They have to learn proper context and usage at some point. Might as well be while they can practice it in your presence for proper critique and guidance.
I'm guessing officials will be with us for some time.......

I'd like clarification before I disagree with you. Are you talking backing down by keeping contact with the defender with your backside while dribbling to feel where he is so you can cleanly pivot and make a basketball move to the rim OR are you talking the repetitive WWE two legged thrust to see if you can knock the defender out of bounds so you can get close to the rim because that is all your weight lifting mind can comprehend?
If its the later and the defender has even the slightest legal guarding position, I'm giving it the defender 110 out of 100 times. I HATE that ****.
I've always kinda hated Wisconsin and didn't know why. This guy kinda personifies that for me.
Parts of their fanbase have that 'we don't recruit thugs'-ness about them when it's clear as day that one of their most popular players is an absolute thug.
I've always liked them actually. (sorry). Just felt they are always fundamentally sound and get the most out of their teams. WHICH made it even cooler to me (and impressed) that we beat them!!
You are dating yourself. But that's ok. Sutherland was as bad or worse and it seemed like we faced him 18 times.
I did not see all the crap this wisky kid was doing, but the conditt block, got me sent to another part of the house. Wife had heard enough yelling i guess.
Because I have no life, I re-watched the game just to count how many times Davison went sprawling onto the floor. The official count was 17 times. Pretty sure he leads the NCAA in minutes played from a horizontal position.

What I saw with this clown was the worst display I have ever seen. Sutherland isn't even close, and he was bad. This was just a gutless display and has no place in any competition. Says a lot about Wisconsin Al basketball and Guard tgat he let this take place for 5 years. Davison shouldn't ever be allowed near a court ever again.
Finally...another great topic that hit a nerve for me. I don't post or reply often. I never had really seen wisconsin play let alone had I watched or even heard of the guy with #34 until our game Sunday night. I avoid watching the Big 10 more than I need to.
I didn't know and hadn't heard one single thing about any player on the wisconsin team before watching. However, once I watched and saw how Davison behaved and played, I knew I didn't like his attitude/on court personality. I made comments to other family members about his pouty, spoiled brat on court behavior; his whining and pleading with officials and others. I just don't care for it.
Then.....I was looking at twitter feeds and references to TOE forums where they talked about him.....they don't like him either it seems. They have have hated this guy for years......even though they are the TOE, the fans perception directly paralleled my initial take on him.....that confirmed to me that this guy is not really thought of highly from a sportsmanship standpoint nor much respect is given to him across the board. Glad we could do the TOE fans a favor and end his career in front of a home crowd in his home state and keep him out of the Windy City next weekend so that his fans wouldn't be there.
Davison is getting crap and rightfully so but I don't think Davis gets called out enough. He was a whiny little punk, who couldn't handle the way we defend. I love that Gabe basically destroyed him after he tried to trash talk. GK's two baskets down the stretch going one on one with Davis were big before I knew about the trash talking. Taking it right to him to seal the game is even sweeter now.
Southerland was maddening for sure. He was more like a mix between Bohannon and this piece of crap. I don't remember him doing anything close to this guy like taking nut shots on purpose. He was more just a total **** on the floor at all times. This guy is super dirty. He is like a mix of Grayson Allen and Southerland having a baby and never telling the baby "You can't do that".

This dude has radar for people's ankles, too. I'm surprised he hasn't caused more injuries.
I'm also surprised he hasn't taken a ton of subtle and not-subtle retaliatory shots.
Most recent article in The Athletic. They don't talk about our game in the article, but take note of the photo they used to sell the article. Perhaps the article chosen was customized for known Cyclone fans.
Q&A: NCAA officials coordinator on controversy around calls in men’s tournament
Thank you for posting this and expressing yourself in the way you did in the post! It cracked me up from the moment I clicked on it and it is still entertaining me!
Put it this way, I never would want to see a player get hurt. Davison and Grayson Allen are the exceptions. Just a shame, and completely unsurprising that Gard and Ratface didn't feel the need to address it and let them keep putting other players at risk for injury.
Well, if you can’t hook up with someone, after awhile I guess you just have to date yourself. Do you have to buy yourself dinner first?
How crazy is it that we have 11 pages on this dude and we played him once. Can you imagine playing him twice a year for 4 or 5 years. He is one of those guys that would make me want to punch him after the game. I honestly think if someone punched this dude, nobody would feel bad. Like everyone would be totally fine with it. Pretty much like a certain other player that we know really well that got socked in the face and nobody felt bad. Everyone just said "yep that makes sense" .
