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

Glad to hear about the program. I have no idea how they find people to referee considering how badly they are treated.

Val doing the important stuff, good grief with this commissioner.

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

I tried it.
My brother Patrick is on his way to the hospital, but the cops decided not to arrest me.

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.

Man…I just came across this…this makes me positive you’ve never played in any real way. Like, even pickup?

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.

That's completely different. First, there's a legitimate reason to do that: drawing a foul. Second, it's muscle memory; guys are used to doing it. Here, the notion that this dude instantaneously decided to kick a dude in the nuts while he was trying to make an airborne cross-court pass is LOL silly. BTW, the announcers mentioned Toppin had 6 assists in his last 8 games. Sounds like he's not exactly John Stockton, which makes it even more absurd to think this guy was multitasking.

A lot of galaxy brain takes here.
