Shaq and Kobe running the break was awesome, and I generally didnāt like Shaq and Kobe. Is Palinka watching Huff and questioning the need for KD? 
I donāt want to hear that comparison until Huff plays the sheriff is several terrible Adam Sandler movies
Moretti talk reminds me:
- Shoulda been Texas Techās ball. UVa wins anyway. I accept human fallibility
- Call was correct. Iām in favor of the modern surveillance state and all its dystopian consequences

I had to go with the dystopian surveillance state for no other reason than the inane commentary by one of the announcers at the time. He conceded that the replay clearly showed that Moretti was the last one to touch the ball, but that awarding the ball to Virginia violated the āspirit of the ruleā as Dre was clearly the one who caused the ball to go out of bounds.
So yes, when a guy is stripped of the ball on the way up for a layup and then fumbles the ball out of bounds, clearly the defender ācausedā the ball to go out of bounds and it should be awarded to the offense. Oh, and if a player falling out of bounds slams the ball off of an opponentās leg, he clearly caused the ball to go out of bounds.
About the dumbest hot take ever.
That play would have stopped a game in Slaughter for an easy 15 minutes of argument and maybe 30 at the Dell
Itās an edge case for sure, which is what makes it interesting. The way I split the baby is this:
- IF you do the super slo-mo replay with special Final 4 cameras and that shows that Moretti touches it last, then itās the right call.
- Also, IF your process for determining possession is to use electron microscopes and bring in special forensic analysts and have a deep dive on every out of bounds call that lasts 3 weeks, and that process determines Moretti touched it last, then itās also the right call.
- So, then, if we all acknowledge (I hope) that the forensic analysis is too far, that means we all think thereās a line of what tech we use to overturn (and probably more importantly, how much time and resource we devote to it) calls. Iād put that line before the special super-slo cameras, I guess.
Haha! Itās funny, Iāve glorified pick-up ball in my memories, the further away they get. I had mostly forgotten about this fun little part of it.
just shoot FTs for the ball and move on ha. Nah man we liked to argue!
I thought it was TTās ball BUT to go devils advocate. The Morreti made a tiny mistake when Dre poked it away by āchasingā it. Which I get in this situation. No way his mind could have reacted to the situation I guess, but just getting your hands away gives the ref no chance to overturn
I set a pick once at Slaughter which set off almost set off a brawl. Didnāt realize it wasnāt cool in pickup.
Easy choice for me. Close call in OT of the national championship game goes UVAās wayā¦GREAT CALL! If we had been on the other side of the call and lost, Iād be complaining about it on a daily basis.
Tevon was fouled in 2014.
I always enjoyed the reaction the few times someone tried to take a charge.
Generally with you on replay. I have given up largely on pro football as the replay and ludicrous rules changes had made the game unwatchable.
But the time to set the replay rules is before the season, not in the last 2 minutes of the last game of the season. UVA ball.
Well, yeah. Iām not a monster.
you were THAT guy! just kidding. funny story
Iām afraid I was THAT guyābut only onceā¦
Though Iām compelled to type that the bigger issue in the MSG MSU game was the loose whistle that MSU got for most of the game. We were a super physical team, too (Akil, Justin, Darion, Joeās a big dude, etc.), but had adjusted to a tight whistle throughout the season, but those refs let MSU be very physical.
