Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 3925326, member: 6819"] What's been really interesting is the reaction of Carolyn Peck to that play. Multiple times she has said, yes that was a foul. In fact she says, Carrington was fouled twice on that play. But, she says as I've said continually over the years, one play doesn't make or define a win or a loss. Further, she says the refs let the players play all game long, and she's cited the fouls on Paige all game and the foul on CW on her transition layup which was right in front of the ref. Her take was that the refereeing was consistent. Consistently bad. She feels if the refs want to let the players decide the game let them decide it at the FT line. She also picked Baylor to win the championship early on, but since UConn beat them she's thrown her allegiance to Stanford. But that's another story. On The BY many posters over the years commend refs when they "let the players play", except in cases like last night when it clearly benefits the bigger and more physical team. I'm ambivalent about this. To me the let them play attitude has merit, until someone gets hurt, especially a star player. Remember, that is who most of the physicality is going to be concentrated on. But I also don't want to see the endless march to the foul line some refs prefer, especially before conference and NCAA tournaments. So what are we left with? Refs that walk that narrow line of calling it like I see it; most of the time anyway. Some then swallow their whistles in the final quarter, some don't. People on The BY have always expressed their dislike for Dee Kanter, but Dee calls the game consistent from end to end. You may not like her calls, or her style, or you may question her competence. But she is consistent. [/QUOTE]
