Texas A+M / UNI

[Mr.C]

Thanks for the youtube clip of plays together. It helps me to understand why the officials at that level are so good. They call the game consistently throughout. Not bailing out the offense but allowing defenders in good positions to play defense and force offense to earn it. I am guilty of [at least I think I am] giving in to offense for a slight bump on occasion. I also like an earlier post of coaching offense to stand up straight and not even give defense more help by allowing them to close in.

Should have been a foul on white 3. Using the this years new rule on an offensive cylinder, white clearly violated the UNI players cylinder and the bump that lead to the turnover, should have been a defensive foul. That being said, the UNI player could have made it a much easier play to officiate by simply stepping into the defensive player instead of continuing to lean further backwards.

I'm extremely biased, so I've withheld comment anytime someone brings this up to me, but any thoughts on the &1 called on Jesperson toward the end of regulation? Obviously any call that goes against UNI is garbage, so I'm just wondering if you guys would be right or wrong

I did not watch the entire game, only the last couple of minutes of regulation and the overtimes. I thought the contact on that play was incidental and most likely would not have had a foul. However, if similar plays were ruled fouls throughout the contest than I would find that an acceptable call.

It's impossible to win a game with both hands firmly wrapped around your own throat.

Since the other thread got deleted, and my post with it, I'll restate what I said previously.

On the blocking foul, I thought the contact was pretty minor, and could've been let go, but it did appear to cause the shooter to land awkwardly, so I can understand why it was called.

On the throw-in/trap play, regardless of potential travel, foul or no foul, what struck me was the GREAT example of the C going where he needed to go to officiate the play. A lot of officials (and I include myself in that group) wouldn't have gone that deep into the backcourt to get the look, and he ended up all the way on the backcourt end line. Will definitely have to remember that when next season comes around.

I have one supervisor who says get wherever you need to get to referee the play

I'm not sure we could reach that far up our #$% to reach our throats at that point. Our heads were pretty far up there at that point.

I thought the same thing. The UNI player did himself no favors by continuing to give his ground though.

As for the And-1 Jamie Luckie made that has been criticized by most, including myself, I just saw an angle that clearly vindicates him. On the CBS Sports March Madness show I just saw the play from a camera that was on the far end line looking right down the middle of the court. The UNI defender jumps sideways into the ND player and his hip takes out the shooter's legs, which is why he landed awkwardly.

When I watched the play live the first thought I had was the official got things backward. There was contact but not severe. Hold whistle and if ball goes in pass. If not, get it even late. The ball went in and then he blew. Doesn't matter. Refereeing is hard. 4 turnovers in 33 seconds is on UNI.

UNI's turnovers are completely irrelevant to the discussion of this play. I leave the analysis of why UNI lost to the fans. I just know the camera angle I saw shows a clear foul on this play.
