March 14, 201313 yr Richmond/Charlotte game. 3 Ts in last 5 seconds costs Richmond. Charlotte Beat Richmond in One of the Craziest Endings Ever, From Down 3 to Up 5 Thanks to Technicals in Final Five Seconds | The Big Lead
March 14, 201313 yr The refs blew this. They have to get disciplined, IMO. I enjoy crushing referees as much as the next guy, but I think you have to call the original T. And the 3-point attempt looked legit as well. The Richmond player who got the original T seemed to claim that the guy he was blocking out had his hand on his head, which I thought was legitimate. Other than that, I'm not sure I disagree with what was called.
March 14, 201313 yr how so? The first T is ridiculous. The Charlotte kid initiated the contact and Richmond got the T. Go in and talk to the kids if iit is getting too physical and let the players decide the game. That changed the whole dynamic of how the game ended. Then, to call the next foul in the act of shooting- seriously? I do not think that was a good call at all. JMO.
March 14, 201313 yr Author The first T is ridiculous. . Is it your opinion that the official should have ignored the forearm to the chest that was thrown by Richmond's big?
March 15, 201313 yr I saw something that said the shove was a deadball foul and thus by definition, a technical. Is this correct Clyde?
March 15, 201313 yr Author I saw something that said the shove was a deadball foul and thus by definition, a technical. Is this correct Clyde? Yes. Ball became dead as soon as it went in. Only option for a dead ball foul is either a T or to simply ignore it. Too much to ignore IMO.
March 15, 201313 yr Yes. Ball became dead as soon as it went in. Only option for a dead ball foul is either a T or to simply ignore it. Too much to ignore IMO. Then to me the blame lies with that defender for not knowing the situation. It's a 1 and 1, you can't lose on that shot for sure.
March 15, 201313 yr Is it your opinion that the official should have ignored the forearm to the chest that was thrown by Richmond's big? IMO, the Charlotte kid went high first. That was ignored. The Richmond kid shoved- the Charlotte kid flopped, IMO. Pull the kids aside and talk to them. Let it be decided on the floor by the players. This game was decided by subjective ref calls, IMO. This is the absolute worst way to have a game end. I am honestly surprised by how many folks on this ite disagree with me on this. The more I watch it the more I hate the calls made.

March 15, 201313 yr IMO it was too much of a shove to ignore. Then why not call the double foul- the Charlotte kid grabs the Richmond kid by the head?
March 15, 201313 yr Author Then why not call the double foul- the Charlotte kid grabs the Richmond kid by the head? I didn't see him grab his head. They were fine until that last shove IMO.
March 15, 201313 yr I didn't see him grab his head. They were fine until that last shove IMO. They actually just showed it on ESPN. They freeze framed the head grab, too. So you do not think the Charlotte kid flopped, either, I assume?
