Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 2136820, member: 889"] This. The scenario could have unfolded in several ways: 1) What actually happened -- no call at the time (which was wrong), and a delayed flagrant-1 call (which was right). We have the ball in a tie game with ~20 seconds to go 2) They call a common foul at the time, and determine that the elbow to the throat was incidental, no flagrant, but 2 shots. Lou makes both, MSU misses on their end, and we have the ball in a tie game with ~20 seconds to go 3) They call a flagrant-1 at the time, we get 2 shots and the ball. Lou makes both, and we have it in a tie game with ~50 seconds to go. 4) They blow the call at the time and don't award a flagrant-1 later. We're down 2 with 20 seconds to go. Are people really arguing that scenario #4 is the most just out of all of those? Frankly, it should have been #2, which leaves us in the exact same position as the way it actually occurred. I think the refs were embarrassed for having missed the call in the first place, plus the letter of the law on the elbow to the face, compelled them to call the flagrant-1. Not doing so would have been an even grosser injustice. [/QUOTE]
