NCAA screw job

Re: NCAA screw job

The coach from Baylor was a real piece of work. Not gonna go into it. The substitution had a real odor to it. I agree.

Uh.....ya. Her team was in the couble bonus in the first 11 minutes of the game and she freaks out when they call a ticky-tack on BU. Geeeeez.

Re: NCAA screw job

That would be incredibly hard to do because you are trying to stay unbiased and if you get it to the officiating, people are going to say you are biased. I had trouble writing my game story last night without mentioning the refs, I did mention that half of Baylor's points in the first half came from the free-throw line, but you can't really come out and blast the refs.

I would agree 100 per cent here. Why do we have refs to begin with? Their job is to enforce the rules and to call the plays the way they see them. I tend too think the only vested interest in this game for the refs was the pay check they would receive from the NCAA. Why would they favor Baylor over SDSU? Because the game was played in Texas? I dont think so and were they calling the game close in terms of fouls? Yes, but until I can convince myself I know more about the rules than the refs, I don't think I can add anything constructive to the dialogue but I dont think that I am out of order by supporting their decisions. Also, I know I would not have the physical stamina to last 2 minutes running up and down the court and being in position to make a call.

I am over the refs.. I really am, but I am going to answer this because it is in response to my post....

The story would start something like this...

In women's hoops action last night the Baylor Bears and South Dakota State University women took to the floor in second round action of the NCAA tournament.

The Jackrabbits got out to a great start going X/X to push the game to a 15-2? lead at the X:xx minute mark. At that point however the game slowed down due to some close calls by the officials that took both team out of the rhythm of their offense.

The Jackrabbits continued to push on offense and at one point had the lead built up to fourteen points, before 10 quick fouls caused them to send the Bears to the line where they would make 14/15 from the line in an impressive free-throw shooting half.

Were it not for their success at the line, the Bears would have been down by a much more significant margin than one heading into half-time...

The second half of action started as the first ended with the refs calling a tight game not allowing either team to get a good flow of the game going at the 19:50 point in the second half there had already been 35 fouls called between the two teams.

Maybe the most impressive stat of the entire game is that neither team had a player foul out.

Etc.. etc... etc...

Oh to have such issues... I hear there is a great player over in Minneapolis who hasn't announced yet... I think we should try to get her

Tayler Hill from Minneapolis South. She's pretty good

Hasn't announced but has narrowed down to 3 school - Duke, Minnesota and somewhere else not SDSU. Would be nice to have garnered a player of her caliber. Who knows, if she's hasn't made up her mind yet there's still hope.

My only critical comment about the coach was that she put a player back on the court without really knowing the full extent of her injury. Sure they taped it up and a doctor most likely examined the injury, but I did not see an xray lab or was there one back in the building?She could move around and they probably gave her some sort of pain shot, but what if this young lady has problems walking a few years down the road and sues Baylor. I am surprised that she put winning ahead of the welfare of one of her athletes. To me that is a bit selfish. Should she not care enough about her athletes to not take risks without knowing the extent of the injury?

It would only be fair if her knee were so swelled up today that she has to use crutches for week. Maybe her coach could hang her vest on them.

Re: NCAA screw job

Putting that injured player in the game and then taking her out after she got fouled was total BS. Who knows.....she may have missed both especially considering she was hurt. I don't think she was anymore hurt when their coach took her out after she was fouled than when she went into the game. The coach saw an oppurtunity to get her out and put a better free throw shooter in.

Bush league...bottom line.

Re: NCAA screw job

No 'both' to miss. It was a 1-1

Somebody commented at the Argus, that AJ was the one who got to pick the player who shot the FT's. Is there any truth to this? Just wondering if that is the rule?

Re: NCAA screw job

I thought it was bush league too. However, Mike Anderson did one better this weekend at a game I was at in Boise. One of Missouri's players got "hurt" and his player who had the hot hand that day was substituted in for the "injured" player. He hit both free throws and the "injured" player immediately substituted back into the game. Total bush league. You gotta wonder if Mulkey watched that game from her hospital bed on Sunday.

Re: NCAA screw job

PS - Let's keep this rivalry as friendly as we can. We've gotta stick together. Wins & losses between our two schools will go in cycles. Both have a lot to be proud of. We were the pioneers...the ones who took the heat for this 'terrible' idea of moving up. And now...the 'other' two schools decided that it wasn't such a bad idea after all.

So are we colleagues/partners/pioneers in transition or did we ride your backs to D1...based on your comments on the thread below, I'm confused.

http://www.Baylorfans.com had the NCAA rule quoted chapter and verse. The opposing coach has no say in the matter.

That rule should DEFINITELY be looked at.

"If the player that the foul is committed against cannot shot the free-throws for whatever reason. Their ball out-of-bounds."
Seems pretty straight-forward to me.

I guarantee if this rule were in place last night and in the Missouri game, we wouldn't be talking about this, because said-players would've shot them in both instances.

It was purely Busch-League. I only hope Karma comes into play for both teams down the strech.

Go Jacks!!

I'm not buying anything CaBisonFan is selling. Seems to me he loves to trash SDSU on the Bison board just about any chance he gets. Pretty sure he thinks we (SDSU) are inferior to NDSU.

Exactly...I've thought the same for quite some time, I'm just crabby enough today to point it out.
