Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 520949, member: 741"] For a number of games no, the TV guys have commented on the exteremly rough play. Bilas pointed out that the refs are letting guys body up on defense without calling it. A couple have pointed out the on loose balls almost anything goes. It happend a number of times yesterday. Another are fouls on break aways. How could that foul against BT not be intentional? Did the guys hand come anywhere near the ball? The announcers were surprised it wasn't called. How many times this year have we seen opponents slash at SU players on these plays with it obvious that they were not going for the ball. I think the rules committee should review this or make it a point of concern for the refs to call. Slap at the ball/hand is fine but hit anything else, accross the arm, wrap around the body etc, and it is intentional. Shots AND the ball!. [/QUOTE]
