I don't like when they let the defender ride the dribbler and reach and then the dribbler will drive him off a little bit and the defender goes down and it's a charge.

You're letting the defensive guy get away with a lot and then the charge is because of that.

Ive seen many games come down to the final 10 seconds, neither team has a time out. The officials always go to the replay for a clock issue. This gives both teams the chance to discuss strategy on the sidelines.

I don't think it has been too bad. Honestly it's about time they start calling some, as often times if it's close the offense just gets the benefit of the doubt.

But honestly, thats how it should be. Taking a charge is very tough to do correctly, and the defender is getting the benefit of the doubt now for bad defense. You have to be square and planted in enough time for the offensive player to avoid you. If they have already jumped or are about to jump, its a block everytime. That hasnt been the call, and its getting worse and worse in terms of sliding, not even set, not being square etc. Thats my issue. Personally, man the fuck up and block a shot (Zack Novak) lol

That is why I will never foul before a 3pt attempt. I think its more likely they get the rebound than make the 3 pt shot.

EDIT: with that much time left.

it would depend on the team

Memphis being an athletic team good at crashing the boards, there was a good probability that they would get it

so probably not that smart there

I have a feeling William Buford is going to try to take this tourney over. So far, he's succeeding, he just has that look.

The only chance UTSA has is to slow the game down, only problem with that is that OSU executes as well as any team in the country.

Matta could've answered that question a lot worse about pulling his guys

if that's the K-State coach he would've put that reporter in a choke hold
