Eastern Washington v Georgetown (Video)

[mutantducky]

I saw the replay several times. For NFHS at least it would be a technical and some refs would have ejected him. I was just totally miffed by the no-call. Reggie Miller was against an ejection but even he thought something should be called.


btw off-topic, but the number of ads is killing. I'm kind of skipping a lot of the games. I also think there is some conspiracy that despite there being 3 games going on at once, they all seem to go to break at the same time....
There has to be 20-30 minutes more ads than there used to be.

First, I like for the Trail to keep his eyes on the players while giving his traveling signal.

That said, I have nothing on this play except a bunch of clumsiness.

I don't believe the G'town player intended to hit the EW player, it was just a product of his excitement. Unless something happened before that would make you believe the action was intentional, I have nothing. Seeing the EW player's reaction after getting up and acknowledging the G'town player makes me think the call was correct too.

So, because the ball is dead - the travel call having come previous to the slap in the face - that the contact was not considered to rise to the level of intentional or flagrant, it is no-called?

If that is the case, what if the same contact happened during a live ball situation? It seems to me, that with the emphasis on contact above the shoulders, then such contact would be ruled a common foul. Thoughts?

The non-fighting reaction is a way to show that the previous call was correct, not that it led to the call or non-call. If the EW player had gotten up and was ready to retaliate with a slap or hit of his own, then I'd look again and see if I'd missed something that happened earlier.

Again, I'm not saying the lack of reaction leads to the call, but using that helps to see if the previous call was correct or not.

BTW... what slap to the face? The G'town player hit the EW player in the chest.

Oh, and I'm a Syracuse fan, and do not like G'town.

I was wondering the same thing.

Now I finally understand what's wrong with you!

If this is the right video, I must say that a large number of you have lost your minds. I see ZERO contact to the face. Minimal contact (and inadvertent at that) to the torso, perhaps an arm. And then significant embellishment by the traveller, going to the ground for no reason.
