You can also see how wide open McRae is from this angle. I feel better about the play call having seen this.

as to players sounding like dbags... them constantly showing mitch mcgary on the sidelines made me really dislike him. He annoyed me.

Wow - watching that replay pisses me off even more. His feet weren't anywhere near set and he is moving sideways. I thought the rule change did away with this being called a charge.

I hope UK pulls this game out and Randall and company cram it down Morgan's throat and show them the Big10 is full of crap.

Him saying they don't get punked and aren't soft is funny since rather than try to actually play defense he opted to take a charge.. seems more of a soft punk thing to do..

It was a dumb play call by Martin and a terrible call by the official. However, most good officials would have not blown the whistle at all--don't call fouls on a last play like that either way unless it is an egregious hack, say--and had there been no call Stokes would have lost the ball and we would have lost anyway.

Basketball teams have been in that situation a million times: You throw the ball in to a playmaker (McRae or Richardson)--that's why you have playmakers--who makes a move and tries to get a good shot--or take it to the basket; you try to get a shot off with a few seconds left so that if you miss your team has a chance to get the rebound. You don't pass the ball to your center 12 or more feet from the basket. DUMB. And ultimately the proof is in the pudding: the play was dumb and we didn't even get a shot. Since when do you hope your center can make a play away from the basket like that? Had Stokes gotten the ball close to the basket, then, yea, it makes sense. But it does not make sense to throw it to him 12+ feet away.

Stokes makes a play out of that situation all the time. WTF are you talking about?

Agree. Without the BS call, there was a play in progress at that point. It probably would have succeeded with Jordy Mac open down the lane or Stokes taking it to the rim.

I would not have made that call in the last minute of a tight important game. Bad call IMO. Let them play. I don't think he really had position. Douche bag.
