Lobo and Ruocco

[Bama fan]

At it again just incensed at the calls. Poor South Carolina!

In fairness it was kicked ball...

Where's Lebron?

Where's Lebron?

It's not UCONN

It changed the game. If you look at it in slow mo it was intentionally kicked. How do you miss that? This took officiating to a new low in the women's game and that is saying something. Why are the officials so awful? How many fouls were not called on Stanford? Bravo Lobo for pointing out the deficiencies. I hope Dawn Staley privately makes a lot of noise and they all get retrained or just removed.

As you said...you can see it in slow mo. Refs' had to see it in real time.

Turn off the sound

It seems that the number one requirement to be a women's college basketball referee is to be totally BLIND.

They never miss that call when we do it. If the ball is near Christyn's foot it's always called.

She was right, it was the pits

Someone please post the post conference between both schools..thanks

 

[BostonBay]

Lobo did the right thing. It was potentially a 4-point turnaround at a crucial point in the game. I mean, the Stanford player was playing soccer, & the refs still missed it. Just garbage officiating.

 

[JoePgh]

I won't express an opinion (at least not right now) on the non-called kick, but I think this pair of announcers are first class. They showed enthusiasm for the game and the athletes, but did not favor either team. I think the same could be said of their coverage of UConn-Baylor on Monday night.

I guess you miss it the same way you call a charge when defender clearly inside the line. Or miss a firearm to the face, etc.

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Will Dawn bring up all the missed calls during the post conference much like Kim did?

Did you happen to see Cameron Brink being flung around like a rag doll? Or the SC guards push off all game long. I don't think it was well called, but it wasn't one sided either.

Agree...just bad and completely inconsistent.

My point in talking about slow mo was that it showed she did it intentionally not accidentally whereas in real time, which all of us watching the game could still see to be a kick, it did not appear to be as blatant. Either way it has to be called. There is no judgment involved.

 

[BBallF]

Yes, and why isn't that all over the internet, on TV, and everywhere else right now?

 

[eebmg]

I read somewhere they are going to do something like the 2 minute end of game foul report like the NBA does.

Lobo sucks at her job. I used to like her but this tournament, she was hard to listen to. I like to have sound during the games but tonight I almost muted her. I’m tired of her basic commentating. Some of you said that ESPN’s commentators were bad a while ago and I disagreed. I was wrong and I see the light. This whole tournament was bad. The commentating and the officiating.

I was a ref for 10yrs. Kicks are sometimes missed. We see it in slow motion

Publicly or privately, it feels like it is a guarantee she will make a lot of noise about this. As well she should.

Basketball is not football where you can throw the flag and then pick it up and waive off a penalty. For better or worse, we're stuck with the ref blows the whistle, someone has to be assessed a foul.
