Stolen tip
 

Do they allow that in the NC game? LOL. He definitely got it on the way up.

Christ.

Why are worthless posts like this allowed?

You don't think it's noteworthy on an officiating board that the opening tip of the NC game was a stolen tip? OK.

SC official, why is nearly every one of your posts along the lines of 'ultimate referee apologist?'

Every stakeholder, on the floor and on this forum, is human. If people want to vent here, so be it! Your level of defensiveness is a bit much.

No, I really don’t. And that’s assuming it actually was a violation.

Do you have a point other than to play “gotcha” and point out that the official possibly made a mistake? If you do, then make it.

Posting or discussing missed plays is fine if they have a learning purpose.

If their only purpose is to say “gotcha,” as is the case with this thread, they don’t belong on this forum. Take it to one of the many fanboy sites.

Thankfully, I don’t answer to you.

Was that a stolen tip too?

Peace

Are you a moderator on these forums?

Wasn't it a stolen tip?

Was it?

This whole conversation sounds a lot like teenagers in love trying decide if just worrying about a tip is big deal or not.

Just play safe y'all.

Pantherdream, I wholeheartedly agree with you, and typically never engage in pettiness like this.

However, this particular person has made countless posts during the course of the tournament that are nothing more than acting like the safety patrol in elementary school. Someone had to call him out for his BS, and that someone was me.

OK, I'm done :)

You mean like the OPer and this topic? We started a thread over a stolen tip? That is what we are talking about? Not one of many topics in a "request" thread?

That to me is a bunch of BS and I am not a moderator. Just stupid on many levels.

Peace

When posters that haven't sniffed the resume of Final Four officials (i.e. all of us) create threads for the sole purpose of pointing out "Oh look, they (might have) messed something up, how could a FF official make that mistake?" I have no problem calling it out. I'm sorry you do.

Again, I don't answer to you. If you think I'm petty, why did you respond? Clearly the moderators have no issue with this thread, so I guess I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

Not even a video request for the jump ball or an interest in discussing what we can do better. Just a sarcastic "do they allow that, LOL?" How anyone thinks a thread like this is productive or helpful is beyond me.
