THUG PLAY = FOUL PLAY

Op

Cardwell at least did. That guy appears to have some class. Unlike a bunch of others on that team.

The Vols recruited Cardwell, if I recall correctly.

The problem with the new interpretation is that giving the offensive player two pivot feet negates good defensive positioning. I've seen it dozens of times, and it's especially irksome when the color announcer (who usually played the game) goes off on what a killer offensive move was made.

Yep that was another rule from the Dark Ages. You had one pivot foot and if it moved a fraction, it was a walk. Saw an Auburn player move his 3 times on the same play.

#1 seeds don't get EMBARRASSED on the court in February in the middle of league play.

How exactly has Auburn been embarrassed? Close losses to all ranked teams (4 of the 5 of which against teams in the top 10 in the nation). I mean, played down to expectations sure, but embarrassed is a tad extreme lol

I’ve said it many times on here and I’ll say it again, Cardwell is a class act and good teammate/leader. His play has not lived up, but he’s still one of my faves to don the Auburn uniform.

The previous poster was not referencing Auburn. I don't suspect you have an opinion on the actual subject.

I know the previous poster was referencing Tennessee, but I took your post as referencing Auburn.

Florida got destroyed by 20 at the beginning of February.

Gotcha. Apologies, considering this thread is mainly directed at Auburn, I immediately took your post as a jab at em.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

They play tough and at times, dirty. Still that doesn't make them "thugs".

 

[508mikey]

Officials absolutely tried to take this game from the vols. Two times in a row they called it auburn ball but after review it was Tn ball. Just one example, there were many more.

I think maybe the idiot refs did miss a 5 second inbound violation on Igor though or maybe they were to dumb to know the rule

Wow that rules out FL TOO, with our more recent 20 point beat down of them.

I have a feeling nobody is worthy of the 1 seed, we should do without it this year.

I thought the original rule was that you get 1 and a half steps. When you picked up the dribble, you got one step and up. Any more than than that was walking. At least it was back in the Dark Ages when I played. I know things are a lot more liberal in the rules these days. They don’t call 3 seconds, charging or over the back either.

Lots of traveling in today's game. Watch a player take a pass, and walk two steps or take two hops to cancel his momentum. Watch almost anyone dribble, and pause the ball at the top of the dribble with a hand underneath it. Watch a player make a small hop with both feet, to slightly adjust foot position, before beginning a dribble.

One and a half steps is what I was taught, learning the game in the 60s.

He’s talking about Florida. Try to keep up.

Don’t forget the FT they tried to take from us. Not to mention the NO TOUCH foul on 12 that replay and announcers clearly showed.

Makes many shots less difficult with the allowance of blatant, textbook traveling violations

I am amazed at when a player catches the ball, they often take two or three steps back. Never called a travel.

That actually didn't change that long ago in college. Even in the NBA they call the pivot foot violation more so than in college now

That’s who he is referring to…..

It was a response to the poster who said TN’s beat down in January disqualified them from being a #1 seed. He was basically saying “then FL too” for THIER beat down suffered to TN in February.

 

[Volnanza]

Agreed about the play style... disagree about us DESERVING a 1 seed.
IMO, #1 Seeds don't get embarrassed on the court at the start of league play,, MAYBE in early NOV., not in January.

Yeah, we skunked Florida by 20 and embarrassed them.

Without Ziegler and Milicic for the entire game

 

[kptvol1452]

Broome is getting the NBA star treatment. Breathe on him and it’s a foul. But it’s OK for him to deliver a deliberate stiff arm and hand to Gainey’s face. That was not “incidental contact”. Great college player but he is now getting what we should forevermore call The Edey Effect.

Yeah Bilas said he hit him with open
Palm it's not a flagrant....lol the excuses
The talking heads make laughable
GO VOLS!!!!;

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Say what u want,auburn plays dirty.

 

[Butch s]

The other one I have an issue with is the “Eurostep”. Nobody can convince me that’s not walking based on the original rules of basketball.

There is a lot in today’s game, that are not the original rules of basketball

LOL. SO Florida doesn’t deserve to be a one seed either….haha.
