Something was definitely said…..as Powell turned around…….totally bs.

However Powell has to regroup and not just turn and quickly chuck up a shot.

Glad he made the second.

When a shooter starts the motion they can’t stop or fake/pause. Powell knew he had already started his upward motion and had to continue or the ref would’ve called the free throw dead.

From what “I” saw he certainly stopped.

he turned and looked…..he hadn’t started the motion yet.

Hey I’m wrong all the time, however I’d have let the ref know and tossed him the ball to try and get a reset.

Heck it all worked out…..but probably better to “argue” what happened before you chuck up a shot rather than afterwards.

You just admitted you were glad he stood over the player saying they deserved it, so he certainly was intending to send a message. The game was chippy, and the officials were not going to give much latitude to taunting an opponent. It isn't so much about whether he deserved a T as much as it is about not giving the refs anything to officiate.

It’s called knowing how to toe the line. The ref doesn’t know he is intentionally standing over the player. Players look into the stands all the time after plays. He isn’t looking at the player on the floor or saying anything to him. They aren’t going to blow the whistle on a guy for that. The exact opposite is why their player got T’d up for chirping after a foul call. If he huddles his players up and makes a snide remark he isn’t getting T’d up because the ref isn’t paying attention but since he clapped and complained about a call out in the open he gets the whistle.

Idk it was just a scrappy game. They definitely were taking it up to the line at some points but honestly I think it juiced up our team and the fans more. That was a lot of fun to watch

Tonights game was very important in that The Vols demonstrated that they could play fast, come back after not scoring a field goal for over 5 minutes, play well under duress, and play with a physical team. They played like a tournament team tonight.

Bama is a tough game every year for TN. Not sure why. Even when TN has had a vastly superior roster, something about the color orange makes Bama shoot lights out.

And bama was in the top 10 just 2 weeks ago. They have Talent. They will be hungry for a W. Vols better forget this W Tonight and refocus.

And the officials know exactly what these guys are doing. They aren't naive and they see it every night.

Regardless, the issue is making yourself available for the officials to make a decision as to what your intent is in that moment. Don't do anything that causes an official to have to judge your intent. I say that as someone who is a sports official at the high school and college level.

Yeah that’s when he was walking back. Good try though.

I'm not sure why you're trying to be so contentious about it. He blocked the shot, and afterward, made it a point to stare down at him before quickly thinking better of it. I've seen guys get T'd up for less. Your issue seems to be that you believe I'm advocating that he should have been given a technical or that his actions deserved a technical, and I'm not saying that, at all.

What I am saying is that it isn't smart to give an overzealous official an opportunity to interject themselves into that situation, especially in a game that has experienced a number of situations in which players have been jawing at each other and the officials have already demonstrated a willingness to make that call. I think JJJ realized that and attempted to minimize the time spent in that corner to give the officials an opportunity to govern the situation.

Watched it again and it looks like the Arizona player said something to Powell before he shot the first attempt.

I know there was a lot of jawing from their players the entire game.

Just seemed like poor sportsmanship to me.

Punks didn't realize. Now they lost.

Zona acted like they were just " suppose" to win. Ahh, that's too bad.

He didn’t get a technical. Move on. Home court advantage. We got away with one. Good for us. Chalk it up to we got a call.

Arizona is a good/great team. They seemed tough in a lot of ways and soft in a lot of ways. Gotta stop cryin though if they wanna make a run. Stop trying to act like Duke. Only they can pull off being crybabies

SVescovi really came to life after some bench time early in 2nd half after shooting something like 1/7 3pt line.

Came back in hot with shooters hand and more aggressive.

Fulky was player of the game but SVescovi, Nkamhoua, JJJ and seasoned players really stepped up.

Arizona’s coach, Tommy Lloyd, was very classy in his comments after the game. He told his own players to quit complaining and just play. He also made an interesting comment saying their plan was to let Fulky get his points and keep the other Vols at bay.

Should have been a technical. Or, at a very minimum he should have gotten shot back

THIS^^^^ Unless TN has different rules in bball than the rest of the country... it most def shouldve been a technical foul. Players are NOT to try and distract the FT shooter in any way. Its up to the discretion of the ref to take action or have the shooter have another attempt. I think the ref thought Chandler said something.
