The final shot by Colorado showing the push off.......

Absolutely an offensive foul.

Refs were terrible.

So many ticky tack calls.

DISGUSTING.

 

He botched a few, to be sure. If it was a different official who was right on top of the final play, and swallowed his whistle.

 

The regular season losses to South Carolina, Texas AM, were officiated games where the physicality that was allowed seemed one sided , then the repeated allowed physicality in the SEC tourney in the Texas AM and Auburn games where it again appeared one sided by the officials causes me at least to question if Im seeing these games with Gator glasses?

Today's game Colorado got to the line for 33 FT's to the Gators 22 attempts.

When I played B-Ball I was tought to establish position and box out with that positioning to put yourself in the best position to rebound. I cant tell you how many times today, I watched Colorado not only establish position but then physically move Gator defenders out, in ways that can best be described as moving screens. For me I wondered what's the difference between seeing a defender shoved out of the way versus a moving box out when it comes to rebounding? Aren't both fouls regardless? Condon was mugged today underneath and I believe Colorado was only called for it 2 times, and Condon was also called for at least 2 questionable fouls?

That last play today was a blatant pushoff, and no call? Golden described it like this "I saw them throw it in to Simpson, and I thought ZP did an incredible job staying down and staying between him and the basket, and Simpson somehow got about five feet of separation off ZP, and made a really tough skilled shot from the baseline. But again, I thought ZP did his job. Stayed in legal guarding position. Stayed between the ball and the basket, and again somehow Simpson just created about seven feet of separation to get that shot off." I believe he was T'd up today because of the way the game was being officiated............

Golden was frustrated with what he was seeing in the way the game was being called as well......no doubt. It seemed at times to be a constant for the Gators at different points of season as well, in as far as when a higher degree of physicality was allowed against the Gators in key games. I dont have a answer for it?

I enjoyed the heck out of this season, minus the questionable officiating at different points of the season!

 

For perspective, Pullins 5th "foul" against Georgia

 

Yeah, I saw that too....on Haugh. Zero chance the ref saw anything on that play.

 

They probably aren’t going to call that on the final last second play of the game. For whatever reason refs don’t call the last play of the game the same as the rest of the game. Pullen is 6-4 and thick. He needs to hold up stronger against that little forearm and stay up on the guy. He didn’t even push him hard. Looked to me like Pullen was hoping they would call the offensive foul and played it up a little bit.

I’m not giving the refs a pass on the game though. There were some egregious calls against us, like the call that fouled out Condon and the call that ended up getting White T’d up, which was 5 points they shouldn’t have gotten, 3 for an offensive foul that was a charge and 2 for the T. That also put an additional foul on Clayton which made us sit him for a long stretch in the 2nd half.

 

On that X post with the four replays running, some Bama fan answered that they were all good calls, specifically saying that on the last play, the Colorado shooter didn't extend his arm. Yeah, right! . I'd like to see a still shot of that play with the Colorado guy's arm at it's fullest extension.

Someone should be able to create an AI program that analyzes calls objectively.

It would also be interesting to see how people view a call if you could somehow make the players/teams anonymous in a video. That actually seems like it would be easy to do with current technologies. (Says the computer illiterate old guy. )

 

They're too chicken shit to call it in that scenario and allow UF to win it at the line.

I'm sick of refs calling BS non fouls and not calling obvious mugging. . I hate reviews. Ref's egos are ruining the game.

 

We wouldn't have gone to the FT line. Offensive fouls like that are not awarded FT's even if in the bonus. The game would have gone to OT, which is what makes the refs holding their whistle dumb. It would have resulted it in going OT and letting the better team decide the result. No one would fault them for that.

 

That last play was an obvious offensive foul that should have been called.

 

He also got called for one vs Bama that was equally weak.

 

So the guy was trolling...

 

"I'd like to see a still shot of that play with the Colorado guy's arm at it's fullest extension."

 

Thanks! Wish my eyes were better.
