Nix Flagrant Foul
Nix's flagrant is just something that drives me nuts. What is the difference between what Nix did and what Woford did to GR3? Nothing really, except Nix outweighs Craft by 100lbs. I hate when the foul is determined because of the size of the player or more precisely the differential of size between the 2 players. Nix is a goon but if he made the exact same play on Thomas it doesn't get called. Too bad it wasn't Spike who got that breakaway we would be BIg Ten champs.
All right I'm done bitching please return to hating the basketball team and looking for spring football nuggets.
Your team sucks. Stop crying.
The board's what?

I suppose I could put in some check for banned people, provided I have access to such a list. I'm not sure I can distinguish a deleted post from a real one based on what the server gives me.
I somewhat agree with you (in terms of there should had been a flagrant on Watford) but Nix CLEARLY made no basketball play where Watford probably did not...the difference may be minor but still a difference.
*Watford
Nothing to see here. I don't think Nix meant any harm and I agreed with the flagrant 1 they gave him for the play.
Don't be nieve. Some I might give the benefit of the doubt, but this guy is a goon.
This could have gone here:
I think Glen Robinson lll got screwed twice with no flagarants called against him. The IU game was an missed call and the Ohio game he got hit in the head late, but everyone forgets that because Michigan pulled out the W. I just hate the inconsitency of officiating this year.
This year?
Urban Warfare's no response = Touche
I'm just amazed he waited until this year to complain about the inconsistency of B1G basketball officiating.
There is no difference. Both should have been flagrants. The refs just didn't have the balls to make that call against the Hoosiers.

There was a huge study done in the last decade where a bunch of English soccer refs came to the US to try and figure out why we aren't better at the sport.Interesting. Do you have a link?
Diana Moon Glampers thanks you for the Vonnegut reference.
but they say Watford's was worse.
GR3 was on a clear breakaway. Enough said.
...and, after the push in the back, he slapped GR3 on the shoulder which gave him the 'making a play at the ball' call. But he was about 3 feet away from the ball where he made the slap as GR had the ball extended.
Nix also slapped at Craft's shoulder which was the entire foul. You really could make an argument that Nix's pull on the shoulder was very close to the ball. If Craft had lifted the ball for a shot (he just kept it tucked), Nix might have hit it.
Lol, what? Can you come up with anymore if's and mights? That's like saying I "might" be a porn star "if" I had a bigger penis.
The difference is that Nix attempted to hack off Aaron Craft's head with his arm to the point where the announcers had to debate whether or not it was an F1 or F2. While with Watford's you COULD make an argument he was making a play on the ball.
But of course all the sparties are all ''JIM DELANY CONSPIRACY OMGZ!''

Neither does Wisconsin.
Someone needs to tell fat boy to hit up Jenny Craig.
When people are moving that fast around one another, that is going to happen. Sometimes the slow motion replays make it look worse. It looked like he tried to go for the ball, but was too fat and slow to get there in time so he got his neck. (Lol Sorry I had to) I think maybe it could have been in intentional foul? But I think flagrant is pushing it.
There's no such thing as an intentional foul anymore--it is now a flagrant 1.
...and for those that did not watch the game, here is the call in question:
He reached in a direction toward the ball, but ended up wrapping his neck and pulling.
