Here's a switch
The Kansas State coach was yelling at the refs because they didn't call a foul against his team! Of course, there were just a few seconds left in the game and his team was up by three, so he wanted the Xavier player to shoot only two. What happened was that after the "no call", his player fouled the Xavier player while he was shooting a three (he missed) but he made all three free throws which had the result of sending the game into OT.
When's the last time a coach yelled at you for NOT calling a foul against his team? Maybe never? |
To be fair, there was a foul there. Of course the secondary defender shouldn't of had his hands in the proverbial cookie jar when the player started his shooting motion.

I do not think there was a foul there. If there was, it should be more than a common or regular foul. It should have been intentional. Unless the player was restricted, I do not see a foul there. And I see why it was not called. The ball handler blew right by the guy. This is not the same thing as an end of the game foul where they are trying to foul to get back into the game. The game was tied. It has got to be there. That would have been suspect.

So was anyone else able to read lips when the K-State coach (Martin?) was shown screaming down the court right after this play?? He clearly screamed "What the f@ck are you doing?" No idea if it was at the official who didn't call the foul, or the player who fouled the shooter...either way, seems like he got away with that one.
I have not had the "pleasure" of watching him (the K-State coach) much - not many K-State games shown in this area. He's a peach, isn't he? :mad: |

I think they didn't call the contact because it was marginal - didn't interrupt RSBQ - and allowing the player to play through it gives Xavier a chance to win. The shooting foul was an easy call, but without the foul they were giving Xavier a chance to shoot for the win. If K-State was down, I bet there would have been a quick whistle on that play. |

You are obviously a confused official. Someone gets hit by an elbow and you don't want to call something - until other officials show you the light. Now, there is marginal contact on a play like this and you want to tell someone what they should call? Some people should be seen and not heard. |

I think the operative word here is marginal. It wouldn't have been a foul at the beginning of the game either. ;) |

All the guys in the office this morning thought it was a missed call, as well, and just looked at me weird when I said I would've probably passed on it. |
Is the NCAA definition of intentional the same, more or less, as NFHS? I thought the non-call would have to be intentional or nothing. The defender grabbed at the dribbler, making no attempt to play the ball. Was intentional not a possibility with a little more contact, or is this treated like the NBA does it in this situation?
