Message: [QUOTE="Fjoinkay, post: 956954, member: 604"] has been nothing short of fascinating to watch across all the sports. I was curious to see it play out, and at this point I'm wondering how many social scientists at universities around the world are researching this clash of cultures... especially the relationship each culture has with bias. JB flipped his lid on the charge foul. Yes, 10.4 seconds was enough time for a miracle finish. Yes, he deserved the technical foul for going onto the court. The fact that JB flipped and has rarely ever done so in his 38 year coaching career, however, suggests pretty strongly that for him he was upset about more than just that foul call on CJ. Tony Greene's angry visage when he Tee'd up JB was revealing as well. Maybe JB said something that upset Greene, but maybe Greene had some underlying animosity towards JB that he had been carrying around. Mabye JB sensed this over the course of the game? So many possible factors could have been at play, and we will never know. I think the team will be okay, and I bet they feel felt more than ever by their coach. This could have the unintended consequence of making this team stronger. Jay Bilas is a fantastic analyst. I feel like no one in any sport is any stronger, and I'm always grateful when he is calling a game. Last night he showed his humanity. I thought Bilas became a bully in the booth at times. He shifted from discussing competing viewpoints to pushing an agenda. I see this a lot watching college sports especially college football. Bilas was correct about the rules, but he simply refused to acknowledge any other viewpoints about certain situations during the game. His frames became tight, specific, and too often one-sided. He used language that promoted certain perceptions. And his tone was often closed and rigid. I cannot wait to see how this SU team responds. I suggest the Yes chant in the locker room before each half. We've seen the Michigan State crowd chant Yes. I hope this SU team does it too... say Yes in unison at least 7 times. Just say it out loud at normal volume yourself and notice if anything happens in your mind and body. Go Cuse! [/QUOTE]
