It was absolutely deafening at the end there. A couple of us in our section felt like we needed to get the crowd going a couple times, but it didn’t take much to get back going even if they had a few attempts to take the crowd back out.
Depending on what platform you use to watch, you may be able to pause your video for a few seconds and get them to match up.
I agree, I think that is what happened.
Yeah, I saw that in real time at the game and was frustrated none of the refs caught it. On the replay I noticed the camera cut away awfully quick when she did it.
And had that been called a charge, Battle wouldn't have sat out the end of the first half, and perhaps they don't catch up to within 3
Right we possible go in up 8-10. Which sets us up better in the third
I know there are people here who respectfully disagree, but I think the refs in the women’s game are just not that good. I don’t watch a lot, but when I do I see officiating that is consistently inconsistent, probably making it very difficult for the players to adapt. The reference to the quick whistles on little contact is a great example.
Regardless, clock stops after made basket in last minute and the refs almost always stop play to look at replay to get exact time left in tenths of a second. The time out is what gave Ole Miss the ball at half court with .8 left.
Personally, I’d give a wider berth to 22/23 year old college player, than a professional. Additionally, the NBA is very sensitive to that subject matter because of their ref, Tim Donaghy and the gambling scandal.
I agree. I will quote my brother who was a D2/D3 n HS official for 40 years that refs rarely decide the outcomes of games. That being said the inconsistency in the woman’s game is frustrating. It happens at all levels including the WNBA which has a few horrible officials. In yesterday’s game we shot 1 more FT than OM n most of the other game stats, other than more TO’s for us, were very even. Goldy earned this huge W
If there a pay discrepancy between the two?
Then be part of the solution. Grab a whistle, get the training and show the rest of us how it's done. Or, become such a respected expert that you are in charge of training referees to do it the way you think is correct. Don't just bitch about a perceived problem, be the solution!
Reminds me of the time where a guy had to fill in to be an umpire for a girls' softball as none of the parents for the other team would do it. During the game, these same parents started complaining about the umpiring. He walked over to the parents who were standing behind the girl's bench and said, hey, which one of you is going to take over? You're the home team and you're supposed to provide the umpiring. They all shut up and not a word was said the rest of the game.
The junior high teams and coaches appreciate my time and consistency, even if infrequent participation.
Agree... ran across this today:
