Oden needs to get Paid for This!
 
There is no point in Greg Oden playing anymore for free when typical plays like this all season long never get called.

But let him commit a hard foul and two days in the electric chair are not enough.

I hope gets 7 billion $ to escape the hell of being a big man.

FAnboy alert.

I am a registered baseball and softball official and have been for 35 years.

If you disagree with my post then explain the non-call and the willingness of most on here to base their view of an intentional foul on TV pictures.

BktBallRef Thu Mar 22, 2007 07:12pm

And exactly how are we supposed to KNOW this was a no-call? And even if it was, why do you come here and try to make out like this happens all the time? Have you never missed a call? You must be ****ing perfect! Congratulations!

BTW, I hope he stays around for four years. Ohio State would be close to unstoppable if Oden were to go pro. He's SLOWWWWWWWWWWW. I'd take Durant over Oden in a NY minute!

jimpiano Thu Mar 22, 2007 07:48pm

Then take Durant.

The play in the picture was a no call just seconds before the Oden foul no one was shy about calling an intentional foul.

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.

Go away fanboy, nobody's interested.

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.

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.

Pretty sure in the picture the Xavier #1 player is holding Oden's left arm down. You'd better stick to SB and BSB, cuz if you want to call that one on Oden, you'd really be a bad BB official!:)
