Precisely. I only am saying that a call that was a poor call lead to the circumstances that drew the T compounding the magnitude of the situation.

I never said or implied anything questing the integrity or honesty of the official....just that his poor call selection had a greater impact than the call itself.

An as far as how many here are agreeing with the IF, it is a very small number....I think I only saw 1 or 2. They player's hand was reaching right at the ball. He doesn't have to be successful at getting the ball for it to be common. We also tend to automatically support other officials who call T's, sometimes without objectively considering the situation.

We are not saying the T was unwarranted, we are just saying we wish the official got the play right in the first place. Just like that play in the UCONN game and just like a play I had on Saturday. If I get the first play right, my partner doesn't have to make a very tough call on the ensuing action.

Common foul. But the T was deserved I'm sure. Too bad he upgraded the foul to an INT though.

Having said that, I would definitely talk to B1 because I do think he unnecessarily contacted A1.

I do see the bear hug and the arm hook was a poor attempt to play the ball, imho. And I say this even as A1 embellished. I may speak to him too.
