Yes in this particular situation he did...there was no reason to try and split the defenders when Jordan was at top of key

He didn't read it quickly enough, but the bottom line is with the new rules, he can beat his man. Jordan was starting to move forward, so it appeared the pass was coming.

Thats also the same 5 or 6 people who are saying the charge call cost us the game forgetting about the other 39:51 of the game.

No they aren't saying it "cost us the game", but keep changing the subject since you were proven wrong and won't admit it.

This is my official first post here and this is what I came here to say.

Also, as an sec fan and an Arkansas fan, I can't be more proud of the way you guys played and rep'd the conference. It made me sick that it slipped away that way.

Home and home next year will be fun.

By no means was I blaming stokes by using the word "bullying", I was just saying he was trying to force a play and make something out of nothing. Which is what it seems like martin called

Wow...there is a tennessee fan who knows who cost us the game....not the refs

I don't think it cost us the game but it was a bad call in my opinion.

It's been about 50/50 by analysts as well who think it was a good or bad call.

Most agreed the whistle was blown too early and the ref made a mistake in that regard.

If the call is that widely talked about and the consensus is so split on it, then it definitely shouldn't have been called to end a sweet 16 game.

That is what I have been saying...we shouldnt be questioning the call because it could go either way. We should be questioning the judgement to call that foul at that point in the game when it wasn't blatant.

Unless you don't believe it could go either way, which I don't. It was either a block or no call, it wasn't a charge.

You know, people can go back and read your previous posts, like when you say:

"Stop complaining.....it was the right call."

In one post and then say it could go either way, you seem to be contradicting yourself.

Also, zone defense...

Is there a full video somehwere? A deadspin guy was saying the Michigan player who retrieved the ball stepped out of bounds.

You're surprised he's backtracking/revising what he said? Looks like it's what he does best.

U are just dumb....im not saying I believe it could go either way, I was responding to a post saying analyst had split thoughts on it....so im saying people aren't going to agree and the call could have went either way depending on peoples opinion because it wasn't blatant....I believe it was a charge that would have been called if it happened earlier in the game. ..with this being said it doesn't mean I agree with his judgement to call it at that point in the game since it wasn't 100% obvious...and here let me stroke your ego because you obviously need it. Sorry I was wrong about the zone call, you were right almighty vol fan. Now can you man up and stop blaming refs

Really you didn't say:

"we shouldnt (sic) be questioning the call because it could go either way."

Also, I'm glad you've seen the light on your zone issue. I'm here to educate, that's what I do.

The rule was changed last year and says the defensive player must be set BEFORE the offensive player BEGINS his move. That was clearly not the case. Jarnell took a step before the defensive player set.

That and the defensive player was falling before he made contact with Stokes. If you overlook those 2 minor details it was a good call.

Please, bring something constructive as to why it was a bad call instead of just going to the ole go to of calling people stupid or morons. Brings nothing to the conversation.

Let me see if I got this summary of his postings correct:

"It was the right call so stop complaining, but I'm not saying it was the right call only people are going to question it but they shouldn't question it because it was the right call but it wasn't the right time to call it even though it was the right call but stop saying I said it was the right call and stop complaining about it even though people should question it....even though it was the right call (but I never said it was)".

That sound about right?

There are so many options that if it doesn't work it's going to be seconded guess. There wasn't a clear cut play.

I didn't mind the thought of the ball in Stokes hand. Just thought it would have been better to give him more space to go either way.

I meant it could go either way in public opinion, so we shouldnt question the call. We should question if he should have blew the whistle to begin with. Even if it was a charge you should let it play out in that situation. But I believe it was a charge it just shouldnt have been called. Like in football there is holding on most plays doesn't mean you call it every play. Got to use good judgment

yep. We gave them the baseline as an extra defender. Made him one dimensional. He's not taking a 15 footer to win the game, and he's not going left. Not sure how you get it to him farther out though without risking running out of time.
