Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4868312, member: 10"] The joke at the time was that referees were going to start trying to read players' minds to know what they're thinking to call technicals. [I]Two games in 1994 showed UConn's resiliency. UConn led at [URL='https://www.ctpost.com/search/?action=search&channel=uconn&inlineLink=1&searchindex=property&query=%22Providence+College%22']Providence College[/URL] by five with 18.1 seconds to go in regulation. Donny Marshall committed a foul with 11 seconds left. No big deal. Marshall smiled and clapped, much like his coach does when he disagrees with a call. Bang. Referee [URL='https://www.ctpost.com/search/?action=search&channel=uconn&inlineLink=1&searchindex=property&query=%22John+Cahill%22']John Cahill[/URL] assessed a technical foul to Marshall. The officials had warned Donny to stop refereeing the game at least two times earlier in the contest. Donyell loved Donny but after the technical the entire team including its All-American player wanted to strangle the other Marshall. Providence made three of the four free-throws and trailed by two. Because of the technical, it retained possession and hit a three-pointer to take a one-point lead with 8.8 seconds left. Timeout, Connecticut.[/I] Spoiler alert. Ollie went the length of the court and scored to win it. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctpost.com/uconn/article/book-reveals-calhoun-s-strong-influence-upon-ollie-3925578.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
