Wow, Tina Charles hit Laia Palau with her forearm in the neck totally on purpose. Was only given an unsportsmanlike foul.

Posted by whom? Was it obvious that she did it on purpose? What does the post even mean?!?!

This must have happened in the EuroLeague, where she is currently playing in Poland for Wisla Can-Pak. WNBA doesn't hold its draft until tomorrow (April 15), training camp doesn't start until May 5, pre-season games begin May 10 and regular season begins May 14.

I'm not sure why this information is of particular interest on an OU women's basketball fan board anyway.

Who cares what Tina Charles does?? OU board I think.

You mean Norm? I'm not sure who OU Board is. As for what Tina Charles did, it's mildly interesting, but I'm not sure what it's significance is.

That's the reason I put 'Tina Charles' in the heading. For those who were interested, they could click the post. For those who were not interested could bypass the post.

I am glad Norm finds info like this that pertains to womens basketball. I appreciate all he does to keep a dialogue going.

Tina is a great player as some one who follows the pro game as much as college it's good to hear how some of them are doing over seas....

I feel like posters like Jerry and tycat947 person who ever that might be are mad and wanted a reason to attack norm because he always keeps it real! and doesn’t just see the world as if Sherri was a god like most of you do here.


I would like to know more on what made Tina do what she did... Courtney did the samething to a player not to long ago...

I haven't been able to find any details. I think the game was in Italy. It would appear she certainly did something beyond a normal foul because it was called "an unsportsmanlike foul". The poster felt she got off light with the call. Maybe we will find something on youtube soon about it.

I bet dollars to donuts that something had been building between the two players and the officials didn't stop it when it started, as they should have.

Awe shucks... Tina could have breathed on princess laia a lil too hard and been teed up. It's a whole nother world with ELW players n refs. Having muscles over there means you are on a short/no leash from the tip. Euro players have an affinity for pinch and twist too. I would hope griner finds some kevlar lined tanks to wear cause it will be very ugly for her unless she goes to china.

This might be a story if a JH kid tossed an elbow. Doesn't anyone watch basketball these days? An elbow to the chops is pretty tame.
