Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3105335, member: 9403"] I get that I'm going into the Huskie den and saying something unpopular, but with all due respect, your arguments seem (a) internally incoherent, (b) nearly impossible to falsify, and (c) sexist, unless I'm misunderstanding something. (a) So Drummer's style of play is both "unique to how teams play UConn" but also something I "think is normal" because I've "watched too many Stanford games." Stanford didn't even play UConn this season, so which is it? (b) How do I disprove the existence of a black swan? Do you want to go through the tape of every non-foul-call play by Stanford this season to show me all the excessive contact we get away with? Over on the Stanford board, some fans catalogued all the ridiculous calls that went against Stanford in the Elite Eight game. We've got homers who will argue just as vociferously that too many calls go against us, and that we get called too often for ticky-tacky nonsense. At the end of the day, it's only a foul if it's called a foul. Otherwise it's all subjective and open to disagreement. I'm not going to go back and review every non-foul-called play against Stanford, but suffice it to say, this particular criticism of Stanford is a new one that I've never heard before. (c) Unless the refs all went to Stanford and Notre Dame for college, I assume your insinuation is that female refs help teams with female head coaches. Seriously? If that's the level of respect you have for the officiating, I suggest you go watch competitive fly-fishing instead. That kind of comment comes off as sexist, plain and simple, unless I'm very much missing something. [/QUOTE]
