I repeat the question,,,,if you are going to call an intentional foul based on pictures, then explain how this one was missed?

It seems you have no aversion to hanging the game offiicials out to dry when it serves your bias.

And I repeat, if a big man has to put up with this consistently then no one should begrudge him making a choice to get paid for it.

And I take it that you know all this from vast experience as a basketball official, and your vast knowledge of the basketball rule book?

Go umpire a softball game somewhere, fanboy. This site is for real officials, not whiny fanboy jerks like you.

Shoo, shoo......

Every March --same old, same old......

This is an official's forum. If you aren't an official, then you are a guest in their "house." You will be treated seriously and with respect if you give respect. If you give none, you get none.

You don't want answers. You want to whine, moan, cry and b!tch..

Piss off, fanboy.

Please don't take that personally though.

Since you are such a great official in softball and baseball, I am sure I can watch a game of yours and show a pitch you have completely missed or a tag play that you got wrong.

For one you cannot take a snapshot of anything and say that is what it is. For all we know Oden could have got his arm free or was the person that put his arm behind himself as he was flailing for the ball.

Games are not called by pictures. But you are a long time umpire and you should know that.

Peace

There's a difference, for one, between a snapshot of one moment in time and a motion picture. It even gets better when we add sound, known in the olden days as "talkies."
Most of us don't give a rat's a$$ whether that college from Columbus wins any more games in this tournament. In general, I'm a Big Ten fan, so I tend to root for them against other conferences. This play, however, seems to have been an intentional foul that the officials missed. No one's hanging them out to dry; hell, they're probably looking at the replay saying the same thing.

I'm surprised it took this long for the first fanboy to show up.

Except of course when you want them to be.

Another one on my ignore list.

I loved the player control call on Oden's swim move in the first half, BTW.
