So what do you call taking a hand off the ball and hitting a guy in the nuts? A mistake, an accident?
BTN: "I do think that's a basketball move."
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
i'm sorry that was clearly a flagrant 2. I don't even know what the debate is about here.
It was right in front of us and I was losing my mind when it didn’t get called. My dad, who knows the official (the nephew of a very good family friend), is getting mad at me. I'm telling him "dad, it was intentional..."....then they went over to the table...thank God! It was clear as day and 100% INTENTIONALLY CHEAP SHOT. Completely uncalled for; he got what he deserved. Dad apologized lol!
Correct.
Correct. Saw it all live 10-feet away.
You have control over your arms. They need to change that rule. You hit someone in the head or nuts with force it should be a foul. In hockey most of the sticks to the face are a hockey move, but it’s still a foul.
"Son, are you on drugs?" He LITERALLY hit him in the nuts, intentionally, and did so by taking his hand off the ball to accomplish it!! Kid should be suspended if you ask me there's NO place for that in the game. NONE.
I think what he actually said was, “That’s a basket of balls move.”
No argument here.
No argument here.
If you just saw the replay from behind, I could see you thinking it wasn’t that bad, but there was a replay from the front and he clearly took his one hand off the ball, cradled the ball in the other arm and swung his elbow directly in JDs groin.
Now....alll that being said....I'm convinced we must be the biggest shit-talking team, on the floor, in the nation lol! Dudes LOVVVVE hitting us in the nads and it takes A LOT of frustration to make that move!
It wasn't worthy of tossing the kid F1 . Edey does it 5 times a game just st 2 feet higher.
Yeah I know. We good.
While the guy is being an ass about it I agreed with him based on what I could see on tv (didn’t look like a purposeful/ malicious nut shot to me )
But now - after seeing a few comments from people who saw it up close at the game - they say it was very obviously on purpose - I’ll take their word for it
Just my two cents but I was shocked it was a F2. I thought they were trying to decide foul vs. F1.
He didn't purposely aim for his nuts. He wouldn't have reacted so fast to his move. He was simply trying to clear out and made bad contact.
Purposely trying to do something is what our big guy did. Geez..
Yeah he stomped on the kids ankle. Dumb play. Granted he was tripped right before that but there’s no excuse for what he did
No kidding. But all 10 replays I say sure looked like he had was trying to Clear out. Not purposely aim to the nuts. You guys are over the top.

yes, but it wasn’t a blocking foul. Ref called him for tripping after he got knocked on his ass. Ref gave a sweeping movement with his foot to indicate that. In actuality the NW player fell over Williams after he knocked him down. So in a way, Williams got called for being in the way while lying on the floor.
It really looked like he was flailing, trying to knock him away from him.
That call was absurd. Not unlike the calls RU players have received over the years for having their chins foul the opposing players on the elbow.
My wife and I both thought he was somewhat trying to get up and get his footing. But if we're going to argue intent.. intentionally stopping a guys ankle is just as bad as intentionally elbowing nuts.
Both F1 . You can't have it both ways. Two nuts equals one ankle in basketball.
I mean that’s what it looked like to me on tv
But a few here say they sit close and had a clear view said it was obvious that he cradled the ball in one arm SO that he could hit Davis in the 🥜
Whatever. NW got calls (or lack thereof) all game and we still won. We arguably got the benefit of that one
If it was a basketball move it's wouldn't be a F2
Any intentional elbow that hits someone in the balls should be a F2. Doesn't matter if he was aiming for the balls or not. His intent was to throw the elbow and you're responsible for where it lands

It was an extraordinarily good defensive possession by RU and then to have that happen…
Ryan Langborg was not the only player going NUTS tonight. Caitlin Clark went nuts for 49 points, 😆😆😆

One could argue the Langborg ejection didn't hurt Northwestern too much if that was the only reason Mullins got so much time. Eight points, four blocks including some that definitely saved buckets. Game of his life!
anyone else notice Buie elbowing Hyatt in the face ? (no call). It wasn't accidental. he was trying to keep Hyatt away from the ball
Anyone catch Buie forearm Hyatt in the face when diving for a ball?
You are NUTS !
When you want to clear out to make space you extend an arm and push off. That's not what he did. It was a STRIKE with his elbow, not a push off.

Was at the game tonight, and it certainly seems that at least 3 guys on Northwestern kept pushing off with the ball in there hands all night and not once was it called. Did I miss something from the guys who saw this on TV? Seemed crazy.
