Louisville/Baylor (Women)

[kdays78]

I know this is womens college basketball (I never watch), but wow the refs in this contest were HORRIBLE!!! Yes I am a certified ref and I try to give refs the benefit of the doubt. The cheap shots in the first half (Not called) were horrible, and then the block/charge call with 16.9 left in the game really. If I was Baylor this would be a tough game to take and I hope the officials lose there rank to work tournament games for a few years very sad...

Then I thought they weren't going to call a foul at the end when Griner almost knocked the Louisville player in the front row. And then they called it really late, almost after the fact.

She didn't even displace her. Basically the way the Louisville player flopped, the contact was more with the legs of the Baylor player. I just hated that call, HATED IT!!! And to come from the trail, and very late after it appeared the play was over was worse. Trust your damn partners.

Exactly how I felt. Hated the call and where it came from.

And I'm glad they showed restraint and did not T the Baylor coach there. She lost it for a second but she stopped herself from tossing her jacket and her assistants did a good job of getting her back under control.

Looked like he didn't want to call a foul there at the end.

But they just T'd up the UL coach for something and the BU coach went off. I will admit I kind of enjoyed that part, but was shocked they let it go. This is why that first T better have been a good one or something was said that was so over the top it had to be called. But the actions by the BU coach could not have been much worse. Very inconsistent if you ask me.

Agreed, depending on what he said, of course. But that sure looked bad.

I also didn't like the charge call that led her to go nuts, but it wasn't turrible.

Ok. I didnt see the T on the UL coach.

I saw Baylor was down late and only saw the last 2 minutes or so.

It was right before you turned it on, then. Great PC call, but the coach was visibly much more subdued than the Baylor coach was later when she didn't get tagged.

There may be good reasons, since we don't know what he said, but it sure looks bad.

He wanted to go with an out of bounds call. Had to call that foul.

[JRutledge]

And for the record I have no problem giving a T to the UL coach if he said something, just be prepared to do the same less than a minute later.

On twitter, someone I follow said the only thing Kim Mulkey needed after that call was a brass pole.

And agree the one on Griner at the end it appeared they didn't want to call it.

This was a POOR call. Defender clearly not in LGP prior to shooter leaving the floor.

Mulkey continued on the officiating in her press conference.
