Should've just had Monica do the anthem like she did for one of the Final Four games...that rendition last night was...."interesting."

Indeed....it ranked right up there with the rendition by Rosanne Barr. I usually enjoy the Banner performances at big games....but this one should have never seen the light of day.

PS are you a bit biased because you are from Denver where Verne Harris lives and perhaps you have interacted with him previously? |

For the record, I haven't had the pleasure to interact with Verne Harris, but I thought he did a really nice job last night. |

Original it was (for a good reason) but I'm puzzled how a live performance can be called a remix.

imho, the ball screen and post defense plays were called differently than earlier in the year. Let's see how John Adams "grades out" the crew. From what I've been told, these were the percentage of correct calls (as determined by John Adams) in previous NCAA Championship games: 2010 Duke v Butler: 78% 2009 North Carolina v Mich. St.: 70% btw, the best officials in the NBA (who advance to the playoffs) are in the 94% or better range. |

I thought there were several plays that were fouls and were not called. One play that comes to mind was when a Kansas defender just ran into Teague on the perimeter. Teague did a good job of not traveling as a result of the contact.
I'm not sure which of the officials was where on the calls I thought were fouls and it doesn't really matter to me.

I guess it all boils down to who's teaching it & how long one has been applying this concept. The people who have been practicing this for more than 5 seasons always seem to have a better understanding than those who have been introduced to this in the last few months. Quote:
Have you watched every game that those three worked this year? Perhaps the contact by two great defensive teams that have bigs across the board was considered marginal/incidental since nobody was put at a disadvantage? Afterall, the same contact on a 5'9" player that results in a foul may not be a foul for a 6'9" player. Quote:
I respect your opinion though.

I didn't - and don't - mind it at all. Now if all of a guy's whistles are like that, there's a problem - but since when did having a little personality, presence, and salesmanship become a negative?

I also did not like the fact that quite often both the T and the C were on the ball handler and his defender as the ball was being brought up court and the offense initiated. No pressure - just the two players, and the C is slowly walking up the court with the dribbler and the T. |
