out-of-bounds call

[CTrefugee]

I replayed that out of bounds call against UCONN. Not even close !

Yeah I was wondering about that. In real time it looked like she was well in bounds, but maybe not.

 

[CTrefugee]

In bounds by almost 6 inches. Not even close.

My wife does not over-react generally. But she went ballistic on that call.

I was about to type 5 inches but I will defer. A terrible brain fart by that ref.

And of course ESPN does not bother show the replay. Nor did they on the very questionable looking foul called against Christyn Williams in the forth quarter. C'mon, ESPN, how is that in the interest of the viewing audience? How about a little transparency?

That was pure conspiracy theory fodder, lol. They did a replay of the ref making the call, but never showed the actual play, if I am not mistaken.

we just watched the play on tape ... hopefully that ref isn't going to Tampa

BUT...they were quick to show a replay of the Ref making the call I yelled... don't show the call being made, show us why she made the darn call!!!!!

Should Geno have demanded a Review? It would also have helped if Napheesa was vocal that she wasn't out of bounds. Napheesa more or less accepted that she was out of bounds.

Is there a way to grab a screen shot of it?

My wife lost it on that call too, blowing a call like that means that ref should not be doing so at the Final 4.

Thank you Biff! Well done.

The next ref will probably be as bad as this one, I am afraid. Except for this play( I have no idea how they missed ), they try and make the right calls. The women's refs are just of poor quality, not because they don't make the right call every time (no one is perfect), it is the TONE of the game that THEY set which often dictates outcomes. For me, that is my complaint.

 

[Waquoit]

Just brutal.

 

[Bigboote]

Count me as another whose wife was unusually vocal after the call.

Question. Are the refs taught, if you don't see it, don't call it, or if you missed it but from what you did see it sort of looked like a foul or an out of bounds, call it. Seems to me if you did not see it you should not call it, and if so I would would love to see the press grill the ref with that picture and ask "how can you miss it that badly?" Maybe if the refs and the press had to sit in a room together and watch it, the refs might try to get better. But maybe I am a little harsh, I have only tried refereeing in Little league and youth soccer, and if we get too hard on the refs, we won't have any. But you would think in the regionals and the final four, we would have the best refs in there.

I went ballistic at that call as well but I never bothered to look at a replay. Thanks for posting the screenshot.

How about that Bear Hug on CD late, that was called a jump ball?

That was part of the frustration, they never showed the replay. A deliberate choice by the director.

That was the right call in my opinion. Crystal didn’t do herself any favors by not dribbling.

That was regoddamndiculous. There was contact and no simultaneous possession.

The poor L. player was trying to foul and couldn't get the call !

So if you're the ref there, how do you blow a call like that one? She either steps out of bounds, in which case, if you see it, you blow the whistle. Or she does not step out of bounds, in which case you do not blow the whistle. It's inconceivable to me that a phantom call could be made honestly in error in an instance like that.
