My guess is I'm going to be seeing this play again in the fall as part of the NCAAW officiating video under "Bench Decorum."

Regarding the drive. That's not mauled. It's a foul, and it's one I would call, but it hardly warrants the fit Kgeno throws.

[Rich]

Didn't seem to have a strong C on that drive.

At first I thought there was a travel to start the drive, but I was wrong.

Um yeah, someone has to have something on that shot. Geno should've been T'ed earlier than what he was but the rope was probably pretty long due to the missed call.

I thought Geno should've been in the previous game when screaming across the court 'you're terrible.' Pretty sure there was an f-bomb in there too.

That's not going to be much of an excuse once the phone call comes from the observer and/or Debbie Williamson (if the crew didn't all have messages on their cells by the time they hit the locker for halftime I'd be shocked).

For at least the last three years the NCAAW officiating video has included a section on bench decorum (and yes, Geno has been prominent). Geno not getting rung up immediately when he's at the division line?

Thank you. My initial thought upon reading mj's offered excuse was, "I hope not."

He still should act like an adult.

I really hope that the thinking of the officials on that play wasn't, "well the block up above was clean so let's ignore the body contact." 90% block and 10% body I can live with. That did not fit that philosophy.

How can that not T him up immediately when he is at mid-court? And by the way, it doesn't frickin' matter who T's him up. Anyone can get him. Was it because he wasn't on their end of the floor when he exploded or because they thought they might have missed the call? Geeze, I get tired of those excuses for not calling a T.

Dumb Tech.. why not just wait another 7 seconds and take your verbal shot walking to the locker room thus not giving the other team points. I like the no call. Great Block

The officials really messed up on this one. First, the missed call on the shot was terrible. Then to not call a T on Geno when he was at half court with his assistant having to pull him back was inexcusable. I don't know what the officials were looking at after the play.

The other question I have is how close was the other UConn assistant to getting a T after Geno's T. I can't read lips, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't telling the ref "great call" when she starts chewing the ref out.
