[rsl]

I like the no call.

It should be emphasized that a foul call here would not have put UC-Irvine on the line–Louisville was using its remaining fouls to give.

I liked it, too.

What made you guys like a no call?

What does it matter even if it was a "TAKE FOUL" (which is what it was), that's an OBVIOUS FOUL

It gives off the perception to many paranoid fans already that the refs are on the scoreboard and are just trying to get out of there. . .

I don't see any illegal contact. The defender went for the ball and cleanly knocked the ball loose. A different camera angle might make me change my mind, but from the angle provided I don't see a foul.

Now, the writing of the article? Absolutely terrible. I'm going to look for a sports journalism forum and go bash Chris Chase.

As soon as I read the name Chris Chase, it sparked my memory, there are already plenty of Chase bashing sites out there! He is terrible

Those kind of fans don't deserve a second thought.

I have no problem questioning a specific call, but using said call to question an official's integrity is outrageous.

FWIW, I would've had a foul on the play. I think the contact came before the defender got to the ball.

[Camron Rust]

From the only video I've seen, I can't even say whether there was contact or not. Certainly not good enough to question the call.

Even if there was contact, it is possible that the defender had already poked the ball away making it a lot harder to justify the contact was a foul.

I'm sorry, but since when is it our job to care what said "paranoid fans" think?

Good luck in your officiating pursuits if you adjudicate plays based on the perceptions of "paranoid fans."
