First T, I understand, second T shouldn't have been called though..
I can. I was hoping they win this so they won't be coming off a loss.
Smart- rather face a top team on the road with them coming off a win than loss...
Fix the rule.......Its what most do not understand. Many of times, I hated to call something, but via the rules, I HAD TO....And this is the case here.
It was what it said on the OSD when guy was shooting FT's. I can't screen shot youtubeTV.
Not so sure either....I don't know TBH, WTF you call? No call? UConn guy was set, but Gillispe did slide step him....contact.....But, I mean, UConn guy seemed set---right? I think him hitting him in the side, opposed in the chest, made it look bad...
What you think?
Enticing the crowd....Its one thing to do so if your team is making a run, etc, etc.....But to do so after being assessed a tech, is cause for a technical foul....MOF, its damn near automatic.
Just my opinion , would have called block/ but can you imagine the crowd if the refs did ??
I can see it being called either way.....Again, I think the contact not being direct to the torso, made it look more like a block. Looked to me UConn was there, and waiting---I didn't see a lean, or him slide over...Gillispe just made a side step, and the contact was to the Uconn kids shoulder/arm, instead of his chest....
And yeah, the crowd would have lost their minds....But maybe not----But I bet 90% in reality, with how it looked, thought it was a block.
See what I mean? Fukin tough game to officiate, man...
Thats three more a game----or 90+ more a season. Pretty big difference really.
Why? People pump up the crowd all the time? Why can’t you pump up your own crowd?
The block/charge rule is the second worst rule in all of sports. IMO, there’s no reason we should EVER incentivize a basketball player to fall down.
It’s dangerous to the player falling and it’s dangerous to those landing on the person/legs on the ground. There’s just no need for it. Why is falling down considered defense?
We should be incentivizing plays at the rim. Go up vertical and get a blocked shot. Don’t stand in the way and wait to get landed on.
We should do away with the charge call entirely.
If it's obvious, sure. A player pushes off, or driving while out of control. But weak side slide ins stink.
