He’s called “Tuco” because the meth addict from Breaking Bad was more sane, more stable, and had more brainpower and thus made better logical arguments than Twocoach has ever made in his life.

Either way, dude's a giant douche who spends all his time trolling an ISU website and acting like he isn't. Just like Surly.

This is the only view that it looks like it is on the line so I didn't have a big issue with it. Too close to argue either way.

If this was the only angle they had I don’t know how you argue with their decision. It’s all I remember seeing in TV when they were replaying and couldn’t objectively say it was a really bad call. But that other angle clearly suggests otherwise

Yeah I forgot about that one when there were 2 points incorrectly given to KU and 2 taken from ISU that were beyond any argument.

That call should just stay as it is. There was some debate if it was originally called a 3 or not. The other angles show the same too close to know either way.

McCormack gets them called against him frequently. It felt like Jamari Traylor got one called against him every game.

To be fair to the big guys, I blame most of them on the guards who don't pause long enough to let the big get set before they drive their opponent into the screener.

But I thought you said it is rarely called... hmmmm

Where did this shot come from? They only showed the overhead one on ESPN, which definitely looks like his toe is on the line. Honestly, I'm not too upset about the 2/3. If we're down to the point where a portion of his shoe is over the line but curves up so it is not actually making contact with the ground, then I am not going to sweat it. I would think technically that would mean a 3, but I don't know if they had access to this type of view. The one from above looks definitive that his toe is on the line.

I'd actually be thrilled if they still **** up these actual close calls and always give KU the benefit of the doubt if they could not blow completely obvious ones like the goaltend.

Not sure if it should make anyone feel better, but I watched a bit of the Duke/Wake Game, and the amount of contact and travelling Duke could commit while Wake was called extremely tight makes me wonder how Duke could ever possibly lose a game. I watched about 8 minutes and it was absolutely brutal.

KU gets every close call, a lot of calls that don't get made, and at times blatantly change the rules of the game. That Homan free throw debacle still pisses me off.

Yeah if they got the obvious things right it would. E a huge improvement.

Just go to any random KU-ISU BB thread older than 2015 he'll be in every one of them explaining how every call favors ISU and poor KBOO is always being treated unfairly, but yet the always manage to pull thru the strife.
He has all but admitted it in the past.
I kind of want to know some of the dark secrets behind CF (history, etc.) but then again maybe I don't. Probably better off this way. I've been a member since '07 but due to rural internet difficulties, never started posting regularly in game threads until maybe 2 -3 years ago (internet a little to a lot better now than back then).

I'm a little surprised it hasn't been discussed more but with the game being an ESPN+ production did that limit the number of camera angles that were available for the Grill review? Was picture quality at the scorers table as bad as at home? These are questions that need to be asked because the conference schedule HAS to be played on level ground.
Legit question. I would think that espn might like more cameras, not less, with their remote broadcasts. Either way the number and positions of the cameras should be relatively equal during conference games in the future.

As far as picture quality (and speed) for the remote guys... I'm betting that has to be top tier. But it is espn so.

One of the major reasons for having announcers at televised games - so viewers can "see" and "hear" all of the action, even what occurs away from what the currently active camera is showing - goes out the window when we have announcers who are simply looking at camera feeds.

Agree. Progress.
