Cajuns vs Jags today is huge

_ I think what their coach meant to say is that..."If everything would have been different and we had not gotten beat in most aspects of the game, we would have won."

Ronnie needs to talk to listen to Coach Mora, Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda. Bla, bla, bla.

_ If he's going to blame the refs, I would suspect he would revert back to the no call on the backcourt violation when Gary through the ball in the backcourt and Daigle tracked it down to not get the violation called at the end of the regulation. It sure looked to me like that was an apparent violation. Either way, we were on the road and gutted it out. Bureau looked like a man on a mission out there. He was playing all over the place and hustling. 20 boards? that's insane. JJ Thomas keeps reaffirming that he could very well be a special player...and I mean special. I was wondering why Mbamalu didn't play as much and Mitchell was really used sparingly throughout the game. Brown also missed quite a bit of time. I thought that the announcers made a good point about our turnovers. They mentioned guard play and the fact that we tend to have a loose handle on it a lot and that really points to Daigle after he made some poor decisions and lost the ball a few times. _

It was not a violation. There was no possession of the ball established. Gary saved the ball but never established possession with his feet on the court. Officials got it right and Arrow calmed down once it was explained to him.

I kept wondering if a Saturday night crew would have screwed that one up.

No, but they would have called a foul......LOL

Stigliano is the worst referee I have every seen, they seriously need to do something about him. I think that wistle is permantley stuck in his mouth.

Just for a point of reference on Stigliano compared to the three guys who did yesterdays game.

FPG--Stigliano 2010/11 43.4 fouls per game
FPG--Maxwell 2010/11 34.6 fouls per game
FPG--Nalili 2010/11 33.0 fouls per game
FPG--Sirmons 2010/11 35.3 fouls per game

Stigliano on average calls 8-10 fouls per game, than most refs in D-1 Basketball.

Listed above are the top 100 referee's in D-1 basketball according to Statsheet.com. There are only 6 of the 100 that call 40 or more fouls per game and none with over 41. Yet, Stigliano calls 43.4 fouls per game. He also gives out more Techs than most referee's he is almost averaging a Technical every other game at 11 techs in 30 games.

He does not give out the most fouls per game on average, but is in the top 10. And only 1.9 fouls a game off the most of the season.

Jay,do you have to have feet on the floor to establish possession? The reason i ask is because we see players jumping out of bounds and in the air call a TO and get it. I've seen many a times where a player is chasing a ball out of bounds and does not have possession by the time they've grasped the ball in air and given the T.O. Is there a standard definition of possession?

I'm not Jay, but, yes... on that particular call, you have to have your feet on the floor for it to be considered possession. I believe it was in the article about the game where the ref explained to the USA coach. The rule was changed several years ago to what it is now...that feet have to be on floor to be considered possession.

You can no longer get that time out. The rule was changed two years ago.

[CajunStros]

A bit off topic here, but wasn't it Arrow that went ape *hit last year or year before last when we won at the buzzer? Got in John Dugas' face at mid court and made an idiot out of himself becuase we didn't have a monitor? It was clear that we beat the buzzer but the coach lost his mind.

Cops had to escourt him out and if he had been anyone else, anywhere else, he would have gone to jail.

Jay there was a stretch when they absolutely killed us on the offensive boards----Pretty sure we were in the zone at the time---seems that man to man we check them off better---yall thoughts on this please!!!!

Great Rule Change!!!

Dave Odom who was the analyst last night was pretty sure it was a violation. I guess he hasn't been kept to snuff on rule changes now that he isn't coaching.

That is correct. Guy is a complete ass.

The three refs had no doubt since not one blew a whistle. A Sat game would of called for a Congressional hearing, 20 minutes at the monitor and then the wrong call.
