In the UConn SIU game Friday, one play had me wondering
During one trip down the court, A1 received a pass and had his back to the defender. B1 ran up behind him, stepped on the back of A1's shoe, and bumped him from behind. A1, taking a step forward because of the contact, stepped out of his shoe. B1 was standing on the heel. No-call...
I know I wouldn't normally stop a game because a player lost a shoe. But I do believe I'd have a whistle in this case. The actions of B1 placed A1 at a very distinct disadvantage that couldn't be easily rectified. Then, because of the no-call, play continued, placing team A at a disadvantage. At a minimum, I expected a "hold" or even a "push."
I was wondering if I missed something here. Did anyone see this play?
And how bout' them SIU Salukis? The dawgs just didn't have the perimeter shot. I guess not everyone showed up ready to play...watch for us in another decade. And Coach Weber says he's gonna stay next year. Well see.
