Louisville/Michigan- Natl Championship

[Triad zebra]

Aren't the college and NFHS goaltending rule the same? Does it matter that it touched the backboard?

No, they're not the same. In college, it matters (if the ball is completely above the rim, too.)

Badly missed kick ball then a questionable travel after a lot of contact by the Louisville defenders.

So far this crew ain't doing a good job and the game is starting to get sloppy and out of their control. Very poorly officiated first half.

I do like how they addressed Pitino after his pirouette following a questionable foul call. Looked like Michigan #2 had lost ball and was going to floor on his own before contact.

I agree.

I liked the call after I saw the opposite baseline camera angle.

Agreed. The Louisville player bumped Spike off his path on to the floor.

Two nights ago that was a held ball.

I didn't like the travel call either. It came at 4:43 in the first half.

The delay of game warning the first half......the Louisville guy was over the OOB line, just dancing all over it before the ref stepped in with a warning. The announcers were miffed, I call and see a warning in most high school games. Isn't it that referee's job to keep a count and watch for this? Are you seen as "that" guy for calling it I D1?

This is what will stick with me from this game....

The best play of the game (Burke's block) got penalized.

One of the worst plays of the game (Hancock jumping sideways into a defender when shooting from the corner) got rewarded.

Really? I thought all of those were good fouls. Defenders were making poor plays and they got burned.

And this defender had jumped straight up and down?

If you're calling it every game, you may want to consider adjusting. That doesn't mean you should, but I would consider it unless you're working the highest level to which you're striving.

It's possible you're being too nit picky on when a player is getting close. Of course, it's possible the kids in your area just aren't catching on. I would watch some games at higher levels, and talk to some higher level local officials, and see how they call it.
