Kentucky/Louisville

[grunewar]

Will anything happen as a result of this play/game situation now or is it over and done?

Will the crew get a note/call from the NCAA on their thoughts as to what they did/didn't call? Procedures they followed? Will it just be ignored as just another game situation? Re emphasis go out to all officials?

Just curious as to your thoughts.
Thanks

Will probably see something on the Arbiter's Central Hub. They posted the Cincy/Xavier incident with some comments.

Unfortunately, I believe that it is password protected and the information not available to the general public.

Perhaps such info could be posted on this forum by those with access.

Here's a view from the front. There was a better view from behind showing the elbow being thrown that was constantly being replayed.

YouTube - DeMarcus 'Double Tech' Cousins

I thought it shoulda been called flagrant when I saw it live....and on the numerous replays. Still do.

Agreed. Not sure why it was not called a flagrant after they went to the monitor.

Gotta love it when even the UK fan who is filming (or someone near him) says (right at the end of the video) "DeMarcus elbowed him in the head first".

Deej, did you notice Cahill, the Lead, on the play? I thought that he had a good look at the play and he did call the held ball, but the Trail had to come all the way in to make the subsequent calls. The Trail called both initial "T"s against Louisville while Cahill seemed to stay right out of the play.

Cahill is a veteran official who has shown that he's certainly not afraid to make the tough call. I was just wondering why he didn't get more involved in a play that was right in front of him.

Thoughts?

If that's not flagrant, especially after seeing it on the replay, then I don't know what is.

I honestly think he was blocked out of a lot of the stuff - too many bodies in the way. As he was closing in the Louisville players who did the pushing were pushing the UK player toward Cahill. So he was in probably the worst position to call those first T's...then he must have been the U2 as he was the one who stayed out on the court and kept an eye on the players/benches.

From my vantage point on the couch, I honestly thought this was a flagrant foul. I would love to hear their post-game discussion! Perhaps they only went with the T because the reaction of the Louisville player was fairly subdued...if he comes up and takes a swing, perhaps they toss both players? I don't know - just speculating here.

JR - Didn't Tony Greene come in with one of the T's from the centre position? I thought I saw that on the replay.

Shows, from what I can see, was the T on this play - and way too far away from what looks like his primary, or at least a double-coverage area. Poor positioning?

The replay they showed during the broadcast, which was from the camera on the baseline, showed that the T had a clear view of the struggle for the ball - but was likely too far away when it got intense and Cousins threw the elbow.
