And they even looked at it.
How? When Sheldon shove CC in the back of the head.

22's fairly consistent remarks and hand gestures will not go over well in the WNBA.
Lot of black n gold colored glasses viewing this thread. She didn’t shove her. C’mon man.
I saw it live and watched again when I got home. Take your blinders off Mr. Ed.
CC is a target. Her greatness makes her a target for other players to want to go at her, want to get under her skin, want to try getting her rattled. Sheldon was all over her head/neck from behind going for the ball, CC responded with some spitfire, good for her, she knows she's a target for other players who want to try making a name for themselves. Sheldon was kind of laughing right after it happened, she knew. Good for them, they'll have a great story for their grandkids one day about how they got under the skin of the GOAT.
That’s the big difference. I don’t wear blinders. The techs on OSU were weak at best. Agree to disagree.
Someone else posted (can't find it now) that McMahon's tech was not for the shove but rather for what she said to Stuelke. Likewise, Davis's tech was for what she said afterwards to the referee. Believe whatever you want.
Man, I’ve seen some dumb shit on this board, but thanks for moving up to #1 on the list.
I was an assistant referee recently for a quarterfinal girls high school state soccer championship. The match had been hard fought and there were the usual complaints from players and coaches but nothing extraordinary. Suddenly on a foul restart the referee pulled out a red card and ejected a tall player, a center defender. She left the pitch crying “What did I do?! What did I do?” She was inconsolable on her team’s bench.
Unfortunately we didn’t have a ref comm system for this game so I had to wait til the end to ask the referee what happened. “She said ‘Who’s paying you?’”
As referees we can take criticism — we expect it. It’s part of the game. But never, ever question our integrity. A soccer player spent the last 10 minutes of her high school playing career — maybe more — crying on her team’s bench. All over three little words.
Yeah, what is said matters.
If you have the chance to re-watch the game, notice the interactions between Caitlin and Jacy Sheldon. They were in each other's faces all game long. Neither one ever backed down. It was a war out there.
After the bully ball that the Buckeyes were allowed to play in our first matchup, I was grateful that the officials kept a fairly tight rein on things yesterday.

That's kinda petty. Refs gotta have thicker skin than that. A warning would have been sufficient.
If you want to apply that standard then watch how much she gets fouled on and off the ball where nothing is called. She is brutalized every single night she plays.
What a shitty ref. This entire story about not questioning integrity and his actions absolutely has me questioning his integrity. A yellow and talk off to the side would have been sufficient. Or just the talk off to the side
How many bullshit calls did he make before she said that? I have watched enough high school soccer officials preen around the pitch and make absolutely bulkshit calls to know they often get it wrong and then double down with cards to control a game. Because they suck as officials. Many hold petty grudges and brag to each other about who they carded in which games
This official needs to not be an official if he is sending a girl off in a state level game
Apply what standard? Yes - she gets mugged a lot. But that doesn't mean every time she goes to the basket it's a foul. However, your comment here is regarding a judgement call, which generally all fouls called are. Right or wrong. If you are referring to slamming the ball, that is NOT a judgement call any more. It's a F'n rule to take subjectivity out of it.
