Bad Calls Compilation Video
- Thread starter MLawrence
- Start date
One of the most amazing things I witnessed in real life was the ball placement of the UT game last year. I was kind of hoping someone could do a compilation of all the plays followed by the placements. It was astounding. To get a first down on multiple downs ISU had to gain at least 12 yards.
Yeah, I know, a LOT of work.
Yeah, I know, a LOT of work.
If U look its an easy block call as Shirley left his feet BEFORE the defender established "legal guarding position" and in essence must allow the offensive player to land without impeding. Cannot remember ever in an NCAA Tournament game when a BLARGE was called and neither official backed down.
How about a few years ago in Iowa City, a 5'10" CB, was called for going "helmet to helmet" with a 6'5" TE who caused a fumble that woulda resulted in an Iowa State recovery with the lead! Instead the flag flew VERY late & not only was Iowa able to keep possession but also gained an extra 15 yards with a new set of downs who went on to score a TD & take the lead!
You do not have to go to the ground to complete a catch. That has never been a rule. You can drop to your knees to complete a catch or do many other things.
Its about control. West would have never gone to the ground beyond his knees because thats what he dropped to.
You do not have to go to the ground to complete a catch!!!!@@@@
Of course you don't have to go to the ground, but if you do go to the ground you have to maintain control throughout the entire process of going to the ground.
Would it be possible to just show him getting fouled on the shot? Just enough to show it wasn't a 1 and 1?

Well done. If I remember right, the referee spoke on two occasions in this compilation. Same ref/crew.
Once your knees hit and you have control the catch is complete. You do not have to go to your stomach. Or lie down... or roll over or any other nonsense.
Its like something gets repeated so often people just cant realize its not a rule!@!@@@
An player can just drop to his knees to complete a catch. End of story. The rest is just nonsense.
And show the fist pumping Texas Ref that was spotting the ball in between each bad spot.
I don't have a lot of time to tell you how wrong you are so I'll just link a couple excerpts from the rule book that directly show you that you're wrong.
The one problem I had with the play is: was he going down as part of the catch, or was he going down because he made the catch and then afterwards was being brought down by the defensive player? If it is the second one, then he is down by contact once the knee is down. End of play.
The rule is not that if the player has control and then is brought down by the defensive player, the player should have to go all the way down to the ground, wrestle with the defensive player for possession, and then the play is dead.
We can always hope...

Please note that in the 3-point KU debacle, the apocalyptically bad call occurred with ISU down by 10, and we wound up at the end of the game losing by 3 as I recall.. So those folks who say that things like 7 points wrongfully awarded at half time of a game to give a team a 7-point lead was inconsequential in a game that winds up decided by 17 are wrong.. Yes, ISU may not have beaten OSU last Saturday.. maybe even likely would not have. But no one will ever know.. That is a point..
Really?

Rule 2-4-3 para b. Page FR29
Jesus. If we're going to rant and rave to the heavens about the bad calls - let's make damn sure we're no making them ourselves.
Again - it may be a crap rule. But it's still a rule.
And I suppose it's worth noting that the phantom 3 against KU was also done the right way - by the rules. It was pure incompetence to let it occur in the first place. And I think somewhat against the intent of the rule. But still...

Do you know (or does anyone else know) what rule that is or the logic behind it, because I don't understand how it makes more sense to count the basket, have us shoot a free throw, and give us the ball, than to just take the points off.
Don't forget the KU basketball game in Ames when Withey committed what would have been his fifth foul (reaching in) but the refs assigned to another player so he stayed in the game into overtime.
Has there been any game where ISU has not been penetrated by the refs at least once (other than the Nebraska game from a couple of years ago)? If we keep adding every time the refs screwed us, this video will need to have an intermission halfway through it!
