From the VCU vs. Kansas game:

Agree/disagree? Some discussion about this play in the chat room when it happened live...was it actually a hold or not and if we had to put air in the whistle on this one.

Looks like a hold to me. It does not look like he gets to the ball without doing that. Good call in my opinion.

Peace

Was this player in the act of shooting? Should continuous motion have applied here? This was a play that preceded the technical on the VCU head coach Shaka Smart. IMO, I thought he was in the act of shooting.

Act of shooting IMO. Not sure how it was not called that way in the first place.

That's a flop.

No, it wasn't just a flop, imho. The defender stuck his left knee into the the offensive player's legs and caused him to stumble. That takes it from just being a flop to being a block. I thought this was a great call.

Must not have been obvious. 😀

Can't find this play anywhere on this thread. Remember when the Butler kid hurt his knee on a rebound in the 2nd half and fell to the ground in pain. It looked like to me he had the ball when he landed on the ground. Does anyone think that should have been called a travel. He didn't ask for a T.O. .........thoughts??????

Play from post 180: I don't see a hold, but the L might have had a better look at the right hand.

180...Hold...the defender "off" arm was wrapped around the opponent's waist giving him leverage to get to the ball.

Block.... steeping forward and sticking the knee out.

And another KU player running his mouth. KU players didn't acquit themselves very well this weekend in San Antonio behavior wise.

Yup. Getting knocked out looks good on 'em. And I gotta say Shaka coached rings around their resident genius too imo.

Yeah, he'll be able to write his own paycheck for next year, then he'll get fired after 4 years at whatever BCS conference school picks him up (Tennessee is just one possibility, I think) due to a 63-59 record (30-42 in conference).

It should have been intentional instead. There was an "obvious advantage" that can be interpreted. Two can play at that game.

Depends on the extent to which he's willing to emulate the "successful" coaches. Might take him a while to catch on to the rules of the game.

I don't know about that...if the school/alumni/boosters will get out of his way and let him recruit the kind of players he wants for his program (ala Coach K), he will be successful at any level. If and when they stick their noses in and start whining about "not getting the top quality players" then he will have to turn into a Calipari/Self/Pitino/etc...

Sorry, I'm still a bit jaded after the last two Iowa coaches.

Speaking of your tagline....Heard that one of the Morris twins told a VCU player that the run was over at the pre-game. He was right.😃

Wow...if that's true, it reminds me of the Seahawks/Packers playoff game a few years back. Went into OT, Seattle wins the toss and Hasselbeck says "We want the ball and we're going to score."

Three plays later he throws an interception that the Pack runs back for a TD...

Sometimes it's better to just keep your damn mouth shut.

APG

Play from the UK/UNC game:

Possible missed travel call...important call/no call since a foul came subsequent to it.

APG

Play from UK/UNC game:

In the chat room, it was discussed whether this is a call we pass on? Should there have been a more patient whistle?

Play from UK/UNC game:

This one is dedicated to BBR. 😀 Charge or a flop?

RE: Post 204
It's borderline, I think. He plays through and gets a good shot, but how difficult was the shot due to the contact? I probably pass on it, but I can see situations (game getting rough) where I'd need to get it.

On 205:
Sure looks like an Oscar to me, but the decision seems to have been made before he fell. Maybe he was anticipating something; guessing he'd like to have that back.
