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

What the heck happened? They never showed a foul.
 
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.

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.

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?

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.
 
Grab 3 of your friends. Tell 1 to stand in front of you, tell another to start rushing at you from 3 feet away, and jump over them both to sling a basketball 40 feet away to the third guy before they can steal it from you

Let us know if you can do that without your legs swinging out

Twice. And tossed. Along with another player.

I don’t think there’s anything that they could have done that I would’ve said is an overreaction.
 
Sure seems like a play on accident, sheesh. If it was us, would have been called a foul on the dude getting nut kicked (and you know it would be Karaban!) :D

It's not natural or unnatural. It's just a thing our mind does unconsciously in order to make a split second, athletic play. He wasn't jumping out of bounds and swung his leg out. He was making an intelligent bball play while two guys were harassing him, which led to an open 3.

You obviously dont watch much basketball. Many players have perfected the leg kick while taking a three point shot. It often gets a call against the defender.
