Am I the only one who thought Coach Houston was fired at temple?
I don't think standing still is defense, and if you are not playing defense, it should be a defensive foul.
it is technically the correct call. which is what is wrong with college basketball.
This is similar to how hockey refs swallow their whistles during the playoffs because, “We don’t want a penalty call to affect the outcome of the game.”I don't get the position that a foul shouldn't be called in the last 30 seconds of a close game. You get an advantage over the other player by fouling, you should get called for the foul. Change the rules if you want, but don't ignore the rules that were in effect for the previous 39:30 minutes.
And this guy got five feet closer to the basket by jumping into the Temple defender. He gained an advantage. And incidental contact it was not.
Isn’t the goal of defense to impede the opponents ability to score? Running to a spot that cuts off a penetration seems like valid defense to me. There are plenty of ways to score. If you have to happen to make contact with a stationary help defender then maybe you should’ve looked for the open man.I won't make a judgement on this call but I despise the charge call. I hate players being rewarded for just running to a spot and basically saying "I was here first!".
