A lucky no-call

[1830 S herman]

Watched the last possession in slo-mo. With six seconds left, Page entered the key and started asking for the ball. He never left it.

Sometimes our D spacing leaves me baffled. We consistently double-team when an opponent approaches the paint, leaving wings wide open for uncontested 3s. This is not new, so I guess CCC is picking his poison there.

More than a few unlucky calls for us as well throughout the tournament. I’d say they balance out but they really never seem to…

Are you saying we are lucky he wasn't called for 3 seconds? Because I have not seen that called in years!

If so, interesting--and we should draw up more plays in which Page parks in the key and waits for Mart to draw the double team.

If it is done regularly people will begin to notice

They do when you win and don't when you lose.

Well, pretty seldom

I wasn't serious.

Feels like we need to beat both the team and the refs some days. Or some seasons (see last year).

BINGO, WE HAVE A WINNER!!! A universal truth that's been there for every fan base that's ever existed, beginning the very day that sports were invented. It often doesn't seem like it, and no one ever wants to accept it, but over time it always evens out. People need to come to terms with that. There, I said it.

I went back and watched that play and it looked like Page slid over at one point and hit the lane line with his foot. If any ref were counting, that would restart the count.

Well not always. Have seen plenty of times where the officials seem hesitant to make the bad call against the home team if they have a large and vociferous crowd. And up till recently it was hard for us to command that kind of respect

Also, even if the calls even out, often the impact of one very bad call at a critical time is very hard to overcome
