Missed FT- UM-7, UNC-14Growler1 said:
I gotta tell you guys...as much as I love Griz fans and their enthusiasm for UM Athletics, you are the last ones that should be complaining about the refereeing. I call games on the radio around the Big Sky and around the country. I've called games in Dahlberg for 23 years, and there is no other Big Sky school...not one, that gets the benefit of HOMER refereeing like Montana. You even homered us in our own gym a few years ago when the refs refused to give the Griz a technical at the end of regulation for calling a timeout when you had none left with about a second left to play...and it forced the game into OT where you won (which I give you credit for).
By the way, I watched that last blocking call over several times in slow-mo to make sure, and the refs got it right. The Griz defender has his feet planted, but his upper body was still on the way to being upright (still moving) when contact was made. If the game would have been in Dahlberg and Cherry had the ball and they called the same foul on Beitzel, you would have said it was absolutely the right call...no question. I didn't have a dog in this fight tonight, so there's no bias. If you want to see somebody who had the right to bitch about crappy officiating, see the Rutgers coach.

Votb,
You are an idiot... By your definition of Blocking/charging it COULD NEVER BE a charge!! Every frigin charge call in a game the defender is moving at least a little. If you truely are an announcer (Which I have my doubts), you would not say such stupid things.

A charge is assessed by: Is the defensive player's torso set in position before the offensive player begins his upward motion?
votb said:
The player doesn't have to be completely still they just have to have position which you said Adams did. It was a bad call no way I could be convinced otherwise. The NCAA rule is:
Taking a charge in college means a player has a clearly established position and has beaten the offensive player to a spot. If a defender's feet are moving when contact between the two players is made, the foul called will be a block on the defense. The NCAA defines a block as illegal personal contact that impedes the progress of an opponent. Establishing position will ensure that you are charged into as opposed to illegally impeding the progress of the offensive player.
His feet were set.

This feels a bit like trying to get an 80 year old to understand computers but if we didn't hold for the last shot and shot it early we would not have gotten another possession because UNC most certainly would have held for the last shot. What you are saying is honestly one of the most baffling comments I've ever read. In football would you kick a field goal with one minute remaining to go up by 3 or would you let the clock run down so it's the last play of the game?
It might say that, but more often than not, doesn't work.....just like tonight....great coaches don't change their game plan unless forced to.....a drive in this game might have been a 3 pt play...and our D might have made a stop if our 7 footers couldn't rebound.....no one has yet to convince me that playing for the last shot is a good thing in the first half.....it is a championship game...go for it or go home...the Griz are going home....EverettGriz said:
The LA comment is a moot point. Yeah, he's way off as usual, but that's beside the point. It didn't matter.
yup, your are right...the Griz held for the last shot and they lost....amazing how many teams fail to score on that "play"...sorry, you have trouble understanding....going for the last shot is great...if there is less than 9 seconds or so left.....in this case, UM had 26 seconds, a tie game with a favored team playing at home and not playing that well.....2 7 footers for rebounding and a great pt guard able to drive and draw the foul...sorry to see you don't get it.....doesn't matter, the other team apparently did....stubbins said:
