Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 2106984, member: 1522"] Amazed some think that was the right call, in more cases than not when it's known a team is going to foul in end of game situations there is no play on the ball. USC game last night the Baylor player was tackled and the refs rightly just rewarded the Baylor player two free throws with no flagrant. You should never decide a game on a bush league flagrant. It's known in those situations the player isn't going for the ball and is just trying to foul to extend the game, it isn't always pretty when you intentionally foul because time is running out and you're desperate. If the refs stand by the letter of the law there would be flagrants called in ever single close game that's ever played. Why are you allowed to just wrap up players before the ball is even inbounded? Clearly that's not a play on the ball and is intentional. [/QUOTE]
