Great no call at the collegiate level. At high school level, it might be a different story.

Why ... behavior and maturity aren't expected at the college level?

He didn't push off, duh..

I would beg to differ ... so would Byron Russell.

But is anyone going to argue that CDR didn't slam the ball down? Or that slamming the ball isn't cause for a technical foul?

Hey, I'm on your side ... :lol:

See Jordan vs Jazz, and tell me if they make that push off call midway through a game in the regular season...

Did Jordan ever get called for a push-off? :lol:

Why? Isn't it a T foul at both levels. I would think a college player should be more mature then a Highschool player. I really like the way some on this board use the word no call. So what is the explanation of No Call in the rule book.

I didn't think that he ever committed a foul.... Ever...:lol:

No matter what the call is it should be the same at anytime during the game. Slamming the ball is a T and should be called no matter what the circumstance. Sure CDR was made at himself, but that doesn't make it right. The Rush undercut should have been an intentional foul. The intentional foul has to be one of the biggest jokes in College Basketball. It needs to be done away with and just have the flagrant foul called. I also think that if a flagrant foul is called it should have a stiffer penalty of some kind. Like giving the player who comments the foul 2 fouls. One for the foul and one for it being flagrant. IMO, Refs are way to inconsistent on their calls. Some swallow their whistles at the end of the game on the same thing they have been calling all game. I don't care what time of the game it is a violation is still a violation. Why does it have to change in the last 2 minutes of the game. Is there something in the rule book that says in the final 2 minutes that the Refs can change the the existing rules. The game should be called the same from beginning to end. So what if a call at the end is a game changing call, so be it. Swallowing the whistle at the end is a cowards way out, JMO.

 

Very well said and I agree totally!

For those who think the game shouldn't be officiated a little differently down the stretch, I assume you were alright with the bump call at the end of the UConn Villanova game. Truth is in a tight game officials shouldn't allow an insignificant play determine the outcome of the game. Let the kids determine it on the floor.

 

BTW is there a specific rule stating that if the ball is slammed to the floor and bounces to a certain height it is automatically a T?

What makes a call significant or insignificant? They are all significant..

A push with less than a second left on the clock 70 feet from the basket would be insignificant where as if the same call was made with 10 minutes left and it saved a posession it may be significant. You cannot tell me that a kid slamming the ball in frustration would determine the outcome of a game, so Insignificant! This was not a matter of him showing anybody up or taunting anybody, so you can't use the trying to control the game excuse.

Catch the ball then and don't let it fly over your head..

I never said it was a wise desision. As soon as I saw it I thought it would be called, but was pleasently surprised. Keeping your cool is a part of the game, I am just inclined to give a break to a kid who had a brainfart.

BTW do you no the official ruling on whether it is an automatic T or not

Another reason why he should have been T'd up. No KU player lost his cool like that the entire game.
