Message: [QUOTE="WiseWillie, post: 5310758, member: 13141"] Wonder if being on ABC playing to a Disney-type generated excitement in front of a Sun home crowd had anything to do with it. After contending with all of the commentator talk on CC throughout ad nauseam, like you, I was pretty disgusted overall with the way the game was officiated. In fact I turned it off at the half because I couldn't watch more of how all the Wings but particularly Paige were being continually held and banged without calls being made. Another beef if you will and then my ranting will cease. What is getting to be irksome is the apparent complete acceptance of it by the coach as shown by his calm, controlled demeanor. How about showing some life? Never once have I ever seen how he talks to or just mildly confronts a ref on the sidelines. Just stands there and doesn't even look very perturbed when a foul occurs on one of his players with an obviously missed call. Hey, coach, without going overboard and confronting a ref ,or maybe even getting a T at times, could show your players that their coach has taken note, isn't accepting it for his players and has their back. Anyway, before straying too far off topic, the rough stuff is just part of the game we are told and must accept but is not also making sure that unnecessary, deliberate roughness which is occurring more and more on the perimeter is called for what it should be, a foul plan and simple?
