I am sure it is a coincidence that the only people that don't see the problem are ISU, KSU and Kentucky fans.
Sideline Rules (in KU/OU game)
- Thread starter Cycsk
- Start date
Yes, they did. And they didn't. That doesn't negate the fact that Georges was called for fouling the jackwagon that was SITTING ON HIM. If you don't see the problem with that foul...or the extra foul Withey had in that game...
The game might not have required OT, might have ended with regulation if not for the bogus foul & subsequent FT's. KU might have inbounded and made the shot, or ISU might have made the stop. BUT NEITHER TEAM GOT THE CHANCE BECAUSE OF THE BOGUS FOUL ON GEORGES.
Oh hell, why bother?

I didn't say anything about seeing or not seeing a problem with that foul. That's a different topic altogether. My response was ONLY to say that you cannot dismiss the ridiculous call on Mason that resulted in not only foul shots for OU instead of easy points for KU PLAY a technical on our coach that resulted in even more easy points for OU simply because "there was time to recover from it" and that if "there was time to recover from it" is the golden rule of whether or not a bad call should be dismissed as not that big a deal then the Niang/EJ play should also be dismissed from the complaint list since ISU also had "time to recover from it" in the five minute OT. That's all.
Sorry, Tuco. The foul is on the officials - the technical is on Self. Fred got hosed at the end of a game on a horrible turn of events and he didn't even come close to melting down and drawing a technical. If Self didn't want to get a technical and give up free throws he was free to express his displeasure in a more appropriate manner. He chose to act like a petulant child using language that forced the official to make the call. He knew when he totally blew up with profanity at a ref within arms distance what the outcome would be and he chose to do it anyway.
For the record, I would have been ****** too if I were him, but you have to be in control of your own emotions or suffer the consequences.

That's all well and good but it's pointless to the conversation. I am not arguing that Self didn't deserve a technical foul; he did. I don't blame him at all. His choice of vocabulary mirrored mine exactly at the moment. The technical ONLY happened as a result of the terrible call. No terrible call = no technical foul. There isn't any debate to have about it.

That is not allowed as that is gaining an advantage (standing on the table). He could have given the table a hard shove backwards to create space though :smile:
Really? It seems to happening all over the place with no trouble at all. "Ignore the BS call on Mason but demand an apology for the BS call on Niang" has flowed through this thread like Bud Light through my intestines.
It is not pointless in the conversation. Self wasn't constrained to make the foolish play. He took the opportunity to give up points. Those points are on him not on poor officiating.
I imagine you are one of those people who tell the officer loading you in the paddy wagon that it wasn't your fault; your wife made you hit her because she said something stupid.

Well, according to the NCAA Court Diagram it is specified as 3' MINIMUM (their capital letter emphasis not mine), 10' preferred.

Yeah, "he made me do it" sounds pretty silly when put in those terms, doesn't it?
If were going to start getting apology letters for a bad tick tac foul call in the first half of the game ISU need as to build a bigger apology wall.
