Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

Boeheim just went off on a reporter in the postgame presser. It was awesome.

 

What for?

 

Breathing while Gregg Doyel.

 

It's a fair cop.

 

Someone -- not sure if it was Doyle, but it was a CBS.com writer -- asked him about retiring.

 

A terrible charge call, as the defender was sliding after Triche left his feet.

 

I thought there were three key calls in the last two minutes of the game that had a huge impact. (1) The play at midcourt, which should have been a player control call on Hardaway but was called on Carter-Williams. (2) The offensive foul on Carter-Williams, where Hardaway clearly flopped, (3) the block/charge call on Triche. Not only were those calls incorrect, the last two were the 5th fouls on Carter-Williams and Triche and took two of Syracuse's best players out of the game.

 

But the top player for Syracuse was not slapped in the face, twice, in the second half.

 

Also, on the rebound on the last 3 by Syracuse, the Michigan player clearly traveled.

Edited -- not last 3, last shot.

 

Nice to see ManYoo fans complaining about officiating extends to other sports.

 

The block/charge was no red card on Nani, but it was still bad.

I got Boeheim alone after, & apologized for the column I wrote after the Bernie Fine deal. Told him I was reeling from Penn St. Went too far

The column from November 2011, titled "Boeheim's statements go too far and should cost him his job"
