Mitchell blames Burdick for Technicals

I don't know what damn game Convoluted was watching because anyone can watch that play over and over again and see that Walker intentionally pushed Izzy to the ground no way that was a flop it was done on purpose. everything you've said have been one sided and in favor of Kentucky just like their coach. are you also going to tell me that Simmons flopped when she was obviously fouled hard by O'neill and stayed down for a while in the final minutes of the game too? it was a physical game from both sides so Mitchell is been biased and Hypocritical by trying to pin it on one of our players as if he's players weren't doing the same thing, there was trash talking and physical play going on from both sides period.

Now you are just trolling. About all I can say is I hope the refs favor UConn in the tournament in exactly the same manner they favored UT in the KY game. If there is anyone who deserves to see that happen it is you Convoluted. I am sure your knickers would be completely twist free were that to occur.

If Cierra had gotten a foul for clenching her fists and advancing towards a player who just knocked down her teammate it would be the first time in over 40 years of watching college sports that I would have seen such a thing happen. I am not sure why you would think that should happen other than as a way to piss people off. I don't think for a second you actually believe what you wrote in that regard. Suffice it to say, were angry advances always technicals Geno wouldn't get to see the end of very many games... and he does it to officials.

I think Cierra showed great restraint in only getting a technical for mouthing off given the circumstances. I am sure it was warranted, but I am also sure it probably wasn't much worse than the language Geno uses when yelling at his own players, or ordering dinner for that matter.

I am not sure what this board's policy is in regards to trolling. I think that is what you are doing here with this post since it in no way comports with reality. You call for a technical for a player based on her not hitting another player and not committing a foul on another player. Then you defend the girl who did shove or hit another player. You accuse Izzy of flopping when she had position on the KY girl, and Walker had every incentive to try to move her off the block.

Then you have the temerity to mock us for being upset over the officiating. I am not one for throwing people off boards since I think the lack of character you are displaying is its own indictment and your arguments are infantile and easily disposed of. They simply aren't likely to be believed by anyone who watched the game or who knows anything about basketball. But boards have policies and I will not be sad to see you go should the mods choose to see you off. You aren't adding anything here... and more importantly... you aren't fooling anyone.

In short, you troll about as well as SEC officials officiate.

It appears you think anyone with an opinion that differs from yours is a troll.

If the refs treat uconn like they treated the LVs, that would be fine with me.

Perhaps Burdick did get the foul for fist clenching and the agressive move toward Walker. If you haven't seen people get a flagrant 1 foul for aggressive behavior, often called unsportsmanlike conduct, you haven't seen many games. Remember, Holly thought the flagrant1's were appropriate, so she must have thought Burdick did something. I'm sure you know coaches have greater latitude in expressing their displeasure than do players. So Geno or Holly mouthing off is more acceptable.

Regarding comporting - you've been listening to Doris Burke too much.

It's ironic that you want me thrown off the board for disagreeing with you and stating what the refs might be thinking, all of which is perfectly legal on this board. But
you make personal attacks against me, actions that ARE against the board's rules. But don't worry, I forgive you. We just disagree on a few things. I understand your position. The tournament should be fun.

Well.....I was there, on that end of the court, and we also DVRd it and watched when we got home. My take: It was an intentional and "unnecessary" foul and refs should have called both a flagrant and technical on Walker. Also my take, if the refs had handled the situation appropriately, then the subsequent technicals would never have occured. Walker would have been properly handled and tempers would not have gotten out of hand (Jones and Stallworth). This is based on the belief that if Walker had gotten a technical, Cierra would not have gotten so upset. Don't ask me about Walker, she really went off. Made me wonder if that was the reason the refs didn't hit her with a T earlier; they were scared of her! And I could see why; she was down right frightening. Wish we had audio as well as video; I would love to know what was said. My last take: Matthew should have kept his mouth shut re "that player". An inappropriate comment for a coach to make about a player, an adult about a youth. A low class comment by a man who certainly knows better. He is probably already sorry his temper and frustration got the better of his sense and manners. As to trolls; sure appears to be one skulking around.

If you've followed Convoluted's posts this season, it's easy to see her bitterness and defensiveness. The Lady Vols program hasn't collapsed in ruins and shame around a heap of ashes once known as Holly Warlick. Instead it left Duluth, Georgia last weekend as Champions. And that's just not how Convoluted scripted it.

Back to the topic at hand. It's well established that Mitchell likes to recruit thugs to suit his style of play. Looks like he got a good one in Walker. Ran it back and played the incident in slow motion and there was absolutely no basketball play by walker. In fact she just assaulted her with the intention of starting a fight. I think they wanted Izzy out of the game. Its also obvious in slow motion what Walker is saying to Burdick,cussing and dropping the F bomb. Just my opinion but Mitchell runs a nasty no class program

With 8:34 remaining in the game Carter made an entry pass to Harrison, who was guarded by Walker. Harrison turned her back to Walker and cut crosscourt heading toward Walker who held her ground. When Harrison got near, Walker pushed Harrison with her hip and forearm. Harrison flopped/fell to the court.
With her fists clenched, Burdick immediately took three threatening steps toward Walker. Walker did not retreat. Both their mouths were moving. Graves moved between the two and pushed Bur dick back. Holly then told Lisa Mattingly, “That’s the right call.”

Perhaps the refs didn't want to call a foul on KY because just previous to that play, there were three bad calls in a row that went TN's way.

The only thing that connvoluted has right is the time of occurrence.I have wondered why the intent to cover up Samarie Walker's thuggish acts,then I remembered that the co-president of the Aurriemma Sycophant Society will always try to cover for Geno's girls,even one that transferred.Walker hit Izzy with a forearm shiver while bodying her with thigh and upper leg,all the time making no play on the ball or disguising that what she did was intentional. Yes, it should have been a flagrant foul with the Lady Vols getting two shots and ball possession.Technical fouls on Burdick and Walker came later,when with Graves walking Burdick away,Walker again started mouthing from Kentucky's huddle.Lisa Maddingly had to check Tennessee's huddle to see who she was talking to before calling the t's.And,no,Holly,it did not end up being the right call,except the two t's on Burdick and Walker for jawing. I think that may be what Holly agreed with on the call.As for conn getting the calls like the LV's,they don't know how to play five against eight, which the LV's have been doing for some years now.Geno would never last the first half of any game.He and his teams are used to playing eight on five,just as Kentucky is. As other posters have noted, had the officials handled the first episode in the way they should have,the second episode would not have happened.

Convulated not once did you call out any of the Kentucky players for their actions or try to hold them accountable for what they did during the game like you're doing with Burdick. you seem to have no problems with what Walker did as a matter of fact you've been trying to justify her actions while crucifying Burdick for her reaction to walker's intentional foul on Harrison. GTFOH with that nonsense.

All I've done is pointed out the team's shortcomings to Holly. It appears that she's taken them to heart and made modifications that have improved the team. Thus I think I've been a big factor in the team's late season success.

Yes Walker did foul, but I'd hardly consider it flagrant. It was a push, but not a take down. Izzy did that part on her own.

I won't say he runs a no class program however I think his does encourage his players to play rough to the point it is a mugging. Prior to this year it worked really well. This year with the change in foul calls UK's defense ("40 minutes of mauling") was left with no teeth which left them discombobulated in the early part of the season to the point that UK abandoned full court pressing.

Thanks for the compliment and the promotion. You can conjecture all you want about what happened. What I know for sure is Holly agrees with me that the fouls issued were appropriate.

Perhaps UT should do what uconn does if it is felt that it’s 5 against 8. Just jump out to a 30 to 5 lead in the first 10 minutes to cover for any errors in officiating.

It’s amusing that many posters here only see transgressions against UT. Unfairness by officials to the opposition are rarely observed or mentioned. For instance, I mentioned 3 bad calls against KY but no one here acknowledged them. Perhaps if posters here were more even handed in their comments, posters would be more respected. Criticizing a coached hair or trying to disrespect the greatest coach that ever lived by calling him Aurienema, a cheat or worse is just childish.

Conn,it's only conjecture when you don't see what happens and are guessing about it.What is on tape does not lie.The foul on Harrison was a push with no intent to play the ball which makes it intentional,and should have been called that way. As previously stated,just because Holly said that's the right call doesn't make it so. As for your assertion that immediately prior to Walker's thuggish actions three bad calls in a row went against Kentucky,that is not accurate either.The tape doesn't spare anything that happens.Your greatest coach attribution has been and should be met with derision.

^ Agreed. The "3 bad calls" that supposedly went Tennessee's way just aren't there. That's Convoluted's biased opinion. And I've yet to find documented evidence that Coach Warlick agrees with Convoluted that the "right call" was calling a technical on Burdick. My interpretation is that CW thought the technical was a "good call" to finally clean up Kentucky's rough, provoking play.
