Mich state v. Virginia (Video)

[canuckrefguy]

Push off was in the last :30 I believe, throw-in in MSU's backcourt, right in front of Virginia's bench.

Play 1: Unsporting technical

Play 2: TC

[canuckrefguy]

First play: definitely worth a warning if it keeps happening - but a T on this play probably eliminates any other BS.

Second play: T might have been stacked on that play - but C couldn't have a better view. New L probably has a view but is nowhere near enough to have a whistle.

The problem is he did that same thing 3 times that game..the taunting...nothing ever was said as far as I could see

Did he push off? Yes. But it was to free himself. Defender was holding him first. Had his arm wrapped around his back.

At no point do I see the defender's arm "wrapped".

They are in close quarters, but there's no hold there.

Agreed, call the hold and we don't have to worry about the push.
