Who is working the Duke / UNC game?

I know the name, not the face.

Using Btaylor's theory, it would seem difficult for the same official to have the championship game two years in a row wouldn't it? I think that is some faulty logic. Additionally, it is my understanding that the alternate is the alternate for all three games during the final four. If that is the case, that official would be knocking on the door to the final four, not the championship game.

The NC player did not hang on the rim, nor did he slap the rim in an attempt to show off or taunt. Why in the world is the Lead calling this anyway? Where are the Trail and Center on this call? IMO, that game was way more physical than the amount of fouls called.

Exactly. He didn't slap anything.

I knew it was Gary, just typed the wrong name when I posted. Without getting a closeup look, Brian Kersey and Gary Maxweel have a similiar build and look. I was thinking of one and not the other when I typed.

Watch the tape. He slapped the rim. I replayed it at least 10 times on my TiVo.

Whether that had anything to do with the T is not really an issue to me anymore, but you're blind if you watch the tape and say he didn't slap the rim after he grabbed onto it.

A.R. 91 B1 slips to the floor in the free-throw lane. A1 (whith his/her back to B1, who is prone) receives a pass, turns and, in his or her attempt to drive to the basket, trips and falls over B1. RULING: Foul on B1, who has taken an illegal defensive position.


Correct call.

Thanks. I didn't recall a discussion about an NCAA difference.

Could you show me anywhere in the rules where it say "slapping the rim" is a violation of any kind?

If you'll review the thread, I never made this argument. I never said it was a violation (actually, I believe I asked for clarification on the rule, and you did a masterful job clarifying). So I don't feel particularly inclined to answer your question (as I'm confident it's not in the rules, anyway).

I'm merely pointing out the fact that while BktBallRef claims that the UNC player didn't slap the rim - regardless of what that has to do with any sort of violation - he DID in fact slap the rim on his way down.

Are you going to answer my question?

Can you read? I just told you I'm not.

Earth to JRutledge: "I don't feel particulary inclined" implies "No." Sorry for using big words. I've learned my lesson.

This just goes to show my point. You are arguing a point that has nothing to do with the thread or what is being talked about. This is why other people asked you this question before.

We are here to talk about rules and situations surrounding the rules. What does slapping the rim have to do with this call in anyway? I am sure you think you know, but you are arguing and irrelevant point with someone that has been around here a lot longer than you. Since you know everything, I would implore veterans on this board to simply ignore you. Everything someone has to say, you “ya but…..” them.

I hope your career starts off much easier than your time on this board has.

Peace

Let me explain this to you on a 3rd grade level.

I noted in the first page of this thread that I saw the UNC player slap the rim after he grabbed it.

I asked if this might have had anything to do with the technical (thus, how it relates to the topic at hand).

You said no.

I thanked you for your clarification and then moved on.

A whole slew of other posters THEN said he did NOT slap the rim (it's not MY fault they brought it back up).

I said he did. It's on video.

You starting b1tching again for no apparent reason.

Now I need an aspirin.

Capiche?

Actually, he didn't slap the rim. He released the rim and returned to the floor. Somehow, you seem to think you saw something that no one else saw.

But feel free to continue proving to everyone what an idiot you are.

I wonder how many posters you can store on your Ignore list. Does anyone know? Mine seems to be filling up with dumbasses.

Then you and I were watching two different games.
