Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4930336, member: 3535"] Just some oberservations on a couple of plays and the game overall, the ref, and the Color Commentator. Just my personal observation - people can agree or not. But the play Edwards got the Intentional foul - sort of a funny circumstance imo. Here is how I saw it: Initially JAX State- their center had arm on Edwards shoulder once Edwards drives (foul #1). Then Edwards immediate tries to clear her out using her arms upon the 1st or 2nd dribble (foul #2 this time by Edwards). Then as she is driving, the center still has her left arm Edwards - I believe on her elbow but definitely on her back (foul #3). She keeps her left arm on Edwards for most of the drive. Then #10 comes over to help in which it looks like her arm comes across Edwards face (though this is hard to tell but it looked like it- so foul #4). But definitely as Edwards drives Number 10 does have her arm coming down on Edwards left arm (foul #5) - and at this time the center eventually pulls left arm off of Edwards while Edwards looks to clear them both out (foul #6). SO imo there were 6 fouls on 1 play. :) Granted if you let the 1st 2 fouls go so you don't call everything and end up with the flagrant on Edwards - that is fine. But the comedy is on the very next play it seemed the Jax State player blatantly knocked Shade to the floor going for rebound that was uncalled. Then later after all the physical play at near end of 3rd qtr they call a mystery foul on Brady. I looked at the replay- there was no contact. And yet the ref is telling others to "stop it" after he made an imaginary call. After all the physical play you make a call in which there was no touching and yet you go after others for complaining instead of walking away without saying anything? :) OFC he wasn;'t going ot be be "bigger than that. . . :) And I'm of a minority _ I am fine with the Color Commentator. But for that particular play- her comments were shameful (not in a serious way) but far beneath her. While it's a 20+ game and not that important but for her to so blatantly let me say nicely "exaggerate reality" to say that Brady hit the player driving to the basket across the arm- just wow. We're not stupid. We could see. Please - just stop. Just don't comment on it rather than making such an embarrassing assessment. You're better than this. There was no cross to the arm committed by Brady. Just let it go if you don’t want to criticize. [/QUOTE]
