X got T’d up

If you're going to officiate by reputation, then McCaffrey should have 2 Ts already in the books when he steps on the court.
Well he gets T’d up a lot. So he doesn’t have a long leash. Thank you for the perfect example

He doesn't get T'd up nearly as much he should. My point is that the refs do but shouldn't allow the past to influence the present. That and making anticipation calls that don't happen are the worst traits a ref can have.

I guarantee JHS, Galloway, TJD, Yogi….those guys don’t get T’d up for it. X is a punk and everyone knows it. Hence the short leash

Might be a punk, but that wasn't a punk move. Shouldn't even have been discussed. You speak of reputations, Hawkins isn't exactly a choir boy. His whining reputation should have been accounted for too. Correct?

If Hawkins catches the ball, non issue. The simple fact that weird-looking jackass was once again whining to the ref caused him to get hit in the chest and maybe chin.

It is accurate. There is no way that was thrown intentionally.
He tossed it intentionally, but that is not a T. It wasn’t a delay of game or taunt. The reaction of two Ill players were more in question. X’s rep hurt him here, which is why I don’t defend him.

I’d be all for playing Reneau and Ware a lot less at the same time moving forward. Seen enough of the lane clogging. More 4 out/1 in and Spread the floor, which at times today, looked pretty decent. Keep the ball moving. Even though IU can’t score from 3, It would open up some driving lanes at least, which is the only way X and Galloway can score.

Why is it, especially on a day when IU needed more Offense out of everyone due to Ware out, nary a play was run, a down screen set, a double screen, nothing to get MM more open looks from 3? This guy should be getting way more looks from 3 as one of the only offensive weapons this team has!! It’s no wonder decent shooters from the portal don’t want to come to IU seeing how little they’ll be utilized in this scheme. Meanwhile Gunn, someone else who can shoot, languished on the bench the full 40.

The D was more than good enough to win the game today. The FTs were just awful…again. And X? We all know about X. He giveth some life today on both ends and he taketh away with another boneheaded play and terrible FT shooting. That game was so ripe for the taking. Just needed a stop or 2 on D, and hit a couple more FTs.
Near end of game on out of bounds play, multiple picks were set to get mm open for 3 , he took a step back 3, missed it but play was set up during a T.O.
 
Actually, the clock runs in the 1st and if he catches it and puts it down or does anything they could call it a delay. He threw a pass to the inbounds guy in the chest. The tech was complete BS, and was only given because it was X.
Careful, this upsets the PU trolls here.
 
Some of the flagrant fouls being called across college basketball this season are effin ridiculous. Kansas had one called against Iowa State last night that was absurd. Fast break and trailing defender going for the ball made incidental contact with the head of the Iowa State player-Flagrant 1. IU has a rep now so any excuse will get a T.

It’s the new flopping-selling a flagrant foul. X’s latest didn’t rest on salesmanship but Gunn’s had some active marketing and others across college basketball required an active marketing campaign.

“Near end of game” says it all. Why not with some regularity. Wow, they did it once!!! Must have been after X missed his 2 FTs, as that’s when I turned it off.

Thinking back on a different era, Dr. Tom Davis having a big pressure the inbounds pass and on at least two occasions, the IU player making the inbounds pass give the Iowa player a good facial.

Ahhhhhhh, good times. Musta been before B1G refs got all progressive and woke.😁

It seems the refs are looking to make flagrant calls.

So you're for different rules, depending on the player.

Seems fair.... :rolleyes:

When I say intentionally, I mean he didn't intend to hit him in the head or with any malice. He just tossed it to him, which is not a big deal.

The tech was absurd and I can't believe IU "fans" will trash their own player on such an obvious biased call.

Why do you slack jawed hillbillies have to constantly mention politics? And there is no doubt that you are a slack jawed hillbilly .. you're the only ones that do this stupid shit.

Meh. He, I'm assuming it's a he, really posts some interesting insights and statistical analysis that are a great read. Just gets really full of himself (again an assumption) sometimes.

TMP is pretty knowledgeable re hoops but has no objectivity when it comes to politics
