Call The T

Come on 2-6...You don't think the 3 by Chalmers had something to do with it....What's that, you were getting another beer at that time...Oh, Ok...My bad

And for what it's worth...I though it was a good call on the no-T...TO was granted, CDR was nowhere near anyone else and obviously upset with himself for missing FTs.

I was questioning the Dorsey DOG when he held the ball but after some thought, if the ball were just bouncing, it might have actually taken the same or longer for the inbounder to get it...Dorsey held it and then tossed to OOB....so I guess that was ok too...

All they had to do was go TWO for 5 instead of ONE for 5 and Chalmers' shot would only have made it look close.

I found this to be a very ironic part of the game......

Memphis was a horrible FT shooting team all year. Yet in the round of 64 they shot remarkably well - this HAD to be a tactic other coaches wanted to use against them - foul em late in the game and send em to the line and we will have a chance. This tactic failed in the previous games....up until the end of the one that mattered most.....

They shot decent in the tourney because the collar was never tight. They've had zero experience all year in tight games with the exception of the Tenn. game which they lost, their average margin of victory was 18 points.

The failure to foul in the last 10 seconds was a real blunder. Put 'em on the line for two and you may have ball back with 3-4 seconds left. Poorly played. A much needed timeout would have helped, dejavu from the Tenn. game

There was no failure to foul....they (Rose) did foul the dribbler, it just wasn't called.

I wondered about that too. But.....I don't think that KU had anybody OOB anyway waiting to get the ball. If there isn't a KU player waiting for the ball, the game really isn't being delayed.

The only other thing that he mighta got nailed for was the stylin' and profiling', but that wasn't really egregious either imo. He was probably just practicing up for his NBE audition. Show bidness, baby.

But, who am I to criticize, I was on the couch.

I thought they called a pretty consistent game to be honest.

Agreed.

I agree, no T here. If a player slams a ball in my direction in response to a call, T. This wasn't that. I've turned my back to this kind of slam plenty a times. But I'd make a note the player "Next you slam it, please catch it for me." It's worked for me.

I have to admit, sitting and watching last night...I said out loud "Why didn't he get stuck with a T?" Maybe it's my lack of big game experience. Maybe it's my lack of DI officiating experience ...

My impression was that the crew looked bad by allowing it...but like someone else pointed out...my butt has been on the sofa for a month now.

On my level...V HS playoff game...that player is going to get stuck. How is that anything but a display of poor sportsmanship?

I have a better question - How is it a display of poor sportsmanship??? He was not responding to a call or no-call by the officials. He was frustrated with no one but himself. As some guy named Chuck (or Bhuck or something like that) asked in an earlier post - what rule did he violate? Why is slamming the ball down an automatic T? Why is slamming the ball down automatically unsportsmanlike???

No play happens in a vacuum, including this one.

A tech in this situation last night would have been horrendous and would be ALL that the idiot ref-hating (*cough*Gottlieb*cough*) commentators would be talking about today.
