Hows this for a bad call?


Recommended Posts

I didnt look at the video so not sure if there is anything of substance to it or not.  I am wondering, though, if the young man's behavior in the rest of the game, might have impacted the decision to eject him?  I still believe that the taunting is ultimately counter productive.

I don't care if he talked about that refs mother! What he did was in NO WAY deserving of a technical foul...That is just ridiculous, and if they allow this ref to do it, shame on them too! Pitiful... >:(

I usually side against the officials, but from this story there is not enough information to know what happened.  You cant watch a 30 second clip and understand the atmosphere for the 2 hour period.  It reminds me of the Republican candidate race and some of them showing a TV ad making the other candidate appear in a negative way when it is only a half-truth.
So I dont know if it was a good call or not, not enough info, but that is what yahoo and the media like to do, is get people "stirred" up.

If you can't see that the kid did NOTHING wrong, you just cannot see! He dunked, looked in HIS DIRECTION and was heading up the floor....What the kid can't LOOK at his DIRECTION now? TERRIBLE CALL ON THAT KID.

Not knowing anything about the flow and the attitude of the game, I say we need this ref in our area.  I saw too many times this year: STARE-DOWNS, throat slashes, spoon feeding?, etc.  There is no place in SPORTS for this type of showboating or taunting.  Hold kids accountable!!!!

Being a ref for the last 12 yrs, I can say the short clip doesn't show enough to determine a bad call. I'm the type, if it's a bad call, I'll tell you it is, whether it's ref's in my own chapter or elsewhere, I won't sugar coat it or make excuses for them. But this does not show if the player was previously warned in his actions or if he mouthed something that not everyone could hear! There's lots of facts not known to determine what the ref saw during the game to warrant this 'T'

Dickie, I didnt say it was a good call or a bad call.  From the looks of it, yes it looks like a bad call.  But, being a conservative and having watched and know how the liberal media work, I can think past a 30 second clip with my own mind and see that there may not be enough information to make a conclusion.

[/quote]So the ref has the authority to say, "Dude, if you even LOOK AT HIM one more time, I'm teching you"?  If you are going to affect the outcome of the state championship, shouldn't it be on something more concrete than this?

    • Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.
    • It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.       
    • I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).
    • Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.  
    • @CardinalBacker   Wanted to get your thoughts on how Cohen did as Bragg's star witness..... My Take: The State spent two days acknowledging that Cohen lied all the time but now he has come clean,,,,,,,it took the defense (having same evidence state had), just a few hours to confirm Cohen lied to the current jury a couple days ago......  While I thought initially Trump would be found guilty due to venue, with best case a hung jury, there is now a pretty good chance he will be acquitted......
