SEC will review the technical foul

Guarantee they will say it was the correct call because technically he could call it

There won't be an opinion in there at all. He did his job. That's it. There won't be an outcome that says he didn't do his job.
 
I only hope that we can add Pat Adams to the list of Refs not allowed to call our games in the future.

It seems like all of the "Glory Hound" Refs love to prove their merit by sticking it to UK.

I'm SICK OF IT!!!

I mean, this is easy.

Head of officials: "upon further review, the official made a judgment call that is allowed in the rule book. Nothing to see here"

And Duke will continue to win games and titles based on anything but really earning it.

guess I appreciate the thought, but a lot of bloody good it will do
Adams decided that game, and the loss won't be changed

What she said. It's over. There is absolutely nothing that can be changed. Glad they're looking into it but it means nothing to us regarding this loss.

We all know what is going to happen. They are going to defend the call and its absolutely terrible. Only positive thing that will come of this is that Pat Adams has brought negative attention to himself. Everyone is talking about how bad of a call that was. He's a terrible ref and is lucky that he even has a job.
 
Nothing will happen of course. But it's time for a look at how T happy Pat Adams is. It's like he's dying to call one every game he goes out, hence his stare downs.

Looks like you have some probation riddled, prostitution loving, child abuse ignoring, Pitino suck upping Card fans hanging on your every word.:weary:

It doesn't matter what happens , it's in our court now . Our players control whether to give officials power or not , leave the ball alone going forward and it's solved .

Huh? That really makes no sense. So you are stating; instead of getting touch fouls called don't touch anyone at all, let the other team score at will and all will be good for UK. Yep that is taking power away from the refs man, you are on a roll.

Be nice and don't do anything wrong, for goodness sake don't dare try to win...yep, the refs will then leave UK alone...but,... UK WILL lose the rest of there games as this is not fantasy land or Space Jam. geez dude...

If I misunderstood your post please show me where I did but as it stands it is just not a good post.
 
Good!

Not that it will mean much because we won't replay the last 10 seconds of the game, but I do hope that Pat Adams gets some punishment for this BS. He should be fined the same amount he got paid for doing the game, get suspended, and banned from working Kentucky games for as long as he is a referee. What he did last night is inexcusable and the reason why college basketball as a whole is dying. Refs like him coming in trying to take control and changing the outcome of an entire damn game.

If we don't slam the ball then they can't call us for it , I said leave the ball alone on my original post . I didn't say anything about foul calls .
 
They are simply going to say it is a technical foul by rule. Discretion of the referee is the issue at hand. That's a personal choice by Pat Adams. Referees have the discretionary authority to make the call or overlook it.

This is 100% what they will say publicly. I suspect behind closed doors that Pat Adams will receive some training and will probably not make the same call in the same situation in the future.

I'd be absolutely shocked if Adams was reprimanded in any fashion, either public or behind closed doors. I'd be even more surprised if they required him to participate in additional training.

And I fully expect him to make similar calls again in the future. Hell, I'm half-expecting him to make a point of calling the same thing almost immediately just to show all of us how "right" he was. That's just the way he is.
 
I think this will become an exercise in futility. Can't reverse the game outcome. You can't buy a cup of coffee with an apology. Worst of all, we lost a key player over what turned out to be a pointless contest.

I might be in the minority on this one but having the SEC just clarify the rule is helpful. I believe in some form of standardized rules, unlike the strike zone in baseball.

If Isaac had slammed the ball in frustration or anger, we would almost all agree it was the right call. I would like to hear the SEC comment on slamming the ball in celebration. Then, if it ever happens again, we can at least have a clearly defined "guideline" for the rule.

Didn't we ask for a similar clarification regarding the flagrant foul rule after Ramel was leveled from behind by a Georgia player on the break with no call? And then didn't we watch the call inexplicably go the other way against us later in the year?

If you're expecting a clarification, I wouldn't hold my breath. Besides, it's not like they'll abide by it in future games anyway.

That was under the leadership (or lack thereof) of Gerald Boudreaux. You are correct. Ol' Gerald tripped all over himself and contradicted himself and lied about what the video clearly showed to justify both calls. But, he was also later terminated from that positon.

Let's hope that the SEC now has more integrity.

BTW, for the record, the Bradley foul came AFTER the other call and not before. The original call was an intentional foul on Jasper for reaching from the side after coming from behind. Boudreaux said that the fact that he came from behind warranted an automatic intentional foul.

When Bradley was knocked into the stands a week or two later, only a common foul was called. Boudreaux said it was the right call and gave some contradictory reasons.

What's frustrating is that they took the win from us with that technical call. Just sucks.

They said it was correct call by rule ten section three, according to the ksr article i just read.

Thing that bothers me on that is who is to judge anger versus celebration. One thing that we never see is a reversal of possession arrow. I wonder if that might be an equitable thing to consider. For example, if I slam the ball down on a dead ball (aka, the ball is mine), one of the following two things occurs. If the possession arrow is pointing toward you, you get the ball and play resumes. If the possession arrow is pointing toward me, it gets reversed to you and play resumes.

Looking at it another way, the crime doesn't fit the punishment due to the ambiguity of the call. For example, let's say I am chasing the ball, unwittingly (my stalker boy will love that one, don't worry though, he's harmless) step on the line and try to save the ball back in bounds. I slam the ball on the floor so hard in the attempt it bounds into the rafters, breaks out a light and glass comes crashing to the floor. Instant delay of game. In this case, we'd shrug our shoulders and say the ball is out of bounds, no tech, no foul and no call other than the obvious. But I slammed the ball on the court and caused a disruption and for all you know, I did it on purpose. Just too much ambiguity to make that call.

So we have happy ball slams, angry ball slams and "normal" ball slams. All judgement calls. All potentially game affecting. To me, a change of arrow is the most equitable. A technical, under any circumstance is just not smart.
 
If we don't slam the ball then they can't call us for it , I said leave the ball alone on my original post . I didn't say anything about foul calls .

I guess I miss-interpreted. I beg your pardon...
 
Maybe they can't change the past but hopefully it'll help for future calls but I doubt it.
 
Just watched the the highlights on ESPNU. They didn't even mention the crap call that handed TAMU the game.

Catch an official doing wrong during a game and suspend him five games or so and that would clean things up. (Note: It takes more than one bad call to garner a suspension.) I am not one to accuse others without being able to verify it but it sure is looking like UK is getting the shaft more often than not no matter where they play. (If it was just away games I may not even bring it up but it has been years since I see UK get any calls consistently that other teams get at their house....

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...jmuo

I didn't get that from what I read on KSR. The SEC spokesman said the official determined that it was an unsportsmanlike technical. It didn't say it was the correct call.
