Put it on a T-Shirt

I could be mistaken, but I don't remember if SNY showed a replay of Nika's block from an under the basket view, but it would have been nice if they did...
(I haven't watched the replay yet.)

I watched the game twice and never saw an under the basket view. They only ran the one that is showing. Even Meg stated that they couldn't see her left arm, but it looks like that what they are calling. Just because a person falls to the floor doesn't mean they were fouled. The player was already off balanced and the force of the block could have made it look like she was fouled.

Lol. I posted this because of her hilarious reaction (“Oh My God, Bro”).

Somehow I knew it’d turn into a debate about the foul.

I brought up the alternate camera view of the play because Meghan mentioned seeing one during the broadcast.

you literally cannot see that because her body is blocking it.

I LITERALLY see her arm extending into the player. Are you also going to say...the REF couldn't see. She fouled her. She always protests. It's her fire. That's ok.

Coaches sometimes go ballistic because of foul calls. They are often on the other end of the court and don't see the foul up close and/or from the angle the ref does. Sometimes the coaches are not wrong. Sometimes you can see everything (on both ends of the court) from a good seat in the stands. Referees like coaches and fans don't see everything. And as a referee, you can't call everything. You have to let them play. Basketball IS a contact sport. Football is a collision sport. :cool: There is always touching, grabbing, and pulling. As a referee, you just have to figure out where to draw the line.

My view is Muhl got beat ball watching so she put herself in position to let the ref make a call; that’s why you don’t ball watch. Good call or not, the ref who made the call had the best view of the play so regardless, whether contact was incidental, or non-existant, it was a foul because that’s what the ref called.

:D Don't know if there was any intention in your capitalization in the word "Dawn" but its still funny 'cause she did complain as a player and remains quite vocal as a coach.

WE never foul. THEY always do!

Funny but just a mistake on my part.
 
A wise man once said, “if the refs don’t call it, it ain’t a foul”

looked clean to me! I saw a number of lousy calls by the refs last night.

It’s good to see that nothing has changed over the long weekend off. Nika being called for a phantom foul and the refs making a number of lousy calls. I would recommend that when Nika gets a bad call that she verbalizes her frustration in Croatian. There are too many lip readers and refs with rabbit ears out there. We should have “Nika doesn’t foul” (written in Croatian) tee shirts made up and wear them to the games.

Her body is blocking it. You can’t se her arm making contact with delivery because her body is in the way. You are just assuming it did.

Correct. What you stated is exactly what I meant but I somehow misrepresented what I was referring to. :(:eek::)
 
I have the Bryce Harper "That's a clown question, bro" tee shirt. They started making them within a couple hours of when he said it, and I ordered one the next day. (He was 18 and the Nats played a game in Toronto, and after the game one reporter asked him about five times whether he was going to go out drinking since he could do so legally. He said repeatedly that he wouldn't answer the question and finally ended with the famous quote.)
 
I can see it now, her father is having the T-shirts made up in Croatia and will be selling them there, with Nika's picture on the front with the statement in English underneath it. While on the back of the T-shirt the same statement in Croatian. ;)

Wait! Isn't this what some folks want? More calls in the paint to protect players from injury? :cool:

Only if its a real foul. Just because someone falls or acts like they got pushed doesnt mean it was a foul. I'm sure Nika would agree with me that it was a weak call.
