Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 2817654, member: 730"] I'm talking about style of play and you are complaining about officiating. Two different things. Don't you remember the LV's coming out to start the second half after a Pat tongue lashing. Their opponents would be lying on the court from aggressive contact as the LV's opened a double digit lead in a few minutes. And you must remember those end of game battles under the glass. The LV's would keep getting offensive boards until they scored. That's what I meant by brute force. The LV's were brutal under the glass. That's what Pat meant when she would tell the team that they had to "[I]want it more than the other team[/I]". I personally watched both Caine and Johnson body slam smaller players during a fight for a rebound, after which they straddled the player lying on the court and screamed at them. Both players were T'd up for it. It was all about physical intimidation. Pat preached it and her players responded with it. Tenn wasn't alone using that style, the SEC was notorious for uber physical play. I would see the same thing when Duke played UNC. The refs were told to swallow their whistles. I'm not judging that type of play. It's just not what I enjoy watching. [/QUOTE]
