Please tell me again how college basketball doesn’t have an officiating problem

“Some people pay double for that kind of action, Cotton.”

 

[prankster]

Nice that Tech won, anyway.

Still would have been appropriate for the coach to pull the team, forfeit the game and leave the zebras with the well earned W.

Refs don’t get replay. I feel badly for them.

You didn’t watch the video, did you?

 

[uconnever]

Not just college

 

[temery]

"He gets two shots and the ball."

 

[Dove]

What the heck happened? They never showed a foul.

Not sure if it’s sarcasm but the call was after watching the replay. Horrible call. Just odd.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I gotta say, the kick looked intentional to me. That is in no way a normal movement in that situation. So it is at a minimum a flagrant 1. And once you get to it being intentional, now the question is whether it was aimed for the family jewels or not? I can see how the refs got there.

 

[housekeys]

Clearly the complaining team is not driving to the hoop and just settles for outside shots. /Sarcasm

It would be an impressive feat out of the double team to find and hit the open man across the court and simultaneously intentionally scissor-kick his opponent in the balls at the same time.

Awful call it’s not even a foul he threw a cross court jump pass, that’s all ….legs have to go somewhere.

I’m not saying it was intentional to the nuggets. It looked like an intentional kick though. There is no reason he should have had to kick out with the play he made. Could have gone up and down easily. So you’re at least at flagrant 1.

There was a call today where Mahaney took a corner three that went OB and was CLEALY tipped by the defender because it completely altered the flight of the ball. Did they think Mahaney was such a bad shooter that he just shoots it to the baseline? You have to be a stoonad to miss a call that bad.

It’s a natural move when jumping and turning. The only correct call is incidental contact.

If he hadn’t made contact, that kick was ending higher than a Rockette. It was not a natural move.

He jumped up into the air. He threw the ball across the court. His legs moved forward to counter his arms moving forward. Physics. It was clearly a natural move and entirely incidental. Awful call. It wasn't a foul, never mind flagrant.

I still can’t tell if you’re serious.

Wait what? So while being double-teamed he jumped and made a cross court pass all while making a split-second decision to air kick a guy in the balls?

I didn't notice a black belt around Toppin's waist. Did you?

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Can you imagine what Durley would do if Karaban got ejected like this?

 

[NowInStorrs]

Then the coach getting T-ed up afterwards is a nice little insult to injury.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I still can’t tell if you’re serious.

Go do the motion in your living room and tell me if you kick even close to that. I get people want to all jump on the refs here and I think flagrant 2 is a stretch, but the idea that this was a natural basketball move is just silly.

Apparently we all missed what the ref saw.

He jumped up with the clear intention of delivering a kick to the billiards.

The cross court pass was the part that was incidental/unintentional.
