It’s very possible
Good possibility. But he was playing pretty bad at times so it backfired.
I will have to go back and watch but I feel like all of Rob's fouls were the correct calls. I know his 4th on was for sure when he was setting the screen.
He needs to settle down when he's at the line instead of bouncing around.
People (refs especially) need to understand the leg kick out is simple physics, it’s a counterbalance of your movement into the shot when catching and shooting off movement. What needs to be fixed is that in most instances it should just be a no call for incidental contact. If a dude is spotting up and kicks his leg out for intentional contact, then they should be assessed a flagrant for kicking the defender.
Pretty sure the leg kick call was against Reed.
I agree that sometimes it is physics but sometimes it is guys who goes straight up but kicks a leg or throws an arm into the path of the defender to draw contact.
No it wasn't a 3 point shot that I am talking about. This was against Dillingham on the right side of the lane and it had to be for the contact on the leg kick because Rob didn't make any contact up top just hit the AU players leg as he passed by him. I think it was his 2nd or 3rd foul.
That one was just dumb of him, probably out of frustration from the earlier ones. But definitely 100% guilty of that foul.
Maybe you are right, that is probably what makes Rob so frustrating at times. But....I think that is also what makes Rob so gloriously good at times.
There is no such thing as SEC officials. College basketball refs aren't employed be a conference and contract out to multiple conferences. A ref could do an SEC game on Saturday, a Big 10 game on Sunday, and a Big East game on Tuesday.
Yep! Last night the always incompetent Pat Adams was calling the Houston/Iowa St game, the physicality was off the charts. Pat would call 75 fouls in an SEC game that was played that physical!
I thought that officiating crew was being affected by the crowd the entire game. There were a couple calls there against Dillingham that were iffy. I think they were trying to get him out of the game. The 5th on Edwards that would have ended in a lay-up or dunk was definitely a bad call. That took 2 points away at a time when UK would have gone up by 18 (and the game would have been over with only 5:32 left). Instead it sent Auburn to the line. Down the stretch, the officials kept calling fouls on UK. I told my wife to get ready because the whistle was going to blow every time on our defensive end, and it nearly did. The refs did all they could to help Auburn, especially late in the 2nd half.
Sorry… skipped to the end.
I think you're right Rockford. Dilly gets out of position. He also gets mad when shots don't fall and he reaches in. It's a bad habit. His problem is a lack of patience, from what I have seen. There were a couple iffy calls on him but there were also a couple where he just did dumb things. He does that with wild, forced passes at times as well. Some of that is just part of the wide open way he plays and you have to just grin and bear it, but he's had enough games and experience at this point that it's time to use better judgment. He can do it.
Yep even Jay Bilas said that wasn't a foul on Edwards and the foul on Reed on the 3pt shot, when the shooter kicked his leg out was pathetic- have no idea how an official would call that
You'd think after taking the L they'd shut their pie holes and slink out of there.
