If you look at the replies, some hawk fan posted a bunch of video clips of fouls that weren’t called on WV. Kind of funny.

Oh they will lol…
I’m thinking we should do the same regarding the fair catch call vs the rodents! I’m sure that will get traction as well!

Depends who sees it. If its the official who selected the refs for the national championship game last year they'll say Iowa shouldn't have won and give the game to WV.

What a bunch of crackheads

 

[kceasthawk]

The one defensive “move” they don’t call that I wish they would is when a defender is beat…when they put their near hand down / inwards into the near hip of the offensive player with the ball to impede their progress / slow them down / gain position.

that is a God Damned Foul. Call it!

Which leads Clark to use her off forearm to hold off the defender, and she gets a charge call for the chicken wing. Of course this is only a reaction to the defender grabbing or holding the arm.

LOLOL. So what EXACTLY is "an official complaint"? I'm sure its worth it weight in charmin.....

 

[BGHAWK]

Yes, Hannah had a tough time handling and passing the ball and overall they were not ready for WVU's come from behind them swiping and jumping into passing lanes

Agreed and/but Hanna was a beast on the offensive boards especially late in the game.

Exactly, she is defending herself from continuous assault

 

[BGHAWK]

I see players push off several times and get the foul and some are legit and some are flops. I suppose it's a natural thing to reach out with you arm and hard to not do it.

 

[texas twister]

They weren't,.. 10 point hard fought win.

You must not have noticed the score with only 2 minutes left.

Oh yes, the whole team got a talking to at halftime about getting boards.

I'm thinking the Iowa City Police should charge the WV team with assault and battery.

 

[rufus-hawk]

Why because they started fouling everywhere and blew a big lead well not a big lead blew a tie

They started fouling from the opening tip—I saw at least 4-5 very obvious fouls on Caitlin that were not called in the first half. Haven’t watched a replay but guessing many others were not seen on TV.

Annnd, much like every CBB game I’ve watched, the refs let many of them go at first but started calling them late. WVU needs to adjust or be prepared for this to happen in the future.

Thats like the wrestling match that broke out between Hannah and Moore for WV. The first time they just let it go. The second when Hannah got her face smashed into the floor, they had to call something. The physicality has gotten WAY out of hand. When they ask a coach, "how to plan to defend Clark, or slow her down" its always "we'll have to be physical with her". Which we all know means body checks, forearms to the body, grabbing, the occasional elbow. Yet people complain about the foul calls. Crazy. There ALL fouls! Thats NOT basketball. At least its not supposed to be, but ass hats like Izzo have made this high contact a blueprint, especially against teams you can't score with. Just muddy the game up into an alley fight......

Will absolutely NOT disagree with this statement.

I learned that I lack humility and class because I do not agree with a West Virginia fan's view of the officiating.
