NCAAW Louisville/Miss St
Two plays I’d like to see:
(1) the technical foul at 2:42 in the 4Q (2) the last play of regulation |
These were two very interesting calls at crucial points of the game, that were either made, or not.
1) Personally, I thought the first call of "slapping the floor," made in anger and or frustration was a good "T" made right on the spot by the L. Unfortunately, it was a game changer and #5 on one of the better players for Louisville who was gone for good. Tough call. 2) I thought that was a foul. It even took the Louisville player to the floor hard......while they could have made the rebound to win, I thought they passed on the initial foul. Rough game with a lot of physical play the officials let go. The announcers were harsh and critical of the amount of contact that was passed on - mostly against MSU's 6'7" center. IMO, this game, and the following one, UCONN vs ND were two excellent games for the sport! |

I didn't see the technical foul. As far as the layup at the end of regulation I can see why the play was passed on. Defender was running side-by-side with the offensive player and the offensive player jumped right into her armpit. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |
IMHO,
The technical was deserved and assessed quickly and correctly The no call at the end of regulation was a 50/50 call. The L was on the other side of the lane and may not have seen the initial contact before the lay up attempt. |
As much as we like to say "we don't officiate time and score," we all know that's not 100% true.
Tie game, end of regulation-a foul there has to be high-certainty. It was not anywhere close to an "obvious" foul IMO, and FWIW I'm not even sure I have a foul in the first quarter on this play. And I had no problem with the T. Some officials might not have whacked there, but if you're a player you have no one to blame but yourself when you do something that causes an official to have to make that decision. |

Finally saw the two plays. Foul preceding the tech and the tech itself were good. IMO the Louisville coach should have also been whacked for his wave-offs and profanity following the technical.
Contact at end of regulation is an easy foul. Defender was never in LGP. |

I have two supervisors who would fire me for not calling a technical foul on that play.

Very close play. I am OK with no foul if that kind of play has not been called a foul most of the game. Women's basketball often does not have plays like that with a very big player, so I am actually fine with no foul call. Peace |
Based on past situations, I am under the impression that the NCAA is not the catalyst for banning videos on YouTube. I think it is about CBS. Something tells me that ESPN does not care about videos that high light plays for the purpose I have made them.
But that could change, but I hope these plays stay up for discussion purposes. Peace |
On the last play the defender didn't cause the contact so it's a good no call. Considering time and score it's a great no call.

Either way, in this play, there was contact that came from a defender not in LGP that displaced a shooter and likely impacted her ability to make the shot. At any other time of the game, that would have been a foul. That was only not a foul because they were "letting the players decide the game". :/ |
