Final from the Joe

Weird ball game. SK controlled most of the first half, consistently up by 4 - 8 points. Simpson got hot before the end of the half and the lead was cut to 1 at half. 2nd half, Walton stalls and the game was a nail biter the rest of the way. SK got bailed out with an intentional foul call with the score tied at 40, and that was essentially the key moment of the game. Neace only had 2 points and was not aggressive at all. (Sick maybe?);

Wow! How'd Ison do?

Well I def. picked the wrong game to come and watch. Unimpressed with both teams, seems like they were both playing not to win. Multiple wide open shots passed up. WV and SK both holding the ball. If they were up for the fight bonus with UFC tonight both of these teams need not apply.

The intentional foul in the end was a bad call, it was a foul no doubt but probably shouldn't have been called intentional. Resulted in a 1 point advantage to SK in the end so I'm not sure it really impacted the outcome. But you can go into the constant moving screens, phantom fouls, hard contact no fouls all night as well. This crew was really consistent at being inconsistent. However, I don't think they shaded their inconsistency either way. Man that's hard to understand. Almost as hard as this game was.

Ison had her share, but Simpson did more damage in this one.

The bolded is absolutely incorrect. Are you serious? A tie ball game, under a minute, the bogus intentional gave SK two free throws which SK hit one of two AND then the ball out of bounds, of which Walton fouled and SK hit two free throws. The intentional caused a tie game to go to a 3 point game. It changed everything.

 

Then SK with a three point lead and 10 sec left, opts to foul Ison and not let her get a three off. The second time, Ison, the smartest player in the region, shoots the ball. She was fouled shooting a three and after a little ref meeting they decide to call the foul "on the floor" which was clearly incorrect. Instead of three free throws, she gets two. Hits first, missed second on purpose, but SK secures the loose ball. Ball game. It was clearly decided by officials.

Walton did not stall. SK did in the fourth. Walton was patient late in the game.

What happened on the intentional foul?

 

Why was the "on the floor" incorrect? Was the shooter airborne when fouled ?

OK. I didn't see #14 stand out front and dribble the ball near mid court when SK's big was on her. Must of been imagining that going on. If she was attacking I would agree. In fact, SK sent their big out to guard her 30' from the basket and she never really ever attacked. She tried to dribble side to side to kill the clock. I think this went on most of 4th qtr. So if that's not holding the ball then you def. drink wayyyyyy to much WV cool aid.

 

So correct me if I'm wrong. SK has possession of the ball with time slowly running down. WV girl runs at SK player to foul, hard foul so Ref calls intentional because it was a hard foul (again, I stated that I didn't think it should have been intentional). I don't think Walton player was trying to hurt SK player but she clearly was a little overzealous in attempting to foul. I can also tell you that 2 officials signaled intentional so....

SK makes one free throw and repossess the ball. OK. I'm not sure how that resulted in 3 points but whatever. Drink the cool aid.

Regarding your comment on intentional foul at end of game...

Your seriously trying to get a continuation foul 30' from the basket? WV player intentionally fouled but your saying that a one handed throw after the fact was a shot? Drink the cool aid. That IS laughable.

To be honest, WV probably played their type of game but I'm guessing SK is 20+ better when they even play an average game. I know that hurts but its an honest assessment.

Walton inbounded ball at half court and SK immediately fouled WV player. She then throws the ball toward the rim past the volleyball lines. NBA wouldn't even call that continuation, wasnt close to a shot. In fact the throw didn't even hit the backboard.

Intentional foul was made in back court. WV player ran from about 10' away and reached back and swiped the SK player holding the ball. It was not a play on the ball but rather a harder than necessary attempt to foul. Again, as I stated previously, I believe the girl didn't intend to hurt the SK player but really didn't make a play on the ball so that is probably why TWO officials signaled intentional. I would not have called it intentional but I am also not running up and down the floor listening to the constant badgering the officials take. By the book, it was the correct call. Situation, I wish it didn't occur at the time that it did because this is the type of thing you are going to hear regarding the officiating.

I am at a Christmas party. When I get home, I will answer those questions.

 

I watched the video on a small screen. Video looks like she was clearly in the act of shooting, however the screen is too small on the camera to see feet. I will hook it to a computer big screen later.

Calm down. One handed, two handed, from the volleyball line, it doesn't matter, a shove while shooting is a foul.

As per Walton Twitter.

 

Simpson 13

Ison 22

May want to watch on big screen. I'm sorry. Not close to shooting. Your seriously trying to say she was shooting from just past half court with 8 sec on clock? On top of that a one handed throw? Does she shoot one handed throwing style often?

More like attempting to get the ref to call it in act of shooting but unfortunately it was not even close.

Apparently, 3 officials saw it the same way so regardless of what either one of us think it doesn't matter. Only the officials are the ones that count.
