Q didn't give up the three at the end of the game, though.
well- yeah he did. When Peters fell- it was up to him to stop the ball. He didnt nor did he foul. We were still fine because SC only had 4 players on the offensive end because the guy that threw the ball in hadnt made it up the court. It's a simple rotation and he blew it.Quote:

Edit to add:
You can say he should have fouled him "harder," but then you risk an intentional foul and he did enough to get what was called a foul all day. Can't fault him for doing his job.
He didnt foul him- the ref didnt call it.Quote:

Read my edit. What else was he supposed to do? Intentionally foul him? Could you imagine the backlash on this board if that happened?Quote:

He did his job. Why are you hating? Not his fault the ref blew the call.
Unless you have a bone to pick.
That no call on the foul was on the referee. Q did more than enough to get a foul called, but SEC refs are what they are.
Exactly.Quote:

And I agree Wright needs more time.
It was a foul. The announcers said as much and so did the studio guys during the highlights.Quote:

Played basketball in HS, have watched all my life, but not a coach like some of you guys. Question, why do we put no rebounders on the O end when we are barely up with less than 6 or so seconds left and we have a 2 to 3 point lead (like against Vandy and today)? Looks like we might steal a rebound on a miss or at least slow them down a couple of seconds as they try to rush down the court for the last shot. Maybe we could at least find our man to matchup on D. We seem to have had a tough time getting into position on D in these situations as the other 4 players try to find their man and play D waiting at the other end. Your expertise and opinions appreciated.
He grabbed him as he was going by and made no effort to go for the ball. Had it been called the only call that could have been made was an intentional foul.Quote:

Like WTF?
He didn't have a great game, but he has experience and he fills the stat sheet. Def not the most talented, but gets the job done. Would do much better if he got his head out of his ass and played defense and stopped trying to do too much on offense.
