Odomes Flagrant last night

[Soonerinkc]

I dunno....I didn't see anything that looked like it warranted a flagrant...

Anyone know why?

 

[jaymOU]

not a clue, which is exactly how much information the color commentator added to the broadcast as well.

just like NFL, NCAA, soft soft soft!

I happened to see someone post a link on Twitter last week to a weekly NCAA officiating video about this specific issue. It is a point of emphasis this season, so like it or not, we will see it a lot. They have decided that the "hook and hold" is a safety issue, which I actually agree with. If you hook a guy's arm and then yank down as he is trying to rebound, it can do damage. Very hard to determine in real time, which is why they are encouraging them to go to video replay. Not saying I agree or disagree with last night's call, just giving you some background.

Here is the link to the video that includes this type of play, for anyone interested.

ah..that was it then..I guess.:facepalm

I can agree with the safety issue but man, that was a weak example of it. Now if Odomes had pulled him so hard he fell...then give it a F1.

Jeeze...no inbetween.

Yeah. But why play tackle football then?

NBA is far beyond soft on their foul calls.

The ncaa and rule makers generally in sports, are ruining most of the sports these days.

NFL is unwatchable with the QB protections and general screwing of the defenders.. ncaa basketball is a foulfest that ruins the majority of game's flows and the pathetic flagrants are about to push me over the edge..

Call me old fashioned.. but i think you should know/feel if you are getting fouled by the flagrant 1 variety (hook and hold the players aren't even complaining in that ncaa video lmao) and a flagrant 2 foul should result from such a play that a player is about to get up and swing punches lol. Just because there is any contact to a head should not mean flagrant 2 AND ejection. Pathetic

How about McNeace’s tech in game one?

Definite hook and hold. I was at practice when the players were receiving instructions on how this would be called this year. The instructor was a referee. A point of emphasis.

I figured it must be a point of emphasis because that's never been a flagrant 1 before.

And, for those complaining, it's not as if the guy committing the foul is playing the ball and accidentally colliding with the guy. It's grabbing the guy to prevent him from jumping for the ball to the point where it could injure him needlessly. Anyone who doesn't like it should just play the ball.

It's pretty simple: this was a way that guys were getting away with fouling that was tough for the refs to see. Now if you do it, they can review it, figure it out, and you're absolutely hosed. So guys will stop doing it. Seems like a pretty elegant solution. Choosing to hook and grab is a choice; it's not a bang bang play, so this is going to get it out of the game.
