The House of Blue

That was the only time I yelled at the TV tonight. He was clearly bumped and held on just a bit long to protect himself. It had absolutely nothing to do with showboating or anything like that.

It drives me nuts that Davis has been called twice for that and both times he was trying to protect himself. Davis, of all players... He never gloats about his dunks or his blocks or anything like that. He is exactly what you ask for in a player, yet the refs have been so bad as to call him for this. I just don't get it other than the refs are that dang bad.

Still trying to figure out how that was not an And-1. It's amazing the ticky-tack stuff that gets called, but not that.

Don't refs understand by now that AD is not a show off. He doesn't talk smack he just goes about his business. That call was crap.

On the other hand Jones will get called for a T before this tourney is over for Dunking and then staring at somebody. He's gotta watch that. I don't think he means anything by it, its just a natural reaction I think but he needs to watch that.

No doubt this was a nit-picky call, but there are often 10+ call/no-calls that happen during a game that are questionable. I would have let this one go myself, but this call really had no bearing what-so-ever on the outcome of the game. So I didn't yell or get bothered by it much.

When it really gets me is when refs make the wrong call/no-calls when the game is on the line........for recent example at the end of the 'Cuse game there was one.

Pure and simple it was a terrible call, there is no reason to call that a technical. AD was doing nothing more than trying to protect himself

someone posted this on twitter & facebook.

That's not a T under any definition of the rule. Just silly.

I'm pretty sure it's just a judgement call. . . If the ref thinks the player is doing it to prevent injury then it's okay. If he thinks it's for any other reason it's a technical

yep, I think that is too. But he was bumped(fouled) and clearly had the right to hang on to the rim. Horrible judgment call.

Watch the ref. He wasn't even looking at Davis when he was on the rim.

Nothing confusing about that statement, but since I did not find it at the ncaa.org site, but on an official site, I simply wanted to confirm that who ever posted it had done so correctly. If it is a correctly posted statement, I understand the rule.

Yea that was just incredible, especially when viewed from the angle of the above posted clip....amazing!
