UCONN Coach Ejected--Video Request
UCONN Coach ejected at about the 13:00 mark of the 2nd half of the UCONN vs UL game tonight. Can someone post video of the play that led to the ejection?

#1) That's a foul;
#2) Kevin Ollie earned the first T, no question. #3) After first T, Ollie throws an F-bomb at Stuart, so 2nd T earned. #4) Dickie V, sounds like an idiot. I hate the phrase "fighting for his player", it's code for "acting a$$ when a ref misses a call" <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/OhTTPWPHVG0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Agree. We all miss them. I missed a couple last night that I know were probably obvious form a different view but sometimes you just get caught in the wrong spot. And that looks to be the case here.

It appears that the defender would have missed the ball-handler if the ball-handler hadn't purposely moved to his right to draw the contact and, that sideways movement was not part of a normal attempt to shoot.

I think it is a valid point that when players throw themselves into other players, you lose the benefit of the doubt in many cases. I agree this is a foul, but it would have made me think of it when the offensive player throws himself into the defender.
That also being said, he was yelling at the wrong official. The official that would have had this call was the T, not the L. I would not be surprised if the L was not even looking there. So mistake number 1 was Ollie is yelling at the wrong guy. I probably would not have called anything either from his position on this play. Not when the shooter throws himself into the guy and that is where most of the contact came from. Peace |

That said, assuming that a foul was called here, should we put the shooter on the line? I say no. He takes a dribble when he makes the move to his right and hasn't gathered at the time of contact. Thoughts? |

4) On the rare occasion when I have time to watch, if Dickie V is doing the game, I watch something else. |
Definitely a foul.
Definitely not a shooting foul. Definitely a T in HS, even if a foul was called. I gotta think the same is true in NCAA. I know in FIBA it would be. Definitely a 2nd T. Times like this I think about something called a "continuing action T foul". He dissatisfaction is all in one action. I would support a rule change where the 1st T is upgraded to a flagrant for the continued harassment. |

I also find it pathetic that a D-1 coach has to be restrained by his 20-ish year old players. |
I think he only got one T on that play. I believe he had gotten a T earlier in the game. At least that's the way I heard it on ESPN.

The offensive player got fouled, but his embellishment of the foul was unnecessary and made it look a lot worse than it was. |
