X has a reputation. Duhin
WTF does that mean? 'gain the confidence of officials'?
Why don't they just call the same game for everyone? That's their job - not to psychoanalyze the players.

If you're going to officiate by reputation, then McCaffrey should have 2 Ts already in the books when he steps on the court.X has a reputation. Duh
Well he gets T’d up a lot. So he doesn’t have a long leash. Thank you for the perfect exampleIf you're going to officiate by reputation, then McCaffrey should have 2 Ts already in the books when he steps on the court.
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.At the buzzer?? Come on!
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.Well he gets T’d up a lot. So he doesn’t have a long leash. Thank you for the perfect example
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 leashHe doesn't get T'd up nearly as much he should.

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?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
I only worry about “our” guy and he is a punk.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 to. Correct?
DumbThe ball didn’t hit him in the face. It hit him (lightly) in the chest because he didn’t see it coming.
Tossing the ball to the baseline after a make is neither dirty nor unusual.
Exactly, complete horseshit call against him.The ball didn’t hit him in the face. It hit him (lightly) in the chest because he didn’t see it coming.

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.It is accurate. There is no way that was thrown intentionally.
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.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.
Careful, this upsets the PU trolls here.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.
I agree but that doesn’t make every action a punk move. Need to be able to think critically and judge actions independently. Many can’tI only worry about “our” guy and he is a punk.
“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.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.
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.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.
Unpleasant actions-the horror.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.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.
He deserves every one of them. X did not deserve that tech.Well he gets T’d up a lot. So he doesn’t have a long leash. Thank you for the perfect example
So you're for different rules, depending on the player.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
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.He tossed it intentionally, but that is not a T.

Fair or not it’s true.So you're for different rules, depending on the player.
Seems fair....
Of course it's true - no one's denying that.Fair or not it’s true.
Edey gets away with murder right now, X is treated like a murderer.Of course it's true - no one's denying that.
The discussion is about whether it was fair. And it wasn't.
Michael. Lewis was a tough little player.

You're cute.😘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.
I believe the word you're looking for is 'infantile'.You're cute.😘
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.I believe the word you're looking for is 'infantile'.

Well then X should have someone look into those muscle spasms.It is accurate. There is no way that was thrown intentionally.
I meant he didn't intentionally throw it in the guy's face. He just tossed the ball instinctively. Watch it again.Well then X should have someone look into those muscle spasms.
Agree. IL player reacted as if he'd been hit by Nolan Ryan fastball.I meant he didn't intentionally throw it in the guy's face. He just tossed the ball instinctively. Watch it again.
