I would disagree with you too. Burr as the new Trail has responsibility for the line that Brownlee stepped out on so that is in his PCA, although I agree that in transition Higgins should have helped him on the OOB call.

Here's another comment from Mr. Adams, nothing earth shattering though.

I watched this a number of times. Are you saying there wasn't contact or that the contact was incidental on the play?

He's saying calling it a "clear foul" is horse sht.

I still have yet to see a video of the fouls that were allegedly missed.

I'm saying that I think the offense initiated the contact and that I thought a no call was the proper call on the play.

Rich, Thank you. I'm still a pup and am trying to learn how to judge contact on a play like that.

The only foul I think MIGHT have been missed was the push on the rebound. But the drive to the basket and the long pass/catch were realy good No Calls IMO

Really? See, I think the long pass/catch was probably the one I would've called a foul (from the comfort of my stool at Hooters, which is where I actually watched the ending). Looked like the St. John's player went right through the Rutgers player to knock the ball clear.

Just goes to show that the no calls weren't simply "the Big East philosophy of no amputation, no foul" but were difficult plays to rule on.

They both jumped into each other. Not sure who you would call the foul on. Neither had the ball and the contact put neither at a big advantage or disadvantage. It was a poorly executed play.

And I was on record yesterday agreeing with that. Good, experienced officials aren't going to bail out a shooter jumping into somebody. And if the defender isn't knocked down,you won't see a charge either.

When they get their evaluations on this game, that no-call will be a + imo.
