Here is a replay of the Reese pick

[Ruthinking]

Sorry, not the best quality but it tells the story. 3 seconds before the foul, McConnell pushed Reese and then Reese lays into McConnell with the elbow. Should have been a flagrant foul!
Watch the Reese pick here

 

[knights1212]

The play was very close and I saw it so well. I feel Reese should have definitely been tossed from the game. This shows that clearly.

 

[Scangg]

Still don't understand why they didn't review it. If they did, I'm sure they toss him on the Paul one at least. Really poor officiating not getting this kid under control

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Jeez. The elbow comes up and the pick was super late. Maybe I take back what I said earlier

Dirty play for sure, clearly he wanted payback for Caleb's push.

He did get the ball on the Mulcahy block. But the follow through was pretty violent across the body.

Watch again. Before he got ball with his left on the way to clobbering Paul he used his right hand to grab Paul’s shoulder. That was not an attempt to block the shot. It was a very dangerous play and should be addressed.

I change my vote. Reese moves to top of dirtbag list. And so does Williard for smiling after the elbow attack.

Yup. Right hand pulling him down then clubbing him with his left across the face

and Willard praised him after the game.

again.. you MUST follow from the first move McConnell made to get around an initial poorly set pick by Reese (about 5 second before the actual called foul occurred).

It was when Caleb came BACK to that same spot again... Reese didn't try to "set a pick" --- he intended to cross-check Caleb the entire time... intentionally ....

that was FLAGRENT not "common foul"....

and when you do THAT and THEN do what you did to Paul... it's intentional with malice (not this "hard basketball play" some of you keep trying to say....)

 

[Saint Puppy]

B1G should be reviewing his conduct through the whole game, and taking action since not only is MD willing to do anything - but their HC praised his play. Reese should have been tossed. Kid is a walking time bomb - can pretty much guarantee this will continue, and possibly escalate since there are essentially no repercussions for his thuggish behavior.

 

[GORU2014]

Bizarre behavior and poor leadership. Your 2022-2023 Maryland Terrapins

maybe?
after you were told multiple times you were wrong from the start?

I have been told multiple times I was wrong about Mulcahy foul not being a Flagrant 1.

 

[Scangg]

Bc you're using 1990 NBA flagrant rules. In today's world everything is a flagrant 1 with the slightest contact

When you use your off arm to pull the man down and your other arm to clothesline him in the face that is a clear flagrant 2 in today's world

When you factor in Reese play throughout the game it was just horrific referring letting Reese repeatedly get away with stuff all game long

 

[fluoxetine]

NBA

You’re really trying to trigger him… flagrant 1

 

[NorthernKnight]

Reese is a punk.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Scangg wanted a flagrant 7

Scangg wanted a flagrant 7

I want the refs to get control of the game and protect the players

When they don't, fights can happen

Agreed. Reese demonstrated Intent to hurt McConnell.
He should have been called for a Flagrant 2 and tossed from the game.

The Big Ten should review this play and Reese should be suspended for one game.

I have tickets between the benches. Reese had a smirk on his face in the greeting line and said something about McConnell....A Rutgers coach said something to Reese. McConnell was cordial in the greeting line.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

I have been told multiple times I was wrong about Mulcahy foul not being a Flagrant 1.

these things don't happen in a vacuum - that is why the first foul on the pick to McConnell was a flagrant 1 (and should have been called as such- and not simply a common foul) and the second on Paul was egregious and should have led to an ejection.

I get it.. there's a fine line between "tough" and "dirty". Certainly, over the years, we've had guys around here who we all rooted-for that probably crossed that line...

but, Pike doesn't coach to cross that line.. he just coaches "tough" but not "dirty".

Based on his history - Willard is happy to cross that line....

The problem is these stupid refs don't know when to review plays; sometimes they review for the most ridiculous things and other times they don't take advantage of the replay when they have the opportunity to stop the chippiness before it turns into something bigger. Their incompetence is staggering. Take heart, it's not just directed at us.

 

[koleszar]

Ar first I thought what's all the hullabaloo about? But, I didn't notice the elbow to the face either. That should have been reviewed.

 

[MiloTalon13]

Pike wouldn’t praise a guy after those two plays
