A previous post asked how Calipari could have had anything to do with it.

I answered his question. There's no evidence in the video to suggest that Calipari had anything to do with it, and I'm not making things up. I said I was speculating, though maybe that was a poor choice of words.

I'm not suggesting officials need to be on the lookout for such things. They have enough to worry about in games like that.

If this is the most ridiculous thing you've read on the forum, you haven't been around for very long.

Jeff, come on. Quote me where I accuse Calipari of having anything to do with this!

Anytime you post a link, there is a place where you have the opportunity put the nature of the video or link in your own words.

This is the part that I am taking issue with[Video] | The Big Lead

Or the link would look like this.

It does not make me any difference, I am just stating you posted this video. I think there are holes in the way the situation is being made out to be that is all. And I am not one not to put much beyond a coach either.

Peace

I posted the link verbatim from the website. If anyone thinks that by leaving the link as is, I am in any way agreeing with said link, then they are incredibly naive.

If I must edit the link of everything I post in order to be PC, then so be it. But don't put words in my mouth because I copied and pasted a link directly from another website.

Don't take what I said so personally. I am just stating you posted the link and the video. I am giving you my perspective on the situation just like others did. It does not mean that what people see is right or wrong. It just means there are other explanations. But you cannot get upset with anyone when they do not see what you see. Again, this looks like a typical situation where the wrong player thinks they are shooting and we tell them that the right player should go to the line. It has happen several times over the years with me personally and I would not suspect anything different took place here with a coach that is on the other side of the court.

I had PVR'd the game and went back to watch. On the broadcast, you can see referee Ed Corbett signaling the foul on #2 when reporting to the table. That part is clear.

As to whether Calipari had anything to do with it, I have no idea. I do know that a friend of mine played for a coach who encouraged his players to try and get away with that stuff. My friend did not play for Coach Cal though.:)

Your perspective is what I want. Not baseless accusations. It looks to me like some funny business happened. You don't agree? That's OK with me.

Well there's another piece to the puzzle. So Noel should have been at the line for sure, and not Poythress.

Either the officials screwed up by directing Poythress to the line, or Kentucky pulled a trick and got away with it.

That is what I gave you. You just did not accept it. And that is OK with me. ;)

Peace

I never told you that you are wrong, I argued back and forth with you.

I did not say I was right. I just do not see anything that suggests something nefarious took place on the coach's part. Who knows what the coach tells these guys behind closed doors. I just see nothing in the video and it appears I am seeing what others are seeing. And you are a IU fan and alum, so that tells me a lot of why you might think Coach Cal was up to something. ;)

Peace

Haha while my Hoosier fandom is no secret, rest assured it's not blinding.

The perception of Calipari is that he cheats OFF the court, not on it.

Ah, no. Like I said, I couldn't care less what the guy who wrote the article thinks. I simply looked at the video.

No doubt in my mind there was confusion on who was fouled.

Since I don't officiate basketball, I have a couple questions. What is the penalty for switching shooters? Is the penalty the same for NCAA and Fed?

NFHS If it is ruled an act of deception it is a technical foul.
