Those 2 announcers for UK would be B team high school announcers
The Blue flop should have a ref fired
I definitely had it on mute and turned it off when I realized the refs were not going to even things up.
Very true. The first time I was like that’s funny. By the third, He’s clearly making a point
I just watched the game this morning, after having seen all the complaints about officiating so of course I was looking for it. What bothers me the most is how often the flops were rewarded. It's one thing to call a game tight, but it's another to let one team bait you into bad calls.
And the UGA loving announcer one time said "I think that was off of Kentucky...they should definitely go review that!"
They showed a graphic on the official definition of a flagrant 1/2. In there it said something about deceiving the ref into believing they were fouled (e.g., flopping or exaggerating/acting).
New SEC game, take a shot for every monitor review and lets see who is left standing.
That's not a fair prediction though. We will never know how those guys could have played because they never got a chance to get going. That argument has never made sense to me. If they can't play the game they can't do good and they can't play basketball without a whistle being blown. I wouldn't have been upset if they just stopped playing defense all together and just stared at the refs the entire possession.
Yeah I wish they were more cavalier about retroactively handing out flagrant fouls for apparent flops. Even going overboard and possibly getting it wrong a couple times would be better than not addressing it at all, just to send the message that we don't tolerate flopping. Make that an emphasis during the non-conference season and by the time conference play starts the problem would take care of itself.
As much as they like video reviews these days, they need to review every one of the fouls that appears it could be a flop. If the player wildly flails, the ref should know it wasn't that violent of a foul. Go look - if the kid flopped and there was little to no contact, call the T.
You NEVER see a FLOP called. Thus it is a pointless rule, since flopping has no consequences.
The play by play guy seemed to think we still had a chance with under a minute left and down double digits. He kept asking analyst Richard Hendrix( former Bama player) what Kentucky needed to do to get “back into the game”
I don't like turning basketball into Rugby or whatever but I can deal if we are allowed to thugthizzle as well but it only worked in one direction meaning trash.
Goodness, talk about a massive hangover the next day at work!
Pope also should have gone off on the refs for that flop. Our player wasn't even close after shooting the 3pt shot. They called it cause it happended in front of the Georgia bench. The dude was falling backwards while he shooting.
