Technically Blind?
March 29th 2008 06:45 pm
If any of you saw the Oklahoma State vs. LSU game today you won’t be surprised to see the following footage…I’m sure all of us were disappointed, aggravated and even extremely angry that zero was done about it too…
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE - “INTENTIONALLY CHALLENGED”
This OBVIOUS INTENTIONAL FOUL happened right in front of an official in the Pitt vs. Stanford game on Saturday, March 29, 2008…
UNFORTUNATELY, I’ll be creating more of these as the tournament goes on…So be sure to check back often on this topic…Kel

I simply couldn’t believe it when I saw that. When TV showed the replay, they backed up from the action and you could see the back of the head of a ref who was faced directly at the two players. He should be fined for failing to call a flagrant foul and/or ejecting Riley.
That wasn’t her only shot, either! She had also punched someone in the head/neck area (don’t know if it was the same LSU player) while trying to prevent a breakaway layup–again, two players out in the open court and the refs see nothing? And they wonder why they get criticized? They’re lucky nobody from LSU got hurt by that kid and TREMENDOUS credit goes to White for doing the right thing–back away and wait for the call. The call that never came.

Don’t know what’s up with those zebras. There was also a weird no-call in last night’s men’s game Villanova vs. UCLA, when Villanova was purposely fouling to get possession. Every fan in the building and watching on TV knew they were doing it and when the Villanova player gave it the typical token reach-in, right in front of a ref: no call! They managed to call the next one, somehow.
