced. He should have done it earlier. That is what a poorly officiated game looks like.

I laughed my ass off when Donny slapped the St. Johns player. It was stupid and obnoxious and he was definitely going to get busted, but it was so funny.

Could you imagine giving someone a tech for something as minor as saying two words to the coach in that type of situation late? Ballsy ref. And they were at home!!!
