Message: [QUOTE="Billy Jack, post: 4545399, member: 4173"] When you say that “PC appears to get away with a lot of physical defending”, what you’re saying is that they’re playing tough defense but they’re playing within the rules. The stuff they’re “getting away with” is allowable. That’s why they’re “getting away with it”. No one gets away with illegal play consistently over the course of an entire season. A team of refs can have a bad game here or there, but that’s it. Anyone who thinks that PC or any other team is “getting away” with things they shouldn’t simply doesn’t understand what’s allowable. Calhoun coached tough, hard nosed, man-to-man defense. Nothing fancy, just in your face, we’re tougher than you are. Opponents also thought that we were getting away with too much, but that’s the way that fans of losing teams always see it. “Kill the ump!” It’s as old as the ages. [/QUOTE]
