For anyone that’s wondering about a foul on Rice? Two screen shots:

1. The tenth of a second before the shot was released:

2. The tenth of a second after the shot was released:

Not a foul.

 

Almost looks like he lost the ball on the way up

Woody seriously thinks we are still in the NBA. In the NBA, a timeout there gets you to advance the ball to half court. In college The move is to inbound the ball as far up the court as you can and then immediately call a timeout. Then you do two things

 

1) you eliminate their ability to foul because it is purely catch and shoot situation, and 

2) you increase your odds of a successful play by about a 1000%. 
 

What a coaching crapfest at the end.

Who was Ballo wanting to maim? 

One of our guys? One of their guys? Someone in the crowd? 

 

First thought was rice. But who knows maybe general frustration.

And then Gallo just heaves it up for grabs. 

Man -- this game was right there for us and we pooped our pants. 

I believe the issue is "the hump" we can never get over.

That’s a foul mins 1-39. Just not at the end. Dumb to settle for that shot.

I agree with this. Turn the corner and get to the rim. But it’s still a foul. You make contact on the elbow during the shot it’s a foul, everytime. Elbow way worse impact than hand.

Rice had zero f’ing points and played selfish at the end. F that. That’s not Indiana. Get out of here. 

I may be against the grain here, but I don’t think it was selfish at all. There were five seconds left and Rice is an athletic guard who can score and who is 85% from the line. He went after the bucket and tried to get downhill. It was really good defense.

He didn't suggest the hook and hold should be called, he and his partner were discussing how difficult it is to spot an actual hook and hold foul and that they look at the videos that are sent to them and that its very difficult to tell. You're overexaggerating the 2nd. He wasn't suggesting that Goode should've been called for anything lol you guys even watching this **** with the volume up?

“Leal got his money worth on that one. Smith gets crushed and then Goode trips over his legs and cracks him again.” 

That is what he said and it is exactly the type of unbiased announcing I expect from Robbie.

I never said that he suggested that Goode should be called for a foul. It is just one of many examples of Robbie being a homer and not seeing things objectively.

Foul or not, that was not the shot! What had he done that worked all night? He was only in the game because Leal fouled out. He has to have the self-awareness to create for someone else. It’s utter selfishness and it’s that “me-first” attitude that has loomed over Bloomington. Get it out!

I agree -- wasn't selfish. Just foolish. 

He had been on the bench for 18-plus minutes and we had hot hands in Gallo and Bako. There was plenty of time left ... and on a final possession like that, I wanna see at least one pass. Not one guy just taking the ball upcourt and launching.

I understand where you’re coming from, but he immediately sprinted wide and drove fast as he often does when he’s looking to score. He hadn’t to that point, so he shouldn’t have been allowed. That’s coaching, or lack thereof. I would have liked to have seen a true last second shot that had some play development instead of that.

Reneau and Rice are pretty much useless. Carlyle can stay on the bench for the rest of the year.

Want to play? Earn it. Need less “me” thinking at Indiana.
