the Bullock foul on the 3

[PatrickRU92]

please watch that again on replay and tell me how that wasn't a 50/50 ball, and Bullock just so happens to be much bigger than the Purdue player. There was no outstretched arms, the purdue player did not establish any position either. that was absolutely critical.

 

[koleszar]

It looked like two players running into one another. It just so happened our guy was bigger and the other took a flop. They were both moving at the time. So I would expect this crew to call a foul on somebody anytime two guys moving run into one another. But that's not how it works is it. So I definitely didn't get that one. And said so at the time in the game thread.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Should have been a no call. The Purdue guys was moving and extended his arm.

It seemed like the Purdue player initiated the contact. But from where the ref was it looked like Bullock just lowered a shoulder and plowed him over. It's part of the game. I always thought that offensive fouls shouldn't warrant 2 shots during the bonus.

It wasn't an offensive foul. If it were, the basket would not have counted.

 

[Rutgers25]

It was BS...the Purdue player flopped

Foul occurred after the basket or before?

 

[80RU]

It looked from my seat that both Bullock and Sanders were fouled on three point attempts. How did that look with the benefit of the replay? I thought that for about the first 15 minutes the zebras were having an off night.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Foul occurred after the shot while the ball was in the air. That is a loose ball foul, not an offensive foul. Would have been nonshooting if not in the bonus.

After. I was at the game, but I was more focused on the shot and missed it. Usually when two guys get tangled up on plays like that it's a no call with the ref keeping an eye on them to make sure it doesn't escalate into something.

 

[hbbsm713]

Either way, Bullock knocked him over like he was a little kid lol

I thought it happened after the basket. Like after it went in. I guess it would still be two shots. The rules get a little cloudy to me.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

awful call

 

[RUJMM78]

There were some questionable calls all game but to Purdue's credit they were deadly at the foul line which was the difference between winning and losing.

 

[rufeelinit]

I did not have a problem with the call I thought bullock went through the guy to try and get in position for the rebound

 

[RUONTHERISE]

It was a foul on bullock

 

[BigEastPhil]

And the ref who made the call - the young ref - is the ref who has a vendetta against us. Every game there are several questionable calls that he makes and none towards the opposing team.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Bullock was moving into rebounding position and the Perdue guy did initiate the contact in trying to block him and he got knocked flying like in a cartoon. It was funny. I don't recall Bullock lowering his shoulder. Bad call, again.

 

[rudad02]

Same old sh%t.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Come on guys..bullocks ran over the guy, created the contact and did move into him. That's not the call to birch about. The than offensive foul was cause the guy set position after this went up.

 

[PatrickRU92]

he didnt create the contact. Watch the replay--Bullock was watching the flight of the ball and was moving towards the hoop to see if he get a rebound. The Purdue guy basically ran in front of him.

At the end of the game with the outcome in doubt that is a bullshit call every day of the week

Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall the Perdue player having established his position, and in fact he actually tried to cut off Bullock by running in front of him.

This this and this.

Glad others are noticing the same thing. I've said it about this guy all season. He kills us

I didn't notice this post and said it in that other post with Carino's tweet.

Its really bad with him.

that's the way I saw it too

It's just a no call in most cases because it really has no impact on the outcome of the possession.

Is it the same ref that called the 5th foul on the thiam charge?

 

[Sideline20]

That call was ridiculous.... I know Coach P was frosted by that call too......if it was earlier in the game I would have liked to see Coach P take a Technical Foul right there......he is going to need a T one of these games to send a message to the awful officiating we have seen at the RAC.

 

[RUinOhio]

exactly!!! the Perdue kid extended and Bullock was too much for him. BS call.

Thiam charge equally bad. kid only got position after Thiam was in the air. Think coach has been giving refs more of an earful last couple of games.

Should have been a no call. The Purdue guys was moving and extended his arm.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Purdue player extends arm to slow down Bull. Purdue player never has position. Purdue player initiated contact. Purdue player takes a flop.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall the Perdue player having established his position, and in fact he actually tried to cut off Bullock by running in front of him.

i was talking about the Thaim call with regard to position....Thiam was already in the air when the Purdue player then set his feet. That rule was changed a few years ago for this exact reason. Defender has to set BEFORE player goes into shot motion.

As for the Bullock foul, you guys would all be going crazy if it were the other way round. There was no flop there....somebody should post the replay here. I saw it several times on the broadcast....seriously hard for me to be defending the refs as they've screwed us all year. I really felt like they let us play early , be physical on the bigs, and give us a chance.

I can point out a couple we got like the add-one for Corey where Mateus(sp) never touched him.

 

[Doctor Worm]

If Bullock had the ball and was driving to the hoop, the correct call would have been a block on the Purdue player, as he clearly leaned in to Bullock's path. However, this was not a block/charge call, it was a loose ball call, and I don't know what the exact rule is. Perhaps someone can help.

I do know this - if the ref saw a foul on Bullock while the ball was in the air, he has to call it. He cannot assume the ball would go in, and say "no harm no foul".

 

[rufeelinit]

There may be other cases where we were hosed by the ref but I still did not see this as one of them. I don't see how you can watch the replay an think otherwise. He initiated the contact and just bowled the kid over while going to the basket to position for the rebound. Looked obvious on the replay. The color commentator thought the same. I was concerned they might waive off the made FG.

 

[Scarlet83]

Exactly. Its advantage/disadvantage.

What is the name of this young referee?

 

[fischy5000]

What is the name of this young referee?

These were the three who did the game:
Bo Boroski, Earl Walton and Courtney Green

Courtney green also worked the Nebraska game and it seems like people are saying it's the one they had issues with from that game.

 

[zebnatto]

I think it was one of those where the ref had to call it. The Purdue kid was in front of him and Matt wanted to press him in so that on anything but a rebound right out the rim (unlikely on a 3), the advantage would be his. A good basketball play except Matt was so strong and the other kid so weak.. In the schoolyard it’s an every possession play, and it’s a schoolyard swagger that Matt has.

People also seem surprised that Matt has skills. Whether these skills transfer to high major is a real question. But not whether or not thy’re there—not with a 6’4 kid who was First Team All State.
