NCAA Tourney -- FAN BOY thread!!!
 

A place to post your rooting interest and other comments which have nothing to do with officiating.

We are underway!

Princeton had a shot to win it in the first game.
Rooting for several upsets.

I know you're a 3 point shooting team, but they were only down 1!!! Dang!

Go Mid Tenn!!! We need some upsets.

What a dumbass.

Spoken like a true fanboy, turn in your stripes:D

Vanderbilt kid?

Peace

Bizarre.

I wonder if a coached yelled "Don't Foul them" and all he heard was "Foul them"????

ROCK!! CHALK!! JAYHAWK!! KAAY!! UUUU!!

MTD, Sr.

Go Hoosi....

Oh wait. Anyone know any good coaches?

Go Duke!!!!

How the hell do they not call a foul on A&M???? Yes, I know it's been a year.

-Still Bitter UNI fan

The wife and I just went to KC for an extended weekend and I wore my Northern Iowa colors proud down there. And jeered every Shockers shirt I saw.

Hold up now I thought this thread was a safe space.

Yes. Now we gotta listen to annoying NW fans toot their horn for the next ______ amount of time. It's the Cubs all over again.

I got caught up in the hype and picked Vermont. Silly man, I forgot about the double double machine Purdue has in Caleb Swanigan. Overall, was 14/16 on the day. Missed VCU/St Mary's as well

The officiating is horrible!!!

This is a fanboy thread, correct? :D

Yup.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CALLED THAT TAKE FOUL ON VANDERBILT, THE OFFICIAL PRACTICALLY HANDED THE GAME TO NORTHWESTERN!!!

Can't believe it wasn't an intentional foul:D

I can't believe the officials didn't call a single foul against Duke yesterday. They sure get special treatment by the officials!!!!! Pathetic. There should be an investigation.

Michigan can't miss. 11/15 from 3pt range in the 2nd half today. That will beat a lot of teams.

The meaningless 3 made by Ok State at the buzzer had an impact in Nevada. Michigan was a two point favorite.

Did you go to Kansas City, Kansas, or Kansas City, Missouri?

As far as Wichita State is concerned we JayHawks really don't care, LOL!

MTD, Sr.

We stayed in Lenexa and were mostly on the Kansas side as our friends live in OP.

You are talking my neck of the woods. My mother grew up in Linwood and my parents lived in De Soto from 1980 until 2000.

NCAA Tourney -- FAN BOY thread!!!
 

How 'bout 'dem Badgers!!!

Teams from the state of Wisconsin have a pretty good record against Villanova, no? [emoji3]

BTW, great patient end of game officiating on both sides. There were a bunch of awesome no calls.

Where any of you annoyed as much as I was regarding the CBS was all over NW......I'm far from a Gonzaga supporter but that was insane the way they slobbered all over NW....

I warned about this on Thursday.

Talk about the unltimate fanboy!

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Thank you for your interest in college basketball.

Peace

Thank you for being a fan of college basketball. Good luck next season.

I always take TV basketball analysts comments, both in-game and pre/post-game, with a grain of salt. Having said that, Mike Greenberg (Mike & Mike in the Morning - ESPN) made it a point to say this year's NCAA Tournament officiating has been "especially bad".

:rolleyes:

That's too bad, I like Greeney! He's just butthurt that Northwestern is out. They missed the call. We all saw it, we get it, move on. That T cost his team a TON of momentum, and arguably the game. Hopefully Julia Louis-Dreyfus and that crying 10 year old kid know that Collins cost them that one.

I don't consider the announcers/analysts comments at all. They are both clueless and trying to generate ratings.

Same.

Yet, it is still a comment directed towards impressions of the officiating.

I'd be interested in thoughts from this group. Personally, this year's officiating seems to be as good as always. The human factor is at play, so there are mistakes made by officials, player and coaches, but nothing I've seen so far makes me think there is a disproportionate amount in comparison to previous tournaments.

I've seen what I believe to be a somewhat greater number of misses. It hasn't been dramatically more but I've felt, in games without a rooting interest, that some stuff was missed that just shouldn't have been missed....rules administered, obvious calls, etc. Perhaps it isn't the number of misses but the type and timing of the misses.

Some examples: The collision at the end of the UNC/Ark game...that had to be something. I thought it was a clear charge but it certainly wasn't a no-call. I saw a video review of an OOB play and they got it wrong even on review...the player's fingers moved back as the ball went by yet they went with no tip???? Throwin spots completely wrong after a throwin violation that didn't go onto the court. Determining a player to have control only after tipping the ball away from the opponent. Calling BI for a player hanging on the rim who reaches out to tip the ball (which was clearly outside the cylinder)...it should have been a T, by rule.

You can always debate block/charge calls or travels but these are not things that should have been missed.

Ahhh, thank you! I've asked about this three times and the question has gone unanswered. Watching it live, I thought, "NCAAM must have a different rule, because that's a T all day in high school."

Come on,

That was clearly a block!!!, I was good with the no call and the tip-in though.:D

Lets goooooooo mountaineers !!!!!

CPBPurple:

1) Just because the title of the thread is: "FAN BOY Thread!" does not mean it is for real fan boys. It is for the officials in this forum to cheer for their favorite teams.

2) You do realize that this Forum is populated basketball officials, some of how officiate at the college level and a few retired college officials.

3) ROCK!! CHALK!! JAYHAWK!! KAAAY!! UUUUU!!

MTD, Sr.

He says that every year. If you listen to the show that is about as common as the "Sheets of integrity." Who cares honestly what they think about anything officiating?

Peace

Hook em Horns!

What?

Oh.

Nevermind.

GO BLUE!

Got to attend the UM - UL game in Indy on Sunday...great environment and we got that W!:D

UCF Knights!!!

We finally got a team worth watching.
Thank you Johnny Dawkins!!

Not the NCAA but best UCF team, maybe ever.
I never understood why they did not hire a good coach at what
is now a huge school

C'mon, Xavier! Pull the upset!

Welp, there goes my bracket. Thanks a lot, Shawn Miller. Good luck to everyone else!

same. thank you very little, AZ.

I'm pizzed at Michigan too. Couldn't they just ride the magic carpet to one more win. :mad:

GO DUCKS, BEAT CAILLOU

Actually on that play, I would hope that the official in the couple seconds after the play and seeing what Collins was doing would recognize that they probably missed that call and not COMPOUND the mistake by calling a T, but would instead look towards the court and ignore it. Missing the BI is one thing and human, but if all Collins was doing was coming out a few feet onto the floor like I see many coaches do the entire season w/o penalty, but was also motioning what he had seen and not using profanity towards the official, than that was poor game management in my view. I know that about 10% of you will agree with this, but I believe most fans players and coaches would agree...maybe not officiating supervisors lol.

And what do you think the odds are of that second part, thedewed?

I'm guessing you're not an official.

The Kansas loss just doomed me to another yr of congratulating my son on a better bracket than his old man! Harumph! :(

Anyone watching the TCU-UCF game on ESPN right now? I think the R is Earl Walton -- whoever he is had the worst toss to start a game I have ever seen. Threw it away from Tacko Fall.

At about the 1250 mark in second half of said game, there is a textbook example on how a block/charge should be resolved by the L and C who both whistled the action---of special note was the "pause" and then "verification" and then the "signal".

OK. Here are two references to read. I consider the matter closed.

Purpose of the site.

And here.

As a fanboy I feel it is my duty to point out that UK was called for 5.26% more fouls than UNC (19 to 18) and the reffing is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent. Just saw it live sry.

And then there are the jokers who have been around long enough for us to recognize their sarcasm. :)
