Gillespie push-offs

What would we have done that Sanogo or Whaley didn't do.

Maybe put the ball in the hoop and draw some “and ones”. Offensively speaking, Josh Carlton is the best and most experienced big guy on the team. How does Sanogo miss so many bunnies? That lob shot of his he has down and he rarely misses it if he doesn’t have to put the ball on the floor or if he tries to kiss anything off the backboard. Only guy I ever saw miss a 3 foot jumper by two feet is Isaiah Whaley.

He’s very effective and hard to play against (and watch).

I thought Gilbert owned him last year and I know we don’t have an on-ball defender like that with this team. Our guys continued to bite on that pump fake.

It makes no sense to me when guys 6`8+ are getting pump faked by a guy barely sniffing 6`. It was absolutely infuriating.
 
You almost have that with Santogo when, he just goes straight up for a thunderous dunk instead of backing off the rim with a dribble. Looks like he is afraid of getting blocked. Seems to be a good foul shooter and nice footwork. He will pay good dividends after some serious work with the coaches.

I like Santogo, also think highly of Daffney, BJ Hole, and Nukenight.

someone should send that picture from the Athletic to the refs from the game. And they call themselves professionals. Whaley got hit trying a low block shot midway through the second half, no call and they give Jackson his 5th on a lot less.

cuz this (picture) is a defensive foul. not.
Villanova rallies to beat UConn in Big East matchup – The Athletic
in my playing experience, if not me, then another team mate, after seeing this garbage for a period or more, we just get a running start, fake trip, then knock his back to grammar school, foul, flagrant, etc, be dammed. park city style.

I'm repeating myself from another thread, but I don' t understand why our man guarding him (Cole was one I remember down low near the basket) doesn't anticipate the second or third hard shoulder to the chest and step away.
Gillespot would lose his balance, fall down or travel. But nooooooooo, we just let him do it repeatedly.

That’d be a foul on Cole

Since yesterday I have been keeping my eyes open to the calls or non calls for similar Gillespie backdown bumping in other games, and whether refs are calling it or letting it go. So far, in a handful of observations, it seems like a player's size is the determining factor. Dickinson just got called offensive for a similar bump even with his defender inside the circle. His bump was firm to gain advantage, but not displacing, same as Gillespie. I admit I am biased to the defense, just like I believe in verticality and that an offensive player shouldn't get a call when they jump into a defender and create the contact. Maybe a no call for a bump, but in my very important opinion, it should be a definite foul when you go into a guy's chest 3-4x to gain advantage.

RJ flopped once in the second half when I think Thomas backed him down and got the O foul. RJ needs a little Kemba in him to get those calls

and iffn someone is regularly doing that knee to knee part in the pic, look closely, folks like me would just deck him, in full view of everrone. bounce me , fine me, sue me. who cares? i don't. call the lawyers, take some of my cash, again, who cares.
this is how we do it:

On the second or third shoulder shove Kemba would have been laying in the second row laughing his arse off!

If Sanogo and Whaley were better actors, Gillespie could have had four fouls at halftime. I’m not clear on the rules but it seems illegal for a 6ft guard to dribble backwards from the top of the key and push the defender with his butt, shoulder, and elbow all the way to the basket.
 
I'll take Gillespie and any his twin brothers on my team any day
His bumping is obviously above board because he's been doing it for 3 seasons and it is never being called. If he wore a UConn uniform there would be zero issue with it.
He's the type of determined hard nosed kid who plays with little fanfare, can shoot the J and is a stabilizing source that Dan Hurley seems to have ignored to date.

And that’s the point: it’s so obvious that the announcer stated it as fact, because it is, and it went unchallenged.

He is pushing off, charging, whatever you want to call it, but it’s usually an offensive foul. This guy got the defense called for it.

I’m not blaming him; they let him do it.

I‘d like to think our coach would say something about it to one of the officials after maybe a dozen times or so, but I guess not.

It depends on the referee crew. UConn was just unlucky in that respect yesterday. Fact is Gillespie has been whistled for a foul 235 times and still counting in his 4 years at Villanova. Almost half to three quarters of his turnovers (had 60 last season) are offensive fouls btw. If Jay Wright wasn’t his coach he’d probably be in the 300’s. He’s fouled out or at least sat on the bench in foul trouble in many many games, depending on whose blowing the whistle. That being said, he is a terrific shooter and is smart. I wish we had him.

He's a slow white guy that can't jump, so they let him play like that

It's only fair

Polley had 1 block while guarding him (that wasn’t in the box score). He was long enough to make up for his lack of speed.

Dribble push off too get closer dribble push off get closer fake a shot and jump into chest of defender. simple ploy to draw a foul. It has been his game for a long time.

When you think about it Shaq made a career of doing the same thing in a much larger way. Shaq was a human charge as are most players now. How it’s allowed to move a defender who is square a couple feet back and solid is beyond me. It’s a charge period but basketball allows things now that are crazy. This as well as how the now allow the 2nd guy on FTs push the advantaged man under the basket now? Start blowing the whistle on these fouls again please.

He does have a Christian Laetner air about him, doesn't he.

I kinda disagree, Laetner was a punk, Gillespie is more gangsta. He outright punked our guards, just bullying them without repercussion (refs or players). It was painful to watch.

I do respect that he didn't trash talk or add any demonstrative celebratory signs. He just kept on doing his thing in silent mode.
