Message: [QUOTE="FanFromMaine, post: 2460334, member: 5017"] Even though the wonderful people at UConnHuskyGames provide replays of every contest (bless you), I record any game I can. I do this for one reason: slow motion. Take Sunday's game. I was able to attend in person but I was far away from the action when Marina Mabrey was called for traveling. So when I watched the replay I wanted to see what actually happened; not Marina's reaction but why the traveling call was made. And what caught my eye was the ref. As you know, Marina gets the ball on the sideline and has limited options. She swivels once, twice, and again and again. Through all this the ref is staring at her feet like a guy playing 3 card Monte. I had to watch four times to be sure I knew which was her pivot foot but he caught it in real time: her left. Finally, she extends her right foot, picks up her left and starts dribbling. His arm was up in nanoseconds. After watching over and over again, I was reminded of another time which was equally difficult to decipher. You'll remember. Early in the 2013 championship game, Stewie and Kelly have steered Skylar into the left sideline to trap her. Skylar finally sees the trap and speeds up only to run into Stewie who has sealed the escape route. A foul is called. To me and to the announcers and perhaps to you, it looked like an obvious charge. But the ref called traveling. After a slo-mo session or four, I finally saw what she saw: Skylar took two steps to skirt Kelly but, without dribbling, took two more steps before she slams into Stewie. Again, the ref had her arm up immediately. If Diogenes had been in the house either time, he could stopped his search. Honest people had been found. [/QUOTE]
