Hurley never did this!

Is it too much to suggest that a certain level of incompetence assumes the risk of lunatics being lunatics?

Missing the two fouls before was not, and the contact that they did call was minimal in comparison to what they ignored. It was a clown show.

i haven’t been able to find a good replay of the two potential fouls before the shot. At game speed, it’s hard to see if the defender really made contact. Honestly, indefensible that the defender wasn’t able to make harder and more obvious contact up the floor. You’re trying to foul, foul him!

He grabbed the jersey and then the arm.

Still the wrong call on the shooting foul, due to a jump stop.

 
You never hear about repercussions for the refs. It would be nice to hear a statement from the NCAA saying 'the ref blew the call which affected the outcome of the game. They have been suspended and will not officiate until they have received the proper training to prevent this from happening again. We apologize to Notre Dame, the players and HC Micah Shrewsberry'.

The call was so insanely bad and instead we get 'lol Micah Shrewsberry is crazy!' even when this could have bubble implications in a few months.

I'm not shocked at Shrewsbury getting angry, but I am shocked at the number of objective UConn fans getting mad about a clear and obvious foul. If that went against UConn there would 3,000 posts in the first hour and a Congressional appeal filed to fire all referees involved

I’m more shocked at the hypocrisy of defending terrible officiating when it doesn’t apply to us.

Except it's not terrible officiating. Solo Ball has gotten that call about 25 times over the past few years and there were no complaints. When you impede a 3 point shooter on his shot it's a foul, even if it's the last seconds of a game

Some nuance here: they actually had 5 team fouls. They weren't fouling to put him on the line, they were fouling to take more time off the clock.

Makes it even worse that the defender did such a terrible job of fouling earlier. You can make a case that he fouled him on the hand before this but it was very minimal contact and his next attempt he grazed the Jersey, which wasn’t a foul. The Ole! Foul attempts put them in the situation.

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.

What's infuriating for the coach, and why his rage is justified (though not physically charging an official), is:
1) Neither of the first two swipes were called, while the third, with about equivalent levels of contact, was
2) The third foul was considered to be in the act of shooting, with a very generous interpretation of continuation
3) They originally (correctly) changed the call, before changing it back, adding further insult

Fair but not one thing Hurley has done has been as bad as what Shrewsbury did yesterday. Or what Cooley did last week. Mick Cronin complains more but gets 10% of the coverage, if that. Let’s all be honest with ourselves and just admit that it’s because Hurley is a winner that everyone wants to see him fail.

Absolute nonsense. Ball's fouls on three point shots are when he is landing, not before he even shoots the ball . Pay attention

One incident yes, but he looked pretty psychotic. Hurley also never hit a kid with a water bottle.

I hear you and I’d definitely be pissed if the same thing happened to UConn. I do think the defender did a horrible job of fouling earlier. The first swipe made marginal contact to the hand. Probably not called in normal game action but generally gets called when the team is clearly trying to foul. The second swipe he grazed the jersey (didn’t grab anything) and is not a foul ever. The defender got off balance and did a really bad job of fouling.

That said, I’m actually curious on the argument that it shouldn’t have been an and-1. The offensive player had picked up his dribble when contact occurred on the third swipe, did not jump stop, and only took one step after the contact and before the shot. Im struggling to understand the argument (taking away the earlier contact), that it shouldn’t have been continuation.

Yes, the officiating is pretty bad. But let’s call it the way it’s going to be seen. We excuse it when it’s old money that is at the current time part of the power structure.
