ND vs Baylor (Women's)- One Person Blarge (Video)

[twocentsworth]

The play in question was definitely an offensive foul (which would have been Odessy Sims 5th foul).

Now fouls number 3 and 4 that were called on her were completely and utterly bogus.

There were a number of instances, calls in favor of each team, that were very suspect. Overall, I would say this crew should have performed better than it did given the fact it was a Regional Final (and you would assume that the assigned officials are of a very high caliber).

Got video of those "bogus" calls?

Or are we just supposed to take your word for it? Cause based on your track record on this forum, don't think anyone is taking your word for it.

Because he didn't want to?

Even though I disagree with the call, there is absolutely no doubt in anybody's mind what Roger called on that play, so I don't see the big deal about a preliminary.

Actually there was. He points a fist in the other direction (charge) but did so in a chopping motion (count the bucket). And how often do you see block/charge plays that are called blocks that don't get a primary signal? Not often.

More often than you guys think. If it's a charge, he wouldn't score the basket.

I see his normal 'count the basket' mechanic. He goes behind the head for PC.

Same reason I wouldn't -- I would come up with the fist and score the basket. Isn't that self-explanatory?

Not at the NCAA men's level where the basket can count if the try was released prior to the charging foul. My point is that it is possible to have both, so counting the basket is not clear.

Exactly.

There is doubt in my mind.

Not at all. Can you tell me why a preliminary signal differentiating whether this is a block or a charge should not be used?

Explain to me what's the difference? Obvious to me he was counting it. I know the NCAAM rule - the call, to me, was obvious.

Picking nits on these guys doesn't strike me as a particular useful use of time.
