Missouri @ South Carolina women's

It was interesting to me (and commented on by the half-time studio crew) that players from one team were ejected for coming off the bench when the play was reviewed, but since the camera didn't show the other bench, no players were ejected from that team. Not saying the ejections were wrong, just that there was no way to review if the other team had a couple players take that same 2 to 3 steps onto the court while reviewing the play.

Why wasn't the SC player who was waiting at the scores table ejected when she walked on the floor several steps? Is it bc she wasn't in the "bench area" to begin with?

I do not have any penalties for bench players coming onto the floor. Taking one step over the line is trifling, they never materially left the bench area.

SC coach acted like a b and should have been whacked here.

Agreed on both counts.

In fact, Staley's entire purpose for entering the court was to coerce the official's decisions about the situation, which is obviously what is going on after the scrum is cleared and players sent back to their respective bench areas.

Staley is left standing at mid-court giving ALL THREE officials her thoughts on the matter.

Unbelievable.

Yep. As soon as one official motions for her to head back to her bench and she keeps going and then turns to the other official, I'd whack her. There was NO reason for her to stay there, and clearly the conference is not going to do anything about her ridiculous behavior this season so I'd gladly oblige her.

FWIW, my women's college supervisors would all want SC10 assessed a DQF and ejected for stepping onto the court as she did and the replay clearly showed. (I don't with certainty, however, know if the officials at the monitor were privy to that view.)

Maybe don't use a gendered derogatory term, there.

Maybe don't be so sensitive about something petty.

FWIW, I often call male coaches "b*tches" when I'm discussing their behavior with colleagues.

Maybe she was being an ass.

Mysogony and emasculation are familiar friends.

The "b" word, along with the oft used "f" word are all over used by everyone that thinks it's cool to use them. It's all just annoying and makes the user sound like a hoosier.
