Exactly. That was an embarrassing call.

It was a bad call but Burrell was bumping Boat prior to that. After the whistle. The way he came up on Nolan was uncalled for. Refs had their eye on him from play before.

Still a bad call. Can't call a tech there either. Refs should have waited for him to do something else

yeah before the ball was inbounded he was in boats face and his teammates pushed him away

yeah i really would rather not have these two do the game... give me doris burke :rolleyes:

Why? It was a flagrant1, not a 2. We've seen those exact same plays called on Uconn before. The player is unprotected. You simply can't hit him from behind even if you're going for the ball. That's textbook.

Because ive seen the same play (dont say you havent) many times and not seen it called a flagrant. I think this has been a terribly officiated game.

I see it called a flagrant1 all the time. In fact I wrote that in the post you responded to.
 
Get used to him. He and Patrick are the "A" crew for the American. They are probably going to call the entire conference tournament.
 
.-.
I have not liked him since 2011 regarding the ban and Calhoun he said some things that I felt were inappropriate and made it very clear that he was not a fan of uconn. He is a piece of u know what.
 
Burrel was a punk no doubt. He deserved the call and hey, he beat us tonight.

Len Elmore, who I like to listen to, was totally off base comparing Brimah's clean block to the of Godfrey. Brimah fell on the UM player after being pulled down and never committed a foul while Godfrey did with intention. Having said that I don't think the intention was to hurt Rodney but rather to make sure he didn't make the shot. I didn't have a problem with all that much.
 
I was at the game did Mike Patrick give his standard line?

"We got a chance to sit down with Daniel Hamilton before the game...what an EXCELLENT young man, I've gotta say just a great kid..."

Can we stop calling the Memphis kid a thug? He made a dumb play on the ball. Got a flagrant. I hate calling these kids thugs.

But their team truly is full of thugs. Burrell, Godfrey, Johnson are all 100% thugs, didn't see another name on the team last night
 
It'd be one thing just to call kids names, but when the shoe fits....

I mean the way I see it is this...I honestly have not seen a UConn player instigate or intentionally try to pick a fight with anyone in a long time. That comes back to coaching/recruiting. Calhoun and now Ollie do not stand for that kind of behavior. They don't recruit kids who act that way, either.

Not a fan of Elmore but the flagrant call on the Purvis play was a bit much.

Agreed, kid made a play on the ball and committed a hard foul.

He did not deserve a flagrant.

To be honest, the game was officiated horribly last night and it was completely in our favor. Losing a game where we were +20 FTA is pathetic.

I don't know how anybody could watch the replay on that and categorize it as a "hard foul." He smashed his body into Purvis at full speed when he knew Purvis was going for the dunk. It was EXTREMELY dangerous, and it could have easily resulted in a severe injury.
My guess is that it was intentional - he didn't need to make body contact, but he choose to.

Purvis happened to hit the pads, at full speed, at an angle and position that didn't catch any limbs at odd angles. It was lucky, and that's all.

G-d help these kids if body slamming people at full speed ever becomes acceptable as "hard fouling," because severe injuries occur at those speeds.

But were you watching the game? Most of their offense in the first half was wide open looks, you aren't going to get whistled for a foul if you arent playing defense. Similarly Brimah's blocks were some of his best, in the way that he didnt cause much contact with the shooter. I will say that at times I felt the calls were way in our favor, but then they showed a replay and the call was legitimate so good job refs. However, Memphis was moving picking all night, pushing off, there were a ton of touch fouls they could have called on them that they didn't, specifically on our drives in the first half. Refs were bad, but it wasn't as in our favor as it seemed, and the FT disparity had to do with the way the game was played, they were all over us, and a ton of our fouls in the second half werent great calls and came in non-shooting situations

Yes, I was at the game, outside of the last few minuets where some ticky tact were called against us, in non shooting situations, the whistle was very favorable to us all night, if you did not see that then you need to take off the UConn glasses.

The foul on Burrell against Nolan was an absolute joke.

Yes, Memphis played more physical than us which results in more fouls, but some were a joke, and I wish we played a lot more physical, I promise you if we did we would have more wins then we do this year.
 
Said it once & will say it again...the officiating in this league is AWFUL!

Sorry bud but live action at the game is one of the worst ways to tell how fair officiating is. You didn't see a single play after it was done, and if you did it was on a big screen that was very far away. There were a handful of calls that looked awful in our favor that really were good calls. The few plays in a row where their guys got 'hurt' but not really looked like we thrashed them, but we didn't at all.

The foul on Burrell while he came around Nolan was because he was talking trash to boatright for 2 minutes before they inbounded the ball, nolan wasn't moving, no struggle, he just felt the need to keep slapping at nolans arms and talking more and more trash. That could have been a no call, but it was a foul to stop play and tell the kid to play basketball, like one does when a ref is involved, not like they do in prison yards

And by thug he means goes to class, graduates, and stays out of trouble...that's how Pastner maintains a perfect APR.

I love our thugs...

I could have swore I posted a congrats thread after the game...

Well you certainly did not say to your friends or gf/wife.

That would require you leaving the house once or twice and not spending your life as a internet troll.

You even post on Texas AM message boards, ha, man I feel bad for you.

You started off as a decent contributor from a different fanbase, but at this point you're worthless on this board. You post supercilious congratulations, then troll, then defend your trolling by attempting to claim that all of your posts are innocuous and simply misunderstood. Congratulations on the big wins this year, enjoy your zero banners, see you again next year. You really have nothing more to add here, time to head back to your own board for good.

When your inanity began to make me long for the PC and Johnny nuts on this board instead, that's when you officially jumped the shark.

Yeah, but how do you REALLY feel?
