he just committed to ohio state.

apparently, you're here to incite. i get that. because of that, i will continue this discussion no further. take care. best of luck to you and your volunteers. they're a good team, and i expect to see many good things from them.

okay, let's assume that arm bars happen all the time. hard contact does, too. also, that an arm bar is common doesn't excuse it. there is still a foul. look at greg's position as the player is holding his arm. oden is bending well back toward the ball. one can hardly claim that this arm...

absolutely. however, taking no free throws is not uncommon for either j. smith and lofton. i have a funny story about dublin coffman. i ran districts there one year in the 4x800. we were raised in a small area that was unaccustomed to having new facilities. before the race, we made our...

by the way, tvol, where in dublin do you live?

each has had about the same percentage (approximately 33%) of games where they shot no free throws.

but if there's going to be a discussion about why oden wasn't called for an intentional foul, why is it inappropriate (or at least rarely discussed) for someone to ask why the refs called no foul at all for the arm bar? the picture clearly shows a foul. if the refs had called that foul, there...

all intentional fouls are not intentional fouls... if you get my drift. it is very common for players to intend to foul other players. it happens at the end of every game that has a difference in score of at least a possession. i don't have any doubt that oden intended to commit a hard foul...

as i stated before, lofton hasn't shot a free throw in 32% of the games he's played this year. he also has a number of other games where he's shot 2 or fewer free throws. and, tvols, are you absolutely certain that no fouls were ever called on a player defending lofton? just because a player...

you need to watch the different angles of the foul. the primary shot that cbs has shown doesn't shed much light on the fact that oden first contacted the xavier player with his chest. the first part of oden's body that contacted cage was neither his hands nor his arms. he first contacted cage...

smith doesn't even average 3 free throws per game. heck, he's had 9 games this year where he hasn't shot even one. 50% of his attempts on thursday were 3-point attempts. i bet at least a couple more were jump shots. almost 75% of lofton's shots were 3-pointers. another 3 of his 18 were...

conley and lofton play different games. you're generally not going to get hand-checking fouls if you're not driving to the bucket. conley drives to the bucket. more than 80% of his scoring is a result of penetration--either by teardrops, layups, or foul shots off of penetration. on the other...

i'm pasting this from my post on buckeyeplanet: if you only look at the foul disparity, you would think that memphis got the short end of the stick. that couldn't be farther from the truth. one needs to look beyond just the stats and uncover what lies beneath. this applies to the game...

i didn't come here to flame, nor did i come here to give any personal shots. please read my posting history if you doubt me. anyway, the videos i posted were not about the dunks; they were about his moves. stunn, the kid is over 7-foot. how many 7-footers at or under the age of 18 have you...

i'm highly doubtful that oden will stay. no one knows what his decision will be, though. i bet greg doesn't even know. perhaps if his last game was the game against the vols, he'd be more on the side of staying. his showing against xavier and tennessee was mediocre at best--credit given to...
