NCAA Final Four Thread...

No it’s not. You don’t make that call in that situation. Not enough contact to blow the whistle.

He undercut the shooter... it’s a foul

 

[OrangeDW]

the same contact happened on the auburn shot yet no call

I wondered the same watching it live.

Would like to see a replay.

 

[Cowtown]

Good call. Dumb foul. In the situation, dumbest foul of the season.

 

[upperdeck]

auburn had 2 chances to not let them shoot 3s and they got both off and it costs them the game

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Maybe Two Buck Chuck will be quiet for the rest of the tournament now.

 

[Alsacs]

Lol the refs missed a double dribble as well.
Auburn got hosed love it.

 

[HtownOrange]

Thank you, UVA. The call was correct, the Auburn player hit Guy in the act of shooting. UVA should have run Auburn into the ground. Glad they won, regardless.

 

[upperdeck]

yes it was a foul and still i dont think you call it at that point of the game, in hockey it would be a foul and embellishment penalty

 

[OrangeDW]

He undercut the shooter... it’s a foul

He literally banged right into him while he was at the peak of his jump and about to release it.

I’m amazed people are arguing that one. Protect the shooter. Always.

The people that are mad should be mad about the missed double dribble.

 

[SWC75]

Had the foul already been called before the double dribble?

 

[Alsacs]

If that happened to us no one here would be saying it was the right call. It’s not a foul.

It was a very thin call.
If Guy didn’t stick out his foot when he shoots I don’t think he gets the call.

 

[Cowtown]

It was, stand alone, a good call. But the problem comes when you look at all the crap they let go during the whole game, it was not consistent. The officiating was more like a football game.

 

[Alsacs]

Guy deserves credit for making all 3 FTs that was extremely clutch in that stadium.
That was impressive.

 

[Bulldog04]

Double dribble. Wow. Game would have been over. Horrible coaching decision by Pearl to not foul before the Guy made 3. Only had 4 fouls. Dumb dumb dumb

 

[Cowtown]

Yeah, saw that. I was shocked there was no call there.

This by far, if your Auburn you dont let guy or Jerome shoot period. Let Ndkiate or any of the other dudes get a look. Auburn has no one but themselves to blame

 

[AirForceOrange]

No it’s not. You don’t make that call in that situation. Not enough contact to blow the whistle.

So you base calls on the situation? Even though it was foul the ref should swallow the whistle because of the situation? That doesn't make sense. If the ref sees it he should make the call whether it's .6 seconds into the game or .6 seconds left.

 

[HtownOrange]

Bruce Bowen did it all the time.
Guy did the old Kobe stick out your foot and get a call routine.

Not sure what play you watched but the Auburn player left the floor several feet away from Guy (look at the defender's feet when he left the ground and compare where he lands) and bumped into Guy. No funky kick out the foot so you get hit.

 

[Eric15]

Gene S. explained it very clearly. It was a Point A to Point B jump by the defender into the shooter.

 

[SWC75]

If it's a foul, it's a foul. Had it not been called then Virginia fans would be booing the replay and they would be right.

I hate the called on contact after the shot has left the shooter's hands but this was not that. The guy was getting hit as he released it.

 

[NateW]

It was a very thin call.
If Guy didn’t stick out his foot when he shoots I don’t think he gets the call.

Guy’s legs are pretty much together... I don’t see him sticking his leg out at all.

 

[upperdeck]

allowing them to make the 3 to cut it to 2 was the dumb play.. of course thier best shooter almost airballed that late Ft

 

[Cowtown]

Had the foul already been called before the double dribble?

No, the Auburn player grabbed the back of Jerome's shorts after he picked the ball back up.

 

[upperdeck]

if guy doesnt flop it doesnt get called.. and i agree it was a foul i still dont think you call that foul, if he fouls up high im ok with it.

I am not upset at the call one bit. I just thought it was a thin call. Props to the ref for calling it.
