How do you explain that final no-call? Asking seriously.

[cncchris33]

Certainly doesn't look like Broome is setting a legal screen right there either, also looked pretty clear that he shoved Santi out of bounds to force a turnover.

College officials miss call. Yes, he fouled him, but I believe he didn't get the benefit of the whistle because he kept flopping and flailing when he went up to shoot. I think it's as simple as that, plus it's harder to make those calls on the last shot.

Agreed

Top red arrow shows contact just after Green has released the ball and Nkamhoua is not even close to vertical.

Bottom red arrow shows that Nkamhoua doesn’t even have both feet on the ground at first contact. He has not established his position, his feet, nor his cylinder.

If Green comes straight down on the vertical it is a foul. However, he did not --- He lunged forward with his upward body and threw/kicked his legs out encircling ON's waist line. Thus making it a NO Call. Green's aggressiveness and the fact he had been doing this the whole game came to the point of where any Ref was say "No, I am not buying it". End of Story - End of Game.

My disagreement has nothing to do with what Green did. His reputation as a flopper worked against him, I absolutely agree with that.

It's pretty hilarious to read all these no-foul interpretations. Impressive mental gymnastics, boys.

I am not saying you did. I wish the shot would have gone in and the ref waived it off and called an illegal screen on Broome. That would have gotten a mess and given many much to talk about. CBP was going to be upset no matter what and had this been in reverse we would have been equally upset. CBP didn't have much to say and probably got an explanation but denied it. Broome following the Ref to the Tunnel is was something I had never seen before and he should be disciplined for doing so.

In an alternate reality, the foul was called and the AU player made the first two but missed the last free throw. Vols won...again.

 

[volfan102455]

There was another foul no one wants to talk about on the play - but whatever. Some of you obviously wanted to see the Vols lose.

 

[volfan102455]

For Tennessee fans who have a problem with the final no call; take solace in the fact a no call on the illegal screen set by Broome should have negated the final no call. He was obviously moving and then extended his arms. Obvious but yet again, no call.

This, but no one is up in arms about that. I do wonder if the basket had been made if the call would have been made though. I suspect it is one of those where the end result was what the end result would be if no call was made.

That really is an alternate reality if a FL player shot free throws for Auburn

 

[Dr H Lecter]

If pushing Vescovi out of bounds just before this was a no call after the ball was awarded to Auburn on the call, I figure this was a make up call.

 

[Mightyvol]

Ok, it was a bad no call, the ref should have called charging for jumping into O. Now, that should satisfy those who wanted a call. Game over.

I just saw video of the Auburn game, and I cannot logically explain how that referee could not call Nkamhoua for a foul on Auburn's final shot!

Sure, we can take solace in the idea that the bad calls even out over the course of a season, but HOW--in that instance--does a ref swallow his whistle? Is human judgement that fallible? Are games rigged? How do you explain that call?

To my knowledge of the game, despite Olivier's raised hands and stable upper body, jump-stopping into his final position he was obviously late. He moved his body into the shooter's landing space( who did not elevate for his shot in an exaggeratedly forward disposition). Textbook call--right?

And even when refs choose to "let 'em play" in the final seconds, no matter how much extra contact they allow, they always reward basketball IQ and punish a stupid or clumsy move.

I come to VolNation to learn as much as to vent, so please enlighten me: was it me, or the referee, that missed something on that final play?

*note: I later saw Bruce Pearl's postgame interview, and he said he received "no explanation" about that final call.

Not enough contact to warrant the call....and a make up call for the shove out of bounds. Tit for tat. Done.

 

[ttocswob]

I think this is actually a plausible explanation. You could see right from the beginning that it was part of their gameplan to flop, beg and hope the refs would give them some free throw point opportunities. I started calling them Slip-and-fall-burn before halftime.

“Slip-and-fall-burn” underrated post.

The last minutes of every sport are officiated differently. It's human nature, and it happens. You don't call PI in the endzone on a hail mary unless someone gets absolutely mugged. You don't call a pk in the last minute of a match unless the guy gets murdered (cause in certain places you might get murdered), and you don't call a foul on a 3 pointer as time expires without blood. It's not in the rulebook, but it happens in every sport. What I don't get is why announcers are constantly shocked by it.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The best part was last night Auburn had 27 PFs to A&Ms 17 and Broome fouled out. So they were crying the entire night about calls or no calls, it was hilarious.

Auburn was 9 of 14 from FTs
A&M was 31 of 39 from FTs

A&M won by 5 and it was absolutely a game they lose without all the FTs.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Ref wasn't having an OT, dinner was ready at home

 

[Zues1]

Make up no call

 

[WillisWG]

Happens all the time

 

[papatomany]

I'll add this: from his days here until now, Pearl rides the refs so hard that it influences the calls negatively. They don't want to give him anything, because he just won't let up. Combine that with the previous flops, and you've got a mystery no-call.

 

[wmcovol]

Green fouled more than ON. At that point good no call.

Pearl is just an unlikable personality to anyone he's not schmoozing. He knows how to turn on the charm and appeals to those who like having their ego stroked and fans of whatever team he coaches.
