National Championship

Marshall Plumlee played significant minutes in a national championship and they still won

That's a testament to coach k

I just love the college game. I always will. But your point is valid for most.

I love it somewhat unconditionally, but I can't pop on a random game in January anymore and be satisfied. They were on the right track with forcing in more blocks on the block/charge call last season but reversing that decision this year made scoring that much harder. Less scoring = less entertaining basketball. No one's dying to watch 57 possession games.

I'm scared that this will be an underreported story. Marshall freaking Plumlee!

10 national titles. Period.

and all ten were accomplished more illegally than anything Calipari or UNC ever thought of doing. Period.

That's 1st LT Marshall Plumlee. You leave my butterbar alone.

That were bought in an era with much less parity.

I often wonder how much of our perception of officiating (declining) is tied to more camera angles with slow motion HD detail.

That should give the officials an upper hand when reviewing plays.

Interesting interview by Bo Ryan here...

 

[volinbham]

Bo blaming the refs a bit - not for bad calls but how they called the game overall in terms of contact.

Adjust man and move on.

 

[govols120]

Bo just went in on the officiating. He's right, but probably not the venue to do it.

As a side note, the day he wants to stop overreacting to every foul call against his team will be a good one.

Bo blaming the refs hardcore postgame.

 

[golfballs]

That should give the officials an upper hand when reviewing plays.

They need to have an extra ref that just sits and watches replays

Reggie miller was right. It went both ways

 

[Catbone]

Pats win the Super Bowl. Duke wins the natty. Yankees are gonna win the World Series.

And Ohio State wins football.

Gross year for sports. Still better than UK winning and Bama though

 

[PKT_VOL]

That should give the officials an upper hand when reviewing plays.

Agreed, when it is reviewable. They certainly screw up the tipped ball replay. Normally, I don't buy conspiracy theories, but that call made me question such denials.

However, many calls are not reviewable. Same for other sports.

I agree - my point was if it was a style of officiating you have to adapt and move on.

 

[spankadelphia]

I was pulling for Wisconsin, but anything that causes consternation with the University of Nothing but Cheating and their fans is fine by me.

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

So fouls were 15-13 in Duke's favor with Wisconsin committing several intentional fouls at the end and Ryan's going to complain about the way the game was played? It was physical and they let a lot go on both ends. Doubt he had an issue with Okafor's 3rd foul when he straight up stripped Frank the Tank.

Damn he's sounding like a ***** in his PC. Let it go Bo.

 

[jjay2518]

I agree - my point was if it was a style of officiating you have to adapt and move on.

As long as they were consistent throughout the game. I actually didn't see the first half, but there are plenty of games where the refs decide to change how they tightly they call contact from one half to the next.

 

[govols120]

Also you were up 9 with both Okafor and Winslow on the bench and the game in control.

 

[golfballs]

Now what if frank Kandinsky - in reference to okafor - pulls an Andrew Harrison?

 

[LocoVol]

When the badgers went up 9 and all of a sudden 3,4,5 fouls get called on them almost in a row i knew they were screwed.

 

[volinbham]

Duke "rent a player"? Really Bo?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Now what if frank Kandinsky - in reference to okafor - pulls an Andrew Harrison?

You'll complain about double standards?

Funny, cause I thought the refs were just trying to make up for the terrible foul call #3 against Okafor. The refs screwed up big time, but the better team won, so all is well.
