Fouls Fouls Fouls

Morrow is 6'1", and what you mean she is a much smaller freshman? UConn 5 starters only ONO and Droka are taller then she.

I doubt you have watched last night game since you said "there were no fouls committed during the majority of times that she just out hustled us to the ball". This is totally not true.

I believe Caroline is 6’ 2”.

Kind of like getting a trophy for showing up! This new generation is going to suffer in the long run. You can't have 'constructive' criticism without being pounced on, because it might hurt 'little johnny's' psyche! But in the long run, telling little johnny that he's doing great (aka "good job") isn't making him better. It's stifling him and his potential to be better.

Wow I am of that same opinion and voiced it. It was not received well. Good job John, Jane when it’s not ,is not doing one thing to help this child grow and learn to improve.

Even a slight improvement in officiating would improve the game. My wish would include...a free throw for flopping. A no-call for plays where the defense is retreating and the offensive player initiates contact to get a foul. For starters, it just contradicts the whole idea of freedom of movement for the offense, when they choose to run into someone intentionally. Why can an offensive player run through the defense, but the defense can't run through them?

And...more of a rule issue versus officiating is the length and number of timeouts. It's worse when there are tv timeouts. Why is a 30-second timeout 3 minutes? I've seen games where the last 2-3 minutes of a game took 20 minutes to finish! Lastly, I don't think a team with no timeouts left should be able to request a review under 2 minutes. Teams are using it as a timeout and could care less about the review.

Must be different refs today in the St. John's vs DePaul game. DePaul has 9 team fouls vs St. John's 4, going into the 4th quarter at 69 each.

I would pay good money to have camera's installed on a ref's head and then have the fans watching click a button every time they see a foul.

Also, UConn's bigs need to KEEP THEIR HANDS STRAIGHT UP.

As they say, "you had better watch what you ask for. You may get it." Ono in particular, has done a great job this year of blocking shots the right way with hands up. Watch Nikka manhandle her player. If you called a foul every play, she could be out of each game by halftime.
