The same people who do so every year. The NCAAW's administration does an awful job in this regard. I seriously doubt that someone at this level is so much better than several others to warrant numerous finals in a row.

Same applied today, it seems, especially in the first half.
I don't watch much NCAAW, so I won't be terribly critical, but my general observation is that there were many contact no calls that I scarcely believe would have been no calls on the men's side. It almost seemed like there was a hesitance on the part of the crew to allow either team to get to the bonus too quickly in any given quarter. On another note, I didn't catalogue the times, but I thought there were an inordinate number of questionable block/charge calls in the title game. In fact I can't recall any of them being called charges (there was an RA block in the second half---would like to see it again because I thought the drive started in the LDB---but that's as close as I recall any call coming to a charge). |

I agree. That contact wasn't excessive and had no effect on the play. It was more acting than contact.

I didn't think it was flagrant either but a definite common foul. Which would have still resulted in UConn free throws. I'd wager Lead no-called it because of the steal prior to the ball getting there but it's still a foul IMO and I don't mind the flagrant 1 foul for contact above the shoulders.

Players can't fling their arms around without regard for their opponents. This was contact to the head/neck with a forearm. FF1 is a perfectly fine decision after using the monitor. PS If anyone was curious, SC was favored by 2 over Stanford and UConn was favored by 22. Last edited by Nevadaref; Sat Apr 01, 2017 at 05:03am. |

1.) What triggers their ability to review this? A coach or player complaining they were hit in the face on a previous possession? The wild flop to the floor that plants the seed "Oh, we'll have to review that once Miss. St. takes their opportunity to try for goal"? 2.) If their review had led to the conclusion "Not much there; common foul at best," could they STILL award the bonus free throws? What about if the review turned up nothing ... just go to POI? I'm glad UConn didn't end up scoring on the possession that followed the FTs. That would've been a tough pill to swallow for Miss. St. |

While I agree that many people will say there isn't a lot there, however by definition it can be viewed as an F1. IMO, officials on the men' s side have a tendency to pass on an F1 on that play but I think the women's game is more literal therefore resulting in an F1.
Now the whole argument as to time, score, the fact that the play was originally a no call is a whole other debate......
