INADVERTENT WHISTLE?

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Are you serious?

Unreal

Yeah because those pesky inbounds plays are so hard to execute at this level.***

 

[CochiseCowbell]

What the 17? How convenient.

Exactly. That was deja vu from the Louisville game where we would have lost it if not for Roshunda Johnson.

 

[Lowdog]

That was total BS! Come on man that was to obvious!

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

17'em, we won despite the zebra's agenda.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Should’ve executed, but it still benefits the defense.

 

[cowbell88]

I lost my **** on that and the following steel. Would have definitely been escorted out of building if in person. Think I need some Basil Hayden’s to decompress after that.

 

[MSUDawg25]

How often do you even see that happen? Much less at such a critical point in the game. I get that they were likely expecting SC to foul right then, but damn. Easily could have cost us the game.

 

[Original48]

Yeah this is a new one. My compliments to the refs for their ingenuity.

 

[dawgman42]

Don't they know you throw a stuffed rooster out there?

Amateurs.

WATCH THE PLAY ON TV!! The Ref at mid court is watching us dribble the ball and burn the clock, Ref then turns her head and looks DIRECTLY AT DAWN "RESTING ***** FACE" STALEY, then Ref blows the whistle TWO TIMES...not just one inadvertent whistle but TWO...blew her whistle TWICE...AFTER looking towards DAWN STALEY for instruction.

Ha ha, it isnt just a human making a mistake. It isnt a professional jumping the gun at what they anticipate happening(a foul), but instead its a covert direct response from the silent directive given in real time by Staley.

Brilliant.***

Refs suck sometimes. Sometimes they suck a lot of times.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

I'm just waiting for a human mistake by a Ref that benefits us at a pivotal moment in a key game. I think it'll happen at the same exact moment that I win the Mega Millions Lotto.

And y’all said I was full of **** when I suggested the refs in Women’s BKB games tend to side with female coaches.

ETA: Vic should put Dominique Dillingham’s cute *** court side when when they play a female-coached team.

Nope, Dom is a known criminal after her brutal assault of Katie Lou Samuelson two years ago**

 

[Mechanicaldawg]

I was only able to keep up with the game with live stats. What was the deal with the inadvertent whistle? I saw where there was a steal afterwards, but can someone give me the details of what happened?

We had the ball, up 66-62, with around 50 seconds left and around 20 seconds left on the shot clock (I don't remember the exact numbers). South Carolina looked content to play it out and see if they could get a stop (not foul). So Jazz was dribbling next to Vic waiting until the shot clock wound down to make a move.. South Carolina player was guarding her but not closely.. All of a sudden, the ref blows her whistle.. Everybody looked surprised and confused.. She then tells Coach Vic that it was an accident.. You can read his lips after and he either says "Wow, you're bad" or "Wow, that's bad"..

Anyway, as a result, State has to inbound the ball giving the defense a chance for a steal or 5 second violation.. they get the steal and make it 66-64 with around 40 seconds left.. never happens without the inadvertent whistle.

God that was so ******. It's a wonder they didn't have her placed on the whipping post before the game was even over.

I might be biased but I never hear the ladies BB talking heads say very much about the job Vic has done. They love to tell us how great Staley or one of their darling coaches are but not one of them has mentioned he led us to back to back championship games and is back at the top while losing more than a couple of players along the way.

He doesn't get the accolades he deserves.

I heard a lot about how USCe's guards are better than ours and about how Dawn Staley has simmered down even though her players might disagree.. I even heard that USCe might win a part of the championship with the win..

But I didn't hear a lot about the hours that Schaefer and his staff spend tirelessly game planning and getting their team to be in the best position to win. I didn't hear a lot about this being State and Schaefer's 2nd SEC Championship in a row.. I also didn't hear much about how he replaced 4 starters and another player mid-season..

If he doesn't win SEC COTY, then the whole award scene is a joke.. he should be the only candidate considered.

I agree and add I also heard how they were shutting down T but barely a word when she took over the second half.

When we came from behind they were so subdued you would think they were wearing garnet and white.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Not enough to even rate an apology letter.

I'll second that!

 

[tcdog70]

the whistle was bad. But with a 4 point lead and under a minute--you should never throw the ball toward the other teams goal. Howard just made a stupid play. Basketball IQ sometimes is under appreciated.. I would have had Big T up close so we could have lobbed it up to Her.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Should've executed what? That point is moot. We should have never been throwing it in anyway.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Exactly.

By that time I had already long muted the TV and synced the radio broadcast. Makes for a much nicer experience win or lose.

Yeah that was a terrible decision to throw it in there with both players sprinting neck and neck toward USC's basket. Would have been better to take a five second call. Teachable moment. Should have never been in that situation though. Simple incompetence no conspiracy.

 

[$altyDawg]

That's exactly how I felt when Katie Lou Sameulson (UCONN) flopped so dramatically and goaded the refs into giving us a T.
17 em! We won any damn way!

This is quote of the day, and nominee for the year.

Best part is, we overcame and WON BOTH TIMES! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BiscuitEater]

Yeah because those pesky inbounds plays are so hard to execute at this level.***

Ahhhh .. ANY inbounds is an issue. MSU forced SEVERAL TOs when USC was inbounding.

 

[Seinfeld]

Yeah, it was just one big all around mess. That said, it seems like a really minor rule change could fix this. On an inadvertent whistle, the team with possession takes it out at mid court, and the defending team is not allowed to go into back court until the team has possession.

I get that all of this is a really odd occurrence that may never happen again, but either way, the defending team should not have an opportunity for a steal during an inbound play when the other team did absolutely nothing to warrant the inbound play to begin with
