Dawn Staley bitching about officiating? Really??

[blacklistedbully]

I'll admit I didn't watch but a few minutes of the SCar v Mizzou WBB game, where A'ja Wilson got into foul trouble, playing less than 1/2 the game as a result. But from the times I have watched them, AW has got away with murder, as far as I'm concerned.

She's been allowed to run free like a bull-in-a-china-shop, able to push off and charge with impunity, and draw fouls if the opposing player breathes on her too hard.

So AW gets called for fouls, and Staley can't stop whining about how, "the best player in the game wasn't allowed to play more than 1/2 the game".

Cry me a river, Dawn. Even if it wasn't deserved, your gal has been on the favorable end of that her entire career, and it's helped you to win games.

Damn, she’s only ugly woman too! Fugly!

Looks like miZ has provided the blueprint to beat them - surround AW by three since it looks like they can’t shoot from the outside

 

[blacklistedbully]

Only if the refs are gonna call it fair.

 

[bulldognation]

I thought it was an unwritten rule that coaches wouldn't gripe about officiating.

I encourage Dawn to watch our game against SC in Columbia last year if she really wants to see bad officiating.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

No, it is written...they can be fined by the SEC.

 

[eckie1]

Somebody on the rant...

I encourage Dawn to watch our game against SC in Columbia last year if she really wants to see bad officiating.

...posted that she “texted the SEC” about having the same crew as last year against Mizzou. We got the same effing crew against them all 3 times we played them last year.... after we proved how much better we were mid-way though game one, the fix was in.

17 that rodent....

Or the last two minutes of OT vs UConn when the refs actually tried to hand a National Semifinal game to UConn on a delayed BS flagrant foul call.

I watched a few minutes of the start of that game and there was a point early in Q1 where A'ja came down the court on offense and slammed into Mizzou's post hard three times before they finally called a foul on her. It was blatantly a foul. That's when Mizzou got pissed and started waving for the crowd to get involved. USC is good, but the sense of entitlement is ridiculous. We need to win the SEC this year.

Mizzou kinda has their number as they beat them in columbia last year. But yeah, cry me a river dawn. You say the 'best player in america' wasn't allowed to play more than half the game? No dawn, she is allowed to play the entire game by the same rules as everyone else. Just can't commit more than 4 fouls.

.. where A'ja Wilson got into foul trouble, playing less than 1/2 the game as a result. But from the times I have watched them, AW has got away with murder, as far as I'm concerned.

Yesterday, Vivians got in foul trouble; finished with ~4 points; sat for most of the game.

If games are called straight up that will happen to Wilson in nearly every game. She plays like a bull in a china shop. It was ridiculous how she was protected by the refs in our games with them last year, especially the one in Columbia.

agreed when we played them here in SC last year, both our two bigs got in foul trouble early and Wilson was hammering our girls late under the basket with no fouls called. Heck Staley even acknowledged that if that game was played elsewhere they don't win

Very good point....

There were so many no-calls in that game but the one that stands out in my mind was blair getting absolutely steamrolled standing stock still with her hands in the air on our FT line with the game on the line. NO CALL . What is being said is right about wilson. She plays very rough and tends to get away with it. I hope we get the crew from the mizzou game when we play the hens in the hump.

I think they are more of a one-trick pony this year but they apparently have another really good player waiting in the wings pending NCAA approval.

Also, from how its shaping up, UT could be the biggest challenge this year. Gotta play em in K-town too.
