Kudos for Dolson

I wish people would get over that. They were not flopping the way people here imagine they were. I posted about that after I rewatched the game. The only time any Baylor kid arguably hit the deck when there was no contact was when KML was swinging her elbows. The other time they fell when we had the ball was when their kid fell and was called for a block. So if it was a flop, it did them no good. Watch the game over and you'll see that Baylor kids were on the floor maybe 5 times the whole game, and 3 of those were in loose ball scrambles. The 2 times Sims was given 3 foul shots was after our kids made bad lunges at her on 3 point attempts and certainly put her off balance even if they didn't hit her, although she was hit for sure on one of them. There were less bodies on the floor than in most games, which actually surprised me.

Good point. There's just not as much flopping in the women's game compared to the men's so it just stood out.

It's the orange legs.

That made me laugh, but mostly because Stewart was sitting to next her.

I will respond as I did when you first posted this drivel. I have watched the replay a few times and Sims alone didn't fall on the floor but threw her heaqd back a few times when there was noone within a foot of her,Mulkeys daughter also was trying for the Oscar.Notice that late in the game, the refs finally caught on.

Do you know what a flop is? I think not. Drivel yourself, Philly. You watch the game with deep blue glasses. If you think that throwing your head back when someone is jumping at you when you are releasing a jumper is a "flop", let's talk hoops for real sometime. The idea was that Baylor was constantly hitting the deck. False.

We're going to miss her big time next year.

Big indeed!

I played and coached more games than you have seen in your lifetime. So anytime you want to discuss basketball, I'm ready.

Amazing you don't know what a flop is. And I suppose you coach your players to jump out forward at a 3 point shooter, a move that naturally moves the shooter backward. I stand by my analysis that Baylor was not a flopping team. In fact,,the premise of the whole Baylor wad into flopping related to the totally inaccurate idea that the coach's kid was falling all game long watch the friggin tape expert and see how often she was really on the floor, let alone faking being bumped by a UConn player. And in case you havent't noticed, I'm as big a UConn Dan as any, and decades longer than most. If you're really a skilled coach, you might be better at coaching a dribble than figuring out what us drivel. Be analytical and not emotional. Far better way to relate. Peace.

cohen, I counted 7 flops in the game when I stopped counting. Only 3 were called and none after the phantom elbow and Robertson took the drive.

UConn Dan was a big big man and flipped flopped better than most.
He refused to flip a flop and he almost lost his top when he saw that
it was done coast to coast.

The End.
