The Kibitzer Memorial Badass Award

AgStatesman said:
I need a rules clarification. I was under the impression this award was for a player whose toughness and intangibles helped the team to victory. It was not meant to be a Player of the Game Award. Which one is it? Can someone with the proper authority please weigh in with the official rules of the Kibitzer Memorial Bad Ass Award?

Get ready for our Boneyard Badass Awards.

The season is almost upon us, so get ready to identify our individual Badass Huskies from game to game. A little refresher course for old 'Yarders and orientation for our newbies. 1. A BY Badass Award is never based on dirty play, poor sportsmanship (including flopping), selfish play and other...

4. What really counts is tenacity, delivery in the clutch and, most of all, play that breaks the opponent's spirit -- causing dagger-in-the-heart, shoulders slumping effect.

Still say Caroline.

I’ll go with Caroline, though Azzi’s shotmaking abilities being on full display in the second half really changed the game as well.

Not sure of the rules. If it’s BadAss of the game….Morrow in a runaway. UCONN CD Dorka

Morrow would have fouled out in the first half if the refs treated her the same as Liv and Dorka. She got away with at least two elbows to the head one on the Charme, she had to leave the game and another on Dorka. She also shoved a UConn player at least 3 times while getting in position for a rebound. The time that they called Liv for a foul where Morrow fell was bogus. Morrow was pushing Liv out of the way with her body and fell to the ground when Liv stepped away. This was one of the worse called games I've seen this year and those refs should be reprimanded by the league for their poor officiating. The KM BadAss Award goes to the Charme
 
AZZI and CW coming off the Disabled List to play in late season form, Dorka as a beast on the boards, and Caroline finishing DePaul off in the last minute, and the last second.

Caroline is not eligible!!!!

2. Stats are not the criterion. High scorer may not earn this unique BY recognition.

I agree--I give Morrow her due, but man, as you pointed out, the reffing was so very one-sided: Liv couldn't breathe on Morrow, but Morrow was undercutting, throwing elbows, pushing and shoving and got no fouls. Poorly officiated game--even the announcers were picking up on the call disparity...
 
Even in a small German village they root for Caroline Ducharme. :rolleyes:

It could go to anyone. The team. I would like to give a special shout out to Dorka. Great rebounding and she really impressed me on defense tonight. Very physical and very strong. Holding her ground. Toughness I have not seen.

First time in a long time where everyone shot 50 percent or better. Everyone was needed and came through.

I agree completely, but truth in advertising, the announcers are UConn announcers who tend to bleed blue a little....

Bad Ass to the TEAM . TRUE GRIT!
but for the return from the land of illness: special

But truly a third and fourth quarter to remember
Let watch the highlight tape!!! GO TEAM!

Completely Agree! Gutsiest game played by this team not just this year but, in a few!

I read that as being that the high scorer alone is not necessarily the winner, but can be if they meet other criteria such as making the score that deflates the the opponent.

Thank you, Nan. Most helpful. Perhaps the individual taking over the posting of this Memorial Award (TonyC) should re-read these criteria and place this Kibitzer post at the beginning of each game's posting. It certainly would go a long way to simplify the selection and eliminate multiple "honorable mentions" (although I, myself) hate to not recognize other strong contributions!).

Might I suggest you begin a Player of the Game or some other honorarium? You could differentiate the honor from Game Badass and set your own criteria?

You contradict yourself, so what's your real point here?

The BadAss award is simply a way for BYers to express our view of the game and the outstanding performance(s) within. At the end of the day, the guideline rules don't mean much. Those who wish to participate do and make their selection. Pretty simple really.

I haven’t seen this much whining since they told me that Happy Hour was cancelled at the pub. Refs or no refs, a 6’1” freshman went in the paint and ate a 6’5” senior’s lunch. She out hustled and out fought our bigs To the tune of 30 points and 13 rebounds. She wanted it more then they did. Maybe she got away with some stuff that could have been called but either way, she was the most dominant, most impactful player on the court last night. Games like that are played every night in the SEC. We play one physical game in the BE, and the players cower and the fans moan about the refs. Time to get…….

 
Yes, Caroline. Yes, Christyn.

But the one that has me dancing a jig is Azzi, and the way her ball whispers, silken, through the webbing. It's positively Bueckeresque.

Not a need for me, thank you. I am happy with Kibitzer's award and criteria. I like their differentiation from MOP, MVP, etc.
 
NU2BY said:

It is pretty simple, really. By restating the award criteria it better explains "Badass" for the uninitiated. I have often read posts with questions and opinions concerning the award and its meaning. And yes, clearly those who want to vote do and make their selection. NBD.
