Hell no, that's nothing. Never crossed my mind.

Looked like a play on to me. For those who say its a T, I'm sure the play caught the NCAA-W officials off guard. How often do they referee above the rim plays? Would that have been the first T ever for that infraction in a women's game? Nobody wants to be the first to call a T for flopping... I wouldn't want to be the first to call a T in this situation either. What a frickin play!!

And back to the original question no I wouldn't call a T on this.... |
I'm Glad That I Have Two Hands ...

The real question is did she grasp the ring to prevent an injury to herself, or to another player, all legal, or did she grasp it for some other illegal reason. If this were a male player in my high school game (we don't have female high school players who can dunk here in my little corner of Connecticut), I would probably not have charged him (or her) with a technical foul. On the other hand, the grasp seems to last a fraction of a second longer than most that I see, so I would never criticize any who would charge a technical foul. On the other hand, there really isn't any attempt at a "chin up", so I'm back to my original "good no call". How's that for "fence sitting"? Is it too late for me to run for President? Romney, Santorum, Obama, or BillyMac in 2012? A chicken in every pot and a ball in every basket. Tippecanoe and BillyMac too. Read my lips. No new high school rules. Fifty-four forty is better than overtime. |

She did pull up and slap the backboard. She did not just hang there and wait until her momentum allowed her to drop down.
By rule, I'd say it has to be a T. Not saying that I really agree with the rule though ... and in this case if the officials had called it that's ALL that we would be reading about right now! |

Pulling yourself up on the rim has always been "excessive" in the men's game whenever I have heard this issue discussed. |
