Justify what? Why would I have to justify YOUR comment? Now you are just not making sense, which I guess wouldn't be a first.

The mindset: Let the player decide the game. Not realizing officials decide the game when they adjudge to rule that amount of contact as incidental with that little time left on the clock.

Funny, I just watched John Adams' season ending video in which he criticizes a crew for not making a illegal screen call with 9.0 seconds left in a 3-point game and his commentary was basically "a foul is a foul no matter what the time on the clock".

So, I'm wondering, what GROUPTHINK Tank is controlling your thought patterns?

I saw Illinois throw some of the most blatant illegal screens that went uncalled yesterday in quite some time. I wish I had some timestamps to go with my little rant, but I was amazed at how much bad screening the crew allowed.

May be a contributing factor to the fact there was a whole section in this video about illegal screens.

The one I referenced with 9.0 seconds left came under the heading "A foul is a foul".

Are you sure in the judgement of the official the screens were not incidental contact? You know basketball is a contact sport.

I saw at least 2 3-point baskets made because one of the Illinois's bigs illegally stepped in front of the defender. Quite a few others I would've shipped in my games, too.

BNR, my point exactly. My position was at times officials will not make that call towards the end of the game. Opposed to making a similar call in early parts of the game.

Not at this level. At least not if they want to move on.
