Hurley never did this!

[Woof 101]

I’m not following your point. He commits the foul after the dribble is picked up and right before the right foot comes down. Then the left foot comes down and then he goes up with a shot. His hand being off him doesn’t impact whether the basket should have counted.

The basket should have counted and a foul never called, just my opinion. The game officiating has changed so much over the years it is mind boggling. Yes my age will show here but I could care less. As I remember when basketball players had to be tough but it was a game of ballet with a ball.
My point here is players bang, wrap arms, shoulder bump, pull jerseys, travel, palm the ball of which is never called. For 38 minutes the officials only call assault and the last 2 minutes a defender chasing a ball handler down the court can reach out and pat him on the butt and the whistle blows! Hard to understand.

Hurley had a pattern of his outbursts that the media started covering.

This is one incident from a coach.

If another coach starts stacking up multiple instances the way Hurley did at a point then the media should for sure cover it the same way.

Hurley has been a million times better this year thankfully and our team is even better for it.

Hurley, unfortunately, is more expressive with his whining, but let's not act like the majority of coaches don't say the same, or worse. Hurley needed to cut down on being so demonstrative during games (which he has the last three years).

Since no one has said it yet, I will:

Ref appears to be Justin Porterfield… the same incompetent who swallowed the whistle when Kiyan Anthony got karate chopped by the Hofstra player at the end of the Southern Canada loss to the FlyingDutchPride.

That's kind of a moot point when we know the defender was trying to commit a foul. I agree the earlier fouls should have been called too. But arguing it's not a foul is weird when those touch fouls are called 10 times a game as intentional fouls in those end of game situations. The argument is whether the foul should have been ruled a continuation

The guy was clearly trying not to foul the shooter. He was trying to foul while the ballhandler was dribbling and then he put his hands in the air and kept his body distance to show he was doing his best not to foul the shooter. It's perverse for the official to ignore the weak girly hand swipes that were intentional attempts at fouling and to call the accidental hand movement that he was trying to avoid.

So he put his hand on his hip trying to avoid fouling him, great strategy!

No he was trying to foul him while he was dribbling and trying not to foul when he went into the act of shooting. He was following the guy and harassing him with his hands as the guy dribbled, but as soon as he saw the guy start to assemble himself for a shot, he immediately pulled his hands away and stood his body upright and held his hands in the air. The ref has to be a real to call that. Or in the pocket of the home team. If a hand-check is not a foul on the dribbler, it's not a foul on the shooter.

You try to foul in that area after you had 60 feet of the court you get what you deserve

Regardless of the call, the players and student managers having to restrain the coach from assailing the ref is absolutely ridiculous - and I love it. I love everything that makes ND (and BC) look bad.
