Message: [QUOTE="Tufkas, post: 4954463"] 1: Not unlike holding in the NFL, offensive fouls may be called on most every screen at the college and pro-level, men's or women's. That much is indisputable. This particular screen, slow-motion, frame-by-frame, whatever, was actually not that far off, if at all, from all the rest. As Taurasi remarked (words to the effect of), "It didn't even get her free." 2: Those who've played the game, college, pro, men, women (LeBron, Kelsey Plum, et al.) saw it the same: horrible call. 3: This occurred on what may well have been the winning play in the national semi-finals, sending one team or the other to the national championship game. 4: The call deprived the largest viewing audience in the history women's college basketball from a potential last second(s) shot from one of the two most visible single players in the country, following a turnover by the other most visible single player in the country. 5: Instead, the largest viewing audience in the history women's college basketball was left with a massive controversy. For me, seems clear, those who come away from that game thinking it was anything other than a terrible moment from an official clearly not up to the level of the game, either has an agenda or is a troll. For me, that official - making that call with such glee - should never again ref a game at any level. [/QUOTE]
