Flagrant on Oscar

[Zak57]

Had to start a thread on it to call out just how awful a decision that was. We better not see something called like that on us ever again. For them to review it that long and still come to that conclusion was asinine.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

One of the worst calls I think I’ve ever seen. Apparently boxing out is no longer a thing.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Hopefully no cylinder calls this year

 

[ouchmyknee]

I was gonna lose my **** if that ended up costing us the game. It was a crap call.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

That was an awful car, no question, just normal flow the game. The bigger problem I had with it - and I’m not one of the board whiners about officiating - is that the two senior officials couldn’t make that very obvious decision on their own. Very disturbing. You wanna call it a foul at worst, ugh OK, but flagrant? Disgraceful.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Total flotsam

 

[ScarletDave]

When it was taking so long part of me thought they were going to actually call the Syracuse guy for the flop. But then I remembered that we’re Rutgers and the officials always find new ways to destroy us

 

[PatrickRU92]

That and the ******** call on Myles when the Cuse guy awkwardly jumped into him . that is NOT a college bball call. Totally lost it when they called that

 

[RU848789]

Just commented on that in my post-game post. Horrible call, especially with benefit of replay.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Took 30 minutes to digest that and still call that sham

 

[RU05]

Embellishment by cuse player if anything.

 

[blueoyster]

I think bullsh*t sums it up nicely...

 

[BigEastPhil]

The pudgy ref and the young ref are awful especially the young ref. I always get on him at games. I sit courtside and I always give it to Courtney Greene as well. . Another anti Rutgers ref.

 

[SirPerceval]

Hard to believe you can get a flagrant foul called when no foul was called.

 

[knight82]

That one ref who looks like the guy who always used to say "dilly dilly" on the old Bud Light commercials always gives us the shaft

 

[RU05]

Hard to believe you can get a flagrant foul called when no foul was called.

Ref's can miss a call and then go to replay and see a clear flagrant. So I'll disagree with the generalization.

But that call on Oscar did not fit the bill. Butkus.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

My screen name is derived from Courtney Greene. Thankfully a different Courtney Greene

 

[carmenst]

Awful call. The replay video from behind the backboard was poor quality. We should upgrade the camera for better quality.

I understand the rule but it’s flawed.

Perhaps the worst flagrant call I have ever seen in 40 years of watching basketball.

I figured it was merely smudged. I mean any crappy cell phone from 5 years ago will get you better video then that.

 

[RU05]

On the bright side maybe Oscar gets some street cred for committing a flagrant?

 

[nutfromSEC117]

Building would’ve exploded with anger when that was put up on the video board

Oscar didn’t move , guy ran in his back/*** with his chest which cause his head to magically whiplash back .

 

[Scarlet Shack]

That was an awful, awful call....

 

[fluoxetine]

Boggles my mind how you can make a call that stupid with the benefit of frame by frame replay.

 

[bac2therac]

yes even I admit it was an awful call and if it takes that long to decide and show it slow motion then it shouldnt be called.

however they are forced by rule to do it anytime a hand or elbow goes above a certain point

 

[scarlet4life]

Announcers agreed it was a bad call. Said it was ridiculous.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Paul Szelc and Kelly Pfeiffer have reffed our B1G games, Edwin Young not familiar with.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Reminiscent of Tim Higgins, we committed the never-called 3-second violation. The refs blew it though ... Tim saved that call for a turning point in the game to whistle it.

 

[MadRU]

Just rewatched the play. Almost simultaneously Oskar takes a soft hand to the face too. Watch the Cuse players left hand up at Oskar’s mouth area.

agreed. How could it be flagrant when Palmquist never saw the Syracuse player behind him?

 

[shields]

Yes Crispin thought it was a bad call.

 

[daveo13]

The Cuse player’s reaction reminded me of the South American soccer player flops when another player barely touches them.

 

[FireBugOBJC]

Unless the rules have changed, I believe any contact to the head/face is a flagrant 1. They want to take the refs out of deciding what someone's intent was and make it automatic. This rule was made 10/15 years ago. Unless its changed its unfortunately the right call.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

One of the worst calls ever. Look at the BS call up close?

 

[RUich]

At least the two disinterested guys "calling" the game actually got involved.

 

[Scangg]

That and the ******** call on Myles when the Cuse guy awkwardly jumped into him . that is NOT a college bball call. Totally lost it when they called that

That call was a joke and complete bailout

 

[Scangg]

I understand the rule but it’s flawed.

This is the real issue. No one liked the call at all and everyone feels its not even a foul let alone a flagrant. When it goes to review though its contact to the head and they basically always give a flagrant 1 now any time there is any contact in a review. Need to give refs more discretion to use their judgment in which case they likely don't call it.

 

[BellyFullOfWhiteDogCrap]

Cuse player should have been yellow carded for simulation

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

and I’m not one of the board whiners about officiating

This is part of the problem. You are "whining" about it right now.

You just are willing to accept any number of bad calls or no calls in order to claim the title of being "not one of the board whiners about officiating".

Others have a different standard.. and you mock them for it. You whine about them whining and you are doing it right now.
