The hell is "the cylinder" if that cat wasn't in it?

Starting a thread so this doesn't get forgotten or lost after this win. Look at that replay. feet interlocked, head over the back shoulder, but on review with 2 officials and the ability to FREEZE TIME they determine that the cat wasn't in Vescovi's cylinder? Draw me a diagram how that [uck fay]ing works. I want an answer from the NCAA and SEC. THE [uck fay] ARE THE RULES?

Don't let this stuff just get forgotten or ignored. It was a bail out and it is bullshit.

 

I've never heard about this cylinder before today, but if it exists, having your [uck fay]ing face over a players foot would seem to indicate you were in it.

 

My biggest gripe is he was mauled before it even got to that.

 

That call would have gone up there with Jabar Gaffeny “catching” a game winning touchdown against us had we somehow ended up losing. Nevermind the fact Santi was fouled twice before committing the “charge”

 

Rule 4, Section 39, Article 1c. The space that a player may legally occupy is defined by an imaginary cylinder surrounding the player and which extends from the floor to as far above the player as he can jump or extend his arms and body. The diameter of the cylinder shall not extend beyond the hands/arms on the front (the arms bent at the elbow), the buttocks on the back and the legs on the sides. These dimensions may vary according to the height and size of the player.

Rule 4, Section 39, Article 1k. The offensive player must be allowed enough space to make a normal basketball play. The defense may not invade the vertical space of the offense and make illegal contact when the offensive player is attempting a normal basketball play. A normal basketball play in this context includes shooting, passing, dribbling or pivoting.

 

So pivoting into the defender was clearly a foul according to these refs.

 

There are 3-4 teams in the country that get that kind of call. We were playing one of them today. Thank god we’re a significantly better team.

 

[uck fay] Kentucky AND the refs they rode in on.

 

The ref from mid court came and and signaled foul the other way after Adams made the offensive foul call. He was shocked it was so bad that he tried to override him before it stuck.

 

Santi has become quite a rebounder

 

Teach them to lay their cheek on the on the back shoulder blade of the ball handler, and they have become the best [uck fay]ing defender in the whole world.

 

More important question is how in the hell is Pat Adams still a ref?

 

It was a damn war crime, Card.

 

Maybe he'll just quit since he couldn't change the outcome of the game.

 

He only gets paid if they win. You know what they say ... "horseshoes and handgrenades".

 

His call last night late in the game where he completely missed to UK guy stepping out of bounds with the ball was as Pat Adams as you can get.

 

Funny thing is Cats fans hate him as much as we do.

I don't think he's good enough to be biased.

 

That is exactly what I said to my mother when she called after the game. They hate him too, and he is so bad that even if he does have a bias it wouldn't matter.

 

I know Jack shit about basketball and really don't care for the sport. But even I know that call was a complete bullshit call.

 

Kentucky fans online are melting about the whistle today as if they didn't call twice as many fouls on us overall. Love it.
