🏀 Virginia vs Clemson, L, 71-58, 14-15 (8-10 ACC), Saturday, 1 March 2025, 1200, ESPN/2

I don’t follow this retort. Then why do they call it on ARob all the time and way less on Cofie and BB? Same refs, same plays, different calls. To me, the obvious answer, is that ARob is doing something wrong on his screens.

This official is hot garbage. Latest whistle of all time clearly just looking to see if that fell before calling it.

So why wasn’t it a moving screen on Dylan? Poking your booty out does not count?

Why do they use Cofie and BB’s screens better? It’s on ARob.

They keep telling me free throws are free

Thank god we won’t! Unless it’s played under some sort of video game rules.

Very poor wording on my part haha

Oh it’s Ted Valentine. Now it all makes sense…

Classic TV Teddy

Cofie was trying to get the fans some bacon on Senior Day.

Yo! If you want to get into a fair call game then call all the rules tight. 11 in white is getting held all over the court on OFF.

I haven’t been watching as intensely but feel like he had a ton of moving screens earlier in the season.

He’s been our best big during the good timez. Hard to argue but I’m sure there are some other analytics that make it easier.

What about anything I’m writing suggests I don’t want Clemson called for moving screens?

My only point is we have three bigs who run the exact same play over and over in front of the same refs. One gets called for way more fouls. That one is doing something wrong. He should improve his screening technique to pick up fewer fouls, like his teammates.

I don’t know that they use those other guys’ screens better, but those other guys know they can’t move. So yeah it’s totally on ARob for moving, just saying our guys can help him out

I think more than half the team got sick during that stretch so that may have been why

I guess my point is that moving screen calls are not skill dependent but that is just my opinion. Maybe ARob just LOOKS like he fouls. IDK. Topic dropped on my end. Enjoy the game.

**Edit - and I have been watching this league a long time. Young BIGS get called for fouls. That is the way it goes.

I recall a mention of illness here and there, but I do always wonder what’s going on that we’re not privvy to.

There was one other play where ARob had a ridiculous moving screen, but didn’t get called for it, because the defender was grabbing I-Mac through the screen. The ref just ate the whistle. Yes, “everyone moves” on screens, but you have to do it the right way.

We probably have the 4th or 5th best roster in the ACC, like we thought going into the season…really obvious now. Shame they couldn’t have come together and done it in January.

Meanwhile…Clemson is solid but speaks to how weak the league is that they’re 15-2 or whatever. Could get hot and make a run in the tourney I guess, they’re good enough as long as they don’t catch a truly top team.

Rohde was absolutely robbed of an and-1.

And if they’re going to call lazy moving screens that don’t affect the play, they should also call the McKneely jersey grabs that do in fact affect the play, and “freedom of movement” — whatever that is in 2025.
