That shouldn't have been happening until at least the third date!!
Oh, he was reaching FranCON 1...probably a coin flip at the end whether he turns left and heads to the floor or right and head out the door. Glad he turned right...
YEah....it's weird....I'm just accepting the referees were going to swallow the whistles....we all knew that.....and we had 5 quarters to know that backing into the lane with no fouls called probably wasn't going to get a good shot...certainly not a foul. With the game tied in overtime, that should have been a play for a jump shooter.
And the lack of knowledge on inbounding with 1 second....that is catch and shoot. That should not be a learning moment at this level...it should be common knowledge.
Announcers, Referees, Pharisees,....all against us. Oh well. If that last second shot misses, we still find a way in double overtime to have some other dumb thing happen to us.
I'm reminded of the KU game(mens) at Hilton some time in the last 10 years where the inbounder was flailing his legs and arms OVER the sideline...totally in our inbounders junk. We just took it in the heat of battle...referees just let KU be KU. I think it was the game that Self almost got a can of whoop ass opened on him by a loyal son. Referees are gonna call crap different in crunch time...just a reality.
Absolutely screwed in regulation. My heart goes to the ladies. They played their guts out.
Sb Nation wrote an article criticizing the first game of Troy vs texas am. Wonder if they will do a second of this game.
That is true. I really wished it wasn't. A foul with 12:33 left in the game is a foul with 0:03.3 left in the game. It is unfair to not call it consistently like that. Swallowing a whistle is just one of the ways officials can be deemed insufficient. One foul does not have any more affect on the game than another based on when it occurs. If you call a charge and take points off the board earlier, you should do the same in crunch time. It's 2 points difference either way.
When Gary Blair was still coaching in the Big12 he was famous for saying, "If you foul all over the court they can't call them all".
I hate refs that swallow the whistle at the end of games because of some ******** unwritten rule of “let the players decide the game”. The player that’s fouling IS deciding the game you gutless chicken **** refs.
Total **** job by the refs in the last bit of regulation!! ******* horrible. I feel so bad for the girls and Bill.
With that mentality the officials shouldn't be there at all. Let the players decide the game the whole game. Officials are there to keep an unfair advantages due to breakage of rules from happening, whenever they occur. If any of them DO feel this way, they need to hang up their whistles.
No one is acting like that. I have seen bad officiating. This was 100 times worse than just bad. It was probably top3 worst I have ever seen in over 1000 games.
I agree that the refs were absolutely terrible, but I have never liked the hold the ball and run the clock. They had a couple of shot clock violations and this team needs to keep moving - due to the lack of size and that’s just the way they play.
I was super impressed and will definitely follow (and watch) many more games next year. So much potential!

When do we hear what Bill had to say about the game?
Also, @ChrisMWilliams @brentblum this is emergency pod worthy.
