Yes they can. But not here. We don't want *dexter* fanboys here and we don't tolerate *dexter* fanboys here. It's that simple, like it or not.

If they have a legitimate question, fine. If they just want to whine about the officials like this goober was, then screw 'em.

As I watched the play last night, I too thought intentional foul. After watching the replay there were two defensive players, one in front and the one trailing who grabbed the player/jersey. What was never clear is who got called for the foul. The officials out on the play was to call a block on the defender in front of the play before the grab occurred. If that is not what happened then they blatantly missed an intentional foul. TV never reported who the foul was called on.

I watched the game and would have a hard time second guessing any official in a split second call like that....it could have been called intential and yet I see/work games all the time where a player (in a need to foul situation) doesn't make the cleanest attempt at the ball in trying to foul, and a personal foul -- rather than a flagrant is called.
I just think its difficult to second guess an instantaneous call like that.

I would comment on two things however. The game seemed more physical with fewer fouls called than in the several UT or A&M games I've watched this season. In fact, in two HS playoff games I worked in the past ten days, at least one of our group mentioned something to the effect of letting the kids play -- I guess that means playoff bball is meant to be called differently.

And in spite of the pace of play, I'm not sure I remember a guard being called for traveling or a post player called for 3 seconds. In watching the game, those calls seemed to be there on a pretty regular basis.

Again, does that mean playoff bball should be called significantly differently?
