So, two elite 8 officials made decisions; one decided to put air in the whistle and one decided not to. What makes you think you are right because you would do the same thing the L did? Also, yes the L in the regional might not have any balls. As soon as we realize a NCAA official isn't God we will be able to look at the games more objectively and learn.
When you talk about officials that want the limelight you are showing signs of an official who would shy away from tough calls. That isn't something you can determine by your comeback post, that is something you have to look within to discover. Sometimes the game needs a jerk in black and white (with raised hand), "I can do that!" Are you safe or are you willing to go to the edge? An official can work 127 NCAA games and still be safe!  (couldn't resist that one). |
I am assuming this post is for me. However, I'm not sure why. I 2 days ago that I thought (just MO) it was a bad call. I in no way said that I was correct. It was MO. Today, JR decided and you can see for your self exactly what he said, that my post was stupid and that it was completely wrong. Decisions just like the one made in the LSU vs. Rutgers game are made all over the country everday on things like over the back, hand checking, etc... Some officials chose to make the call and others chose to pass. Does it mean that they have "no balls." No it means that they didnt think it deserved a call.
There is a big difference between an official who likes to see his name in lights and an official affraid to make a call. The L in game we were talking about was 2 feet from the contact and chose to pass, I pressume b/c of the location of the ball at the time of contact, the situation of the game, and the overexcentuation of the charge by Augustus. The other official however saw it differently and (it was a woman, so she didnt have balls, for all you BALLS fans) made the call. Was it right or wrong?? In her eyes, it had to be made. In the L's eyes it was a no call, and I agree. Two NCAA tourny officials not agreeing on a call, imagine that. What I can assure you is that the official making the call didnt go to the locker room and tell the other that he had "no balls," unlike JR is telling me. GROW UP, I wasnt claiming nor did I ever that I was correct. I simply stated my opinion. And JR decided to start the name calling by telling me how stupid my opinion was and that I was completely wrong.
