Texas-Maryland Womens (Video)

I probably wouldn't.

I might not have had anything on the first action which caused the Md player to go to the floor. But, when that same Texas player dove on the Md player on the floor......I would think that's what she's complaining about, and I'd like to think I'd put air in my whistle there.

Agree with this about hopefully having a whistle for the dive on top of the player, although I don't think that's what the coach was complaining about. She is already jumping up and down outside the coaches box before the defender dives onto her player.

First contact should have been a foul by NCAA-W POE. C had a good look at it but didn't call it. If it had been called, there would be no need to worry about the Coach.

A1 loses her balance and falls on her own. B1 didn't dive on top of A1. So I have nothing but a held ball like the officials did.

MD coach would get a "calm down" from me if I'm the new Lead. But if that's all she's done the entire game I'm not seeing a T for this.

It looks to me the second time I saw this, that the ball handler was falling and the defender was getting out of the way.

I would like to see more to completely dismiss the "dive" onto the ball handler. But I can see for sure why nothing was called.

Peace

I have a foul on the initial defender. The defender never had LGP and is just silly to try and defend like that. If I pass on that, I would have a foul on the defender jumping on top of the other player.

I would whack the coach for that stutter-step down the sideline combined with the arm movement. If I missed that, I would whack the coach for coming out of her huddle to yell and point at the officials again.

The coach also threw a fit with 6:00 left in the second half and the game was close the rest of the way so I assume none of the officials took care of the problem.

100% a foul by the Texas defender. This illegal contact causes the dribbler to go to the floor and lose possession of the ball.
100% a technical foul by the Maryland coach for jumping up and down and hollering.

Are NCAAW officials neutered? This has to be one of the easiest Ts on a coach that is possible.

The contact on the BH/D is one of the plays specifically identified in our (NCAAW) preseason videos that we're supposed to call. I'm surprised no one put a whistle on it. When the C didn't get it the L and T probably figured there hand't been any illegal contact.

And yes, Brenda Freese needed to get a T for going berserk and leaving the coaching box to do so. What she did was identified in last year's preseason video as conduct that must be penalized.

You mean the way NCAAM's officials hand out Ts to coaches every time they lose it on the sidelines?

Seriously?

Are you off your meds again? You make a valid argument for something and then end your post by slamming an entire group of people based on one 20 second clip...smdh.

You are assuming the officials saw the coach's actions and made a decision to not call a technical. There are some actions we don't observe because we are zeroing in on a potential problem area. This is the case with this play with players going to the ground. Unless we start going to the monitor to review all actions on the sideline it is not always "easy" to see the actions (jumping, wave offs, etc) from coaches, bench personnel, fans, etc during live play.

I'm not so sure there was much contact made by the Texas player diving for the loose ball. Looks like there was leg contact, but definitely not torso or full body contact. The MD player 'dove on' pops right up to her feet by the time a held ball is called. No way she gets up that quick if she was dove on, as we all normally would expect that action to look like.

Not sure on whacking the MD coach. Would like to think the new L would have his partners' backs on that one, since both have a lot of on-ball activity and players to deal with. She should at least be talked to and perhaps warned.

BTW, I thought it was a good no-call. Dribbler initiated the contact causing her to go down.

[Rich]

Appears to me that the Texas defender bumped the dribbler. When she falls, I'm grabbing that foul.

B player doesn't have LGP. Even if A initiates the contact, it's a B foul.

[rockyroad]

And that kind of contact on the dribbler is a POE in NCAA-W games this year. Should have been called.

Yes, easy block call. There was nothing legal about the defenders position.

[Multiple Sports]

99 out of 100 officials are going to make that call....simple block.
