Message: [QUOTE="wallman, post: 2140759, member: 1736"] Interesting that someone brought up the double dribble as I have seen refs miss those calls in a frantic game and they do happen as the players themselves get overwhelmed. Re the carry both MO and Canada could be called for those ;) The fourth foul on Williams was pretty bad and especially for her as it did affect how she had to play, but there was another call that could have gone against her. The point being missed is that the Miss St player made contact with the throat, which is a much more fragile area and the player had been holding prior to the incident. I asked my ref buddy about this and he said that the whole situation was bad, the refs ultimately had to call the flagrant due to the contact with the throat as there was NO ball near either player. The guy said on review that it could be seen that she was holding her throat and then coughing after the play while still playing on. The NCAA ruled that it was indeed a flagrant 1. My buddy said that the refs screwed up many calls in the game but no ref wants to miss a flagrant due to all the protocol on injuries to players especially above the shoulders. Anyone watching this call and a lot of other calls that have been reviewed over the year, would know that there has been a lot less contact that has been reviewed, some that was not even noticed by people watching the game. Those that are trying to make something of this, are people who were caught up in the moment and hoping for Uconn to lose. If it had happened to the other team they would be calling for an ejection of your player. On a funny note, he also said that was probably the only call they got right all game :oops: [/QUOTE]
