Title: A10 Officials
Post by: amen426 on February 08, 2017, 10:10:51 PM
Must really want VCU to get a tournament bid...

Earlier this week they called a technical for an "early court storming", allowing them to tie the game up and force Overtime.

Tonight, they added 0.4 seconds back on the clock. Then called a bogus charging call on the inbound to give VCU two FT's to win by 1 over George Washington.

Could very easily have 2 losses against lower tier A10 schools, which would have likely put them outside of the 68 (for now).

Unreal stretch of a good luck..

Time for Big East officials to give us some of that same love. More bids the better.

To be fair, it was an early court rush and deserved a tech.

The bench players stormed the court. That's what earned the T.

League said it was because one student bumped the ref and another grabbed the game ball away.

In the VCU/GW game, the VCU player that took the charge had his foot out of bounds, which should have made it a blocking foul.  That was a bad call.  Regardless, that one of the oldest trick plays, and the GW player should have been ready for it.

While this move is "the oldest trick in the book," it is inconsistently called and results in a lot of flopping.  That is essentially the problem with a lot of the rules of college basketball however.

Agreed. It should be an unwritten rule that you don't make a call that directly impacts the outcome of a game unless it is blatantly obvious.

It's the equivalent of calling pass interference on a hailmary.
