Exactly what I thought as I watched!
Then it occurred to me ... was the NCAA gonna ruin the finals ($) letting UConn beat the greatest woman baller of all time with 9 seconds left needing just 2pts for the win?
Suddenly it all made sense. And we weren't the only ones:
Boston Celtics reporter melts down over ending to UConn-Iowa: 'One of the worst calls of all time" By Andrew Hughes |
Zach Boyden-Holmes/The Register / USA
Boston Celtics reporter Jared Weiss of The Athletic was raging at the end of the UConn-Iowa women's Final Four game on April 5; an instant classic that, to some, was marred by an overzealous whistle on an off-ball screen from UConn's Aaliyah Edwards on Iowa's Gabbie Marshall.
"Genuinely one of the worst calls of all time there on that UConn illegal screen," Weiss said. "I can’t believe that just happened."
Weiss explained that while the call was likely the right one, the refs almost always swallow the whistle in that moment -- and should have with seconds left in a Final Four game involving one of the all-time greatest college basketball coaches (Geno Auriemma) and the all-time Division I scoring leader (Caitlin Clark).
"Oh it was definitely a moving screen," Weiss prefaced before saying, "But they don’t call those 99% of the game and the context of the play is 1.) it’s the final play and 2.) Iowa switched anyway. The call will be deemed correct and refs will formally say you call every play the same, but that’s not reality."
A foul is a foul. If I was gonna have a melt down about the call, I probably wouldn't end it with, it probably was a foul!

BTW, we keep reaching our ceiling on storage of attachments and to keep space available for future attachments we have been deleting old & large ones to do so. An alternative is to purchase more storage space and that can be done relatively cheap and easy. If anyone would like to donate a few bucks to the forum this is where you can do so:
We currently have 50MB and each additional 10MB purchased cost $1 (once not monthly) to a max of $10 for an additional 100MB.
A one time $5 donation will double our ability to make and keep attachments (pics, charts, videos, etc).

Upgrades to a forum's storage are a one time charge to permanently increase its size.

Are you sure? I was pretty sure what I was looking at was being paid by the month. I'll look again though later.
