Maybe it's because I've started watching games at levels lower than I'm used to, but does anyone else feel like there have been a lot more lane violations than normal this year? Depending on the offender and the result of the free throw there isn't always a whistle, but I feel like I'm seeing a lot more officials' arms going up while dudes lose their balance, flap their arms awkwardly and stumble into the lane before the shot goes up.

 

Reminds me of my days as a tall, scrawny teenager when we had to wait until the ball hit the rim before we could enter the lane. I picked up a handful of lane violations because of that stupid rule.

Man, Oregon was getting a lot of help early in the 2nd when it looked like Utah was going to pull away. I've never seen so many fouls when the defender was standing still with their arms straight up.

Fouls are ridiculous anymore. What i cant stand is when a post player goes straight up and the offensive players dips his shoulder and makes contact to the defenders gut. I am no genius but if i have my hands up and someone makes contact to my gut, my hands with come down a little. Its a reaction. I dont understand how/why a foul is called every time.

I don't know why but anytime I see Auburn playing all I can think of how s***** it is that Bruce Pearl is coaching at any level of basketball. I don't feel this strong about any of the other big cheaters, something about him just rubs me the wrong way

He honks me off because years ago, when he was at Iowa, he ratted out Illinois and got them in trouble. Not that I have a problem with Illinois getting in trouble -- because they cheated and deserved it -- but if you're gonna do something that, you'd better damn well be squeaky clean yourself. And clearly, he wasn't/isn't.
