Watched game again today. Should have been 5 reviews for hits to head. My guess was 2 flagrant 1's and 1 flagrant 2. Not calling 2 technical fouls on coach for being on court and 1 on Harmon for slamming the ball.
Officiating Sunday was one side
- Thread starter NebrClone
- Start date
I didn't know if rules were different for the women's game in regards to reviewing flagrant fouls. The tech on the coach and the player slamming the ball seemed like no brainers to me.
I am so impressed by the mental toughness ISU displayed, especially when calls didn’t go their way. That should serve them well in Knoxville.
The thing I was told after the game was that the fourth official (they have an alternate for tourney games) was at a monitor and reviewed any potential flagrant fouls - if they deemed enough contact they would call the other officials over to look at the play. I do not agree with it, but the fourth official looked at the plays and said to play on. Kind of like the expedited review the NFL uses now.
The shots to the head could have been more, but it has to be seen and then reviewed. Officials could have potentially not seen them.
But Harmon slamming the ball into the rafters in front of the official... WTF?!?

We won and complaints about officiating…
I don't think so. The OU-homer color commentary made a comment during the game about liking the officials not calling it.
There's no flop warning or technical in WBB.
WBB has "intentional" and "disqualifying" fouls. There are similarities to the MBB Flagrant 1 and 2.
My favorite was Lexi getting socked in the face and stumbling over and then getting called for a foul.
You can read her lips on ESPN say “they called that on me!?”

By my count:
- Vic running out onto the court during a live play to yell at a ref
- Harmon spiking the ball 20 feet into the air right in front of a ref
- Izzi coming off the floor holding a towel to her mouth
- Lexi getting smacked on the head at least twice
Hardest hit Lexi took was from that big white Amazon they had. There was a made UT shot and Lexi was standing there for inbounds, instead of the UT player moving out of the way some, she just lowered her shoulder while tuning down court, and drilled Lexi in the side of the head.
If vic didn't get a Technical when he ran on the court and got in the refs face during live action then a Technical should never be called against a coach.
