In the BIG tourney for this Illinois vs Iowa game. I like the games where they let them play. Hopefully we get different officials for Friday.

It was a physical game, lots of blood, lots of toughness.In the BIG tourney for this Illinois vs Iowa game. I like the games where they let them play. Hopefully we get different officials for Friday.
Iowa shot 43 freethrows...illinois 12..hmm
Yeah, I hate games where there is a whistle every trip down court. Same with flags o'plenty in football.
Then again, if a team is going to blatantly foul, what are the refs to do? At some point they have to call the action on the court.
Despite the Illinois coaches desire to drive on Iowa the players rarely did...settling for 30 three point attempts instead. Iowa on the other hand pounded the ball inside to pickup most those fouls.Iowa shot 43 freethrows...illinois 12..hmm

Every fan base thinks the officials are missing fouls on their teams and they do but Illinois in your face defense deserved those fouls and probably many more that wasn't called do to referee fatigue blowing the whistle.
Not saying every Iowa foul was called but the discrepancy is warranted the way this game was played. Iowa doubled them up on rebounds as well.
Kansas-esque
I thought forearm checking was okay now...you just can't extend the arm. Right?That Kansas game you're referring to on foul discrepencies was horrid. The horrid part was that WV should've been called for at least 7-8 more fouls. Huggins tells his players to forearm check and initiate contact all over the court (both are fouls). His strategy is to basically wear the officials down. It's a really bad tactic but it does give him the ability to cry when they lose.
If one team wants to foul and the others don't, then it makes perfect sense to see a lop sided # of fouls on one team vs the other. That alone does not mean any team is getting screwed. If you don't want to see fouls called, then don't foul. You can play clean or dirty, there is a choice.
Who knows. It's never called consistently. Only thing is sort of clear is that you can't touch any ball handler with both hands, even if they are mowing you over.I thought forearm checking was okay now...you just can't extend the arm. Right?
My point was to say iowa benefited from the foul line..when Nu pounded the hawks all we heard was that we only won because of our transfers and the refs having a glaring difference at the line in favor of NU..that is allDespite the Illinois coaches desire to drive on Iowa the players rarely did...settling for 30 three point attempts instead.

I am, yes. Like at the top of 3 point line. So according to the roles when the defender touches the guy with the ball with his hand it should be a foul.Here is the 10.1.4 / "freedom of movement" rule:
"The following acts constitute a foul when committed against a player with the ball:
a. Keeping a hand or forearm on an opponent;
b. Putting two hands on an opponent.
c. Continually jabbing an opponent by extending an arm(s) and placing a hand or forearm on the opponent;
d. Using an arm bar to impede the progress of a dribbler."
An arm bar is not allowed anywhere outside of the post box. Are you referring to on-ball defenders?
I am, yes. Like at the top of 3 point line. So according to the roles when the defender touches the guy with the ball with his hand it should be a foul.
Cool, thanks!The language I've had communicated to me is that a "stayed" hand is a foul. A "hot stove" touch, is not. It comes down to if that contact interrupts freedom of movement. I see it refereed all the time where an armbar from a defender is placed on a dribbler but is then removed without interrupting freedom of movement. I would consider it marginal contact. Some may not.
But yes, largely the NCAA wants FOM contact on the dribbler called a foul.
You're welcome. I hope I answered your question!Cool, thanks!
