Message: [QUOTE="RICuse44, post: 519911, member: 2361"] Absolutely right. Go back and watch the game. Zanna fouls someone on EVERY other possession. He is actually a connoisseur of fouling. Moving screens, fouls on breaks that should have been intentional (absolutely no play on the ball), and my favorite was taking grant (he got called once but that was only because jerami hooked under his arm so zanna fell with him) and pushing him out of the way. Don't get me wrong. Its perfectly legal to establish position on the block. But you can't plow into someone while you are still running down court to get space. And then there is old Jim Burr. I think there are a lot of professions where extensive experience is key. But when you are running up and down the court trying to keep up with 18-23 (yes, 23 and not just BYU) year olds you would think things like eyesight and conditioning just may be needed. Although in fairness to him he may have been the best one out there today. One specific play stands out where Keita was called for a foul under the basket trying to block a shot. He went for the pump fake (its an epidemic amongst our guys), did not even touch the pitt guy, and then got called for one. In the end the refs to determine the pace of the game and whether they are going to let ticky tacks go or are going to play it close to the vest. I hate ticky tack calls but hate even more what was going on today. It was like watching cinci over again. One other thing. Our players are not soft, as evident by the cinci game and the fact they don't have to go into the locker room when they get poked in the eye. Then hear len elmore and patrick talk about it like it was jordan fighting off the flu in the finals. CJ gets poked in the eye every game. [/QUOTE]
