Disagree 100%. If Georgia is poorly coached enough to fall for that play, that's their fault. Just another example of the fact Tom Eads is one of the most gutless disgraces to ever officiate college basketball. BCG should have knocked that rent a pig out of the way and given Eads what he deserved.

As bad as I hate UK, you are right. The one thing UK should have done differently is that Bradley should have been facing the inbounds passer, then they'd have gotten the call, he'd have still trucked him.

HAAHHAAHAH LOL

It was worth the wait.....lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:

 

[GoVols817]

"first come first served" looks pretty good right now!

...oh well.

Hell, it wouldn't surprise me for them to put tickets to the finals on sale now. They don't have to worry about UK fans flooding the place with extended family.

Heheheh. It was a hard foul and a horrible no-call, but I can't bring myself to shed a tear for UK.

That was one of the worst no calls I have seen in a long, long while.

If Kentucky is poorly coached enough to have to utilize that play as a last ditch effort against a team they should have blown out in overtime and it doesn't get called and then in turn they foul and block a free throw in the following play resulting in a technical foul and a two possession lead, then it's their fault.

Theres already 7 threads on Catspause complaining about officiating :birgits_giggle:

of course, even though UGa had more total fouls.

I'd treat that play like a pick personally and I've never seen a ref call a foul on someone running into the pick

 

[cardvolfan]

I had to laugh when the TV showed the three co-eds in blue with their hands over their mouths as if to say, "oh my gosh, we just lost." Also, Gillespie stormed off the court barely shaking anyone's hand.....another display of the lack of class that runs rampant with UK. Love it....love it......love it. When you win, it is easy to have class, but when you lose, it is NOT SO EASY TO HAVE CLASS.

How great was that!!!! BCG getting hip-checked by a GA state trooper!!! hahaha see ya little blue

It doesn't bother me that Kentucky lost. It bothers me that guys lacking the spine to make obvious calls at the end of a game are officiating at college basketball's highest level.

 

[Heebs]

You'd think with 7 titles, a program would know a thing or two about class.

The huge inconsistency between what's a foul and what's not a foul -- often within the same game -- is the worst thing about basketball, IMO. Sometimes they call it like it's an actual sport with men playing it, and sometimes they call it like there are delicate little girls out there. A foul on that play would have been definitely have been the latter.

(I'm not disputing that technically, that probably should have been called a foul. I'm saying that if it IS a foul, then it ought to be called that way all the time, so that I can go watch other sports in which the players aren't treated like they'll break.)

Tend to agree.

Query: is this better or worse than the "Ted Valentine" school of officiating?

 

[emainvol]

bad no-call or not, Kentucky still would have had to hit free throws. Also, considering that Gaines didn't play the overtime, they should have never been in a position for the officiating to decide the game.

(after watching it another couple of times, I will agree that it should have been called)

If that's not a foul, every coach should instruct their players to take running starts and plow over their opponents every time a shot goes up. It'll make rebounding a whole lot easier.

 

[utvolpj]

just got home and watched the ending on espn news. What the heck was that? I understand going for the lane violation but blocking the FT? lol: How does that even enter into a player's head?

 

[VolinArizona]

Some UK fans blaming the SEC, lol

I don't think there is EVER, EVER, EVER a time where there can be that much physical contact or that kind of collision and NOTHING be called. You have to call something, but you cannot be afraid to blow your whistle if it's that obvious.

 

[allvol123]

Did someone gain an advantage from the contact?

There's a big difference between that and a player flopping over because he deliberately tried to get run into, especially when neither of them had the ball. What happened to, "If it ain't rough, it ain't right"?

 

[GoVols817]

Did someone gain an advantage from the contact?

Yes, the idea was to set a pick to get the inbounds passer a clear pass and by running over Bradley, that didn't happen and a T.O. had to be called.

As I said, if Bradley had been facing the passer, he'd have gotten the call.

There's that much physical contact on half the rebounds in a game. If they're going to call it that way, fine, but call it that way EVERY TIME so that the rest of us can go watch something else instead of free-throw shooting contests.

yep

I think the fact that nobody had an advantage, end of game and giving free points on a contrived scenario is the reason nothing was called. Two minutes earlier, that's a foul.
