ESPN-ABC knows that they wanted Iowa in the final for ratings.
SVP is full of it complaining about the foul called on the screen. The UConn player Edwards had both of her feet moving her into a new position against a player who was already engaged with her for a couple seconds. Obviously a moving screen and then she used her arms to redirect the player. A screener is allowed to use arms to protect themselves, but cannot use arms to redirect the player being screened. Anyway, SVP is full of shit and not even looking at the play. And ESPN-ABC knows that Sunday afternoon's game gets more viewers. |
So Car gonna beat that ass

Girl roots for Mahomes.
I root for Girl I am simple man |
So it's a foul by the book, but the ref is not supposed to make an obvious call because:
It's always the refs fault - because,,,don't make me clench my teeth you,you,you just don't know that it's, huff,huff,huff. Oh give me a minute. I gotta go to my safe space. |

Clark took a LOT of horrible shots tonight. Glad they won, though.

I didn't like that call in the heat of the moment. But watching it after the fact, if you're not going to call that moving screen, then why call any of them. That was definitely a foul.

One of the most vocal gayhawk fans on CP bitching about officiating, and not even when it's not about the gayhawks. Color me shocked I tell ya.

Reminds me of the defensive holding call against the eagles in the Super Bowl that everyone complained about- “yeah it was technically a hold but you can’t make the call in that situation”
If it’s the right call, it shouldn’t matter when it’s called. A foul is a foul. |
This is funny AF.

But it didn’t end the game. Uconn could have rebounded the missed free throw and still had a chance. It changed the game, but it didn’t end it. |

it was a foul it was not a fair catch I hope Iowa has a chance vs SC. They are very very good. |

If anything, blame the replay angles (of course, the tinfoil caps will say that was intentional and within a matter of seconds ESPN chose those angles to make it more controversial than it was). https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBask...alled_for_the/ |

Its in ESPNs financial interest for it to be a controversial call

It's a foul. And people are shocked that the TMZ of sports media is making a big deal about it. Nevermind all the ****hole calls (Bills Offensive offsides comes to mind) that they sit quiet about. TMZ-SPN crafting a narrative? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you. |

It sucks that it happened when it did, but that’s a moving screen, and a blatantly obvious one at that. If the Ref swallows his whistle and allows Bueckers to shoot and make a clean shot due to the screen, then people would have a legit gripe. This? Meh.

I can tell you that in the NBA that has a 20% chance to be called, if that. In mens college bball it would be more like 50%

Paige Bueckers had nothing to worry about from Gabby Marshall if Edwards had realized that she had already done her screen. Did you watch the play? Marshall knew the microsecond that she heard the whistle that the foul was on Edwards. I do not think I have ever seen a defender know that fast that the call was not on her. |
Quote:
The top picture shows Edwards has her left foot off the ground, and the next picture has her right foot off the ground. |
I'm sure LeFlop has never gotten a favorable call in the NBA

That was absolutely an offensive foul. Wtf are people even bitching about. "Let the players play", well let the defender defend. She can't ****ing play defense if she's getting clocked by a moving screen and a hand to the throat. I hate that let the players play shit, because the person commiting the foul isn't allowing the player to play.

Paige Bueckers handling it much better than anyone else. Totally owning that it should never come down to one call and that she should've done a better job. Big props to her.

Honestly the call wouldn’t be so controversial except that the refs called a pretty shit game. I’m glad Iowa won. But I’m tired of officials who can’t stop themselves from influencing games. I don’t love the final call but I get it. But what was way worse and way more impactful was putting every damn UConn player in foul trouble. It let Iowa have so many uncontested plays inside. But anyway… im glad to see Caitlin play one last time in the finals everyone wants to see her play. I like bueckers too but she’ll have another run of it next year with probably a way better roster.

Chiefs fans crying about a late, (correct) controversial call in a huge postseason that "shouldn't be called" is pathetic as ****. You're the same ones saying the grab on JuJu was legit lulz
It was an obvious foul, so correct call. Anyone on this board that says otherwise is hypocrical as ****. |

I mean, UConn had only 6 players play and they had 18 personal fouls? That kind of shit is unconscionable. And the ncaa needs to move to 6 fouls asap for both men’s and women’s. Because nobody wants to see one and done tournament games played with a heavy whistle.

That was still an incredibly soft call to end a game no matter what you say. |
No one can argue what i just said ROFL

If the bitch from UConn would have taken the screen instead of being three feet from it she wouldn’t have had to move. If you want to blame anyone there blame Bueckers, not the refs or the screener.

Don't be afraid to do stupid shit and dare the officials to blow the whistle, they probably won't! -- coach Auriemma, probably

Auriemma seemed pissed at his player and rightfully so, she made a boneheaded play that cost them the game. |

The foul trouble had more to do with UConn being a shorthanded team that needed everything to go right to have a chance. The problem was UConn kept winning and made the final four to play a team they could only beat if they hustled and fouled the shit out of them the whole game. |

This idea that I'm bringing up MJ in every basketball thread and constantly posting tweets from weird Twitter accounts dedicated to defending his honor is objectively false. 99.9% of my posts on CP are Chiefs/draft related. |

So, we are all in an agreement. It was a foul.

I just hate to see it. When late in games defenders are backing off offensive players for easy scores that’s not great basketball. Refs have to swallow the whistle more in tournament basketball. Or more appropriately, they need to realize younger kids are more prone to mistakes and just raise the ejection limit to 6 fouls. Way too easy for refs to have massive influence on games on this level. |
