38 points in the paint but 3 FTAs

Won’t change anything but it’s good national media is calling out the awful officiating of the ACC.
 
We missed 18 two point shots, on none of which we were fouled.

Benny's miss was an 'and one' 38 seconds into the second half. Judah made two free throws with 5:36 left, so 18 of our 19 misses were not fouled.

That's what I said in the game thread. That was the second block foul the refs missed down the stretch. Yeah, he got hurt, but he was never set defensively.
Read the other thread (HOSING pages 5+6), apparently in what is news to me in opposite of 40 years of believing otherwise, that after rule change about a decade ago you no longer need to be “set“ for any period of time at all.

As long as your feet are down for a millisecond and you’re in front of and in between the offensive player and the basket, Your body can be moving backwards, Twisting away from not facing the the guy, up on your heels, on 1 foot, doesn’t matter, it’s always - By a strict interpretation of the rules - charging.

The offensive player does not have the right to an open lane to the basket apparently. As long as the defender is not in the circle,moving forward into the guy or undercutting a player already in the air it’s charging.

That is unless of course the table are turned and then it’s us in a similar circumstance with these Carolina schools, then it’s a block, because, you know, “interpretation” of the rules.
 
What a stupid question to ask. Might as well just ask “hey coach, why doesn’t your team score more points than the other”

Like what answer are you looking for lol
Gotta disagree there.
Good question...it's something we all would like to know.
And look at the response it got.
If I'm doing TV sports that says it all for me.

I think you're overthinking this. If an offensive player is as wild and off balance as Mintz , you would have to do something incredible egregious to get called for a block. The rule book is often just a painfully specific way of trying to spell out something that is pretty intuitive. If you are wild and wouldnt score with no contact, you're not getting the call

If the UNC player could've somehow ole'd out of the way at the last second, do you think Mintz would've scored? I don't, I don't think the ref did either

last part first. Dude is if nothing else inventive, and as wild and too often uncontrolled he is wouldn’t doubt the kid could acrobatically hit one.

My take there is just a literal interpretation of the exact wording and reading of the rules as they’re written, and now applied against us, seemingly all too often.

Think we’d be fine if they were applied equally across the board, yeah, as that ncst video shows however, and we’ve experienced now what feels like dozens of times, that equal treatment ain’t happening.

So no not over analyzing, just calling it as it is, biased reality, unfairly and inconsistently applied.

I think they're reasonably consistent in how they call similar plays. I just think it's always a charge when a guy looks like a slow person running down a steep hill and their legs can't keep up. The flagrant, you are not going to find offensive players hitting people in the face with elbows twice in drives to the basket. On rebounds or ripping the ball high before dribbling you might. But on layup attempts? Pretty rare.

Did ya watch that ncst guys video linked elsewhere pat? We could make a similar one I’m thinking.

But man, I don’t know maybe I’m just being too reactionary at this point still pissed from the other night, then pissed at the way the rules read as pointed out and supplied by sean/Cusevt.
