POLL: Was this a foul?

[FragMcNasty]

 

[VolBricks]

no, there is no such thing as a foul on Edey.
Why was DK trying to score a 2 pt basket down 5 with 30 seconds to go? we needed 3's which he was hitting

 

[CAVPUT]

It's over.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Whoever voted no should just stop watching sports in general

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Of all the no-calls, that was least egregious. There were very bad ones throughout the game

 

[Putbacks]

Yes, watch Edey’s right hip and right knee. Officials just watch the ball.

 

[berryvol]

How in the world would that be a foul? You guys are reaching big time to cope here.

Maybe he's trying to draw the 'and one'.

Two possession game, teams probably guarding 3 point line good time for a 2. Got to get a 3 but not necessarily on that possession

Of all the calls/no calls to complain about...

 

[Putbacks]

I judge it holistically—not in isolation. How does it compare to what was getting whistled on us?

 

[GAVol]

It's over.

And it was over when that no call happened.

 

[Putbacks]

How do Awaka’s 4th and 5th foul calls look against this play?

 

[spyfish007]

It's over.

And somehow I got sucked into this thread. Again. Baseball time!

 

[VolNGA1]

It was a huge play that really shut the door on the Vols comeback try. No it wasn't a foul. However, we all know if the roles were reversed it would have been called a foul on Knecht. In 20/20 hindsight there were several other ways Knecht could have handled this that might have been a lot better, like kicking it to a wide open Gainey on the right. But in the heat of the moment, no one can really fault him,

 

[BruisedOrange]

If there was a foul on that play, there's no way from this camera's angle behind the defensive player that we could possibly know. Wrong angle for making that complaint.

Decades of experimental proof says that we can't believe our own two eyes. We humans often "see" what we expect to see, even when it isn't there.

Foul, not a foul, I don't care, I just want NC State to paint the walls with Purdue's blood so I can stop thinking about it.

Let their little regional trophy they filmed themselves taking back to Purdue be the tombstone for their stupid season.

I fear you may be disappointed. I'm in the camp that if we're going to lose, better to lose the eventual champion.

Your body doesn't go flying if the defender gets all ball

 

[volbound1700]

I don't see how you can make any judgement based on that video. It is hard to see if they make contact or not since the action is on the opposite side of the floor and you can only see the backs of the players.

 

[Jr_Vol#]

Everyone wearing orange other than Mashack was just standing in place watching Knecht on that play plus didn't follow him for the rebound. I would think with the time remaining they would fight for the ball or at the very least be able to foul quicker. Just my thoughts on the play which I admit could be wrong.

It's the worst angle to make that call, and it's interesting given the plethora of cameras that we never got a replay from the other side.

 

[PACKERVOL]

He clearly hacked Dalton on the arm during his shot. 2 free throws.

They are standing outside like they do for anyone driving so the driver can kick to him if their defender helps. That’s what they are supposed to do. ESPECIALLY the ball side guys. Mashack did follow
but the shot never even got into a rebounding position.

Really? It's not actually the last 7:53, just watch for a couple seconds.

Of all the no calls to whine about, this is not it.
