Someone stepped in early because Rodgers shoots free throws like a big-game fish getting hit by lightning.Who was the 1st half free throw lane violation on? I think it was Rodgers (shooter). Anyone know?

thanks. Seems like for Rodgers it is a rhythm thing....Yes, they called that on Rodgers stepping over (as the shooter). Was bound to happen as he does it as routine/every FT attempt. I then noticed his next FT attempt he kept himself from stepping in, and missed badly. So hopefully, it isn't a thing where he needs that forward step for whatever reason to make them.
Oh I agree. I think that's a big part of the problem- the refs simply aren't fast enough to keep up with the play and so in a lot of cases you have a ref in a bad position intuiting a foul based on body position of players. One thing that hasn't really been discussed, and I know this will drive people even crazier, but I almost think they may need to expand their crew from 3 to 4. Have 2 refs primarily responsible for running each baseline and the other 2 primarily responsible for running each sideline between the paint and then define each ref's role a lot better. Right now, it just seems that these 3 ref crews are having trouble even getting appropriate sightlines on the courtIt’s a hard game to ref. The game’s moving at 100 miles an hour. The plays you’re blowing your whistle on happen in a split second. You don’t always have a great angle.
Which is all the more reason to hire full time referees who live & breathe the game and pay them very well.
I have to imagine that correlates strongly to percentage of 3s taken for/against....any of our statistically minded folks want to look at that?And yet, we were up 10 late. We will truly be elite when we seize what we have but not turning the ball over during this time. This happened with Marquette so it is a pattern.
Also, I forget where I read about “kill shots” that measured a teams ability to go on a 10-0 run, and we ranked high in that category. But we also ranked high to give them up. We have to work on that aspect.
I believe NBA officiating is more predictable. Pick out the stars on any team and you’ll see who gets calls the journeymen never get.B1G refereeing is better and NBA refereeing is worse than they used to be.
Hope that got reported to the league, not that they'd do anythingIt’s true. The ref cussed at Brad.

I wonder if some of that is attributable to fatigue. It’s a lot easier to jack ups 3 than drive through 3 or 4 bodies, getting beat up along the way. It can’t be easier making 3 s late in the game when your legs are about gone.And yet, we were up 10 late.

Yeah, the shooter cannot break the plane of the free throw line until the ball hits something. Surprised it isn't called more on him.Anyone else notice that Ty is close to a violation every time he shoots free throws? He steps forward over the line before the ball hits the rim. I believe they called it on him once in last nights game. I've noticed all year and thought it was an obvious violation.
This win is for my big brother (74) who I lost this morning to a heart attack, the guy who initiated my passion for all things Illini. He’s the reason I went to Illinois as he was a senior when I was a freshman. There ya go, Charlie! This one’s for you!
Their strategy all night was to pack it in, then double anybody driving in, leaving us open for 3s every time down the court. They were hoping for a cold shooting night from us and got it. Fortunately, we won anyway, sign of a really good team.And this is the answer to the other poster(s) who asked why TSJ was putting up 3s instead of driving. He knew he'd get hammered and no call.
Wait so it the ball is a perfect swish, it can be waved off if that happens just before the ball hits the twine?Yeah, the shooter cannot break the plane of the free throw line until the ball hits something. Surprised it isn't called more on him.

Lol.....I'll refrain from taking the obvious peanut gallery cheap shot at this.
I will simply ask you to show your work please.

True but if Ty is handling the ball much in crunch time teams will immediately foul and hope he misses.Domask is the crunch time PG and has been all year.
I really don’t know how we could have guarded Tominaga any better. He hit so many with a guy in his face (as great players do) and one reason he got some nice layups was because we were so tight on him (and rightfully so). I really felt like TSJ had his best defensive effort in a while despite Tominaga going off. I see him going off as better offense just beating good defense IMO. Mast was getting too many open 3s with how well he can shoot it though.I agree to an extent but they also did a great job on basically everyone except Tominaga, Gary, and Mast at the 3pt line.
Completely shutdown Williams and Wilcher. The effort is there just need to clean up some things that is leading to wide open 3s.
It seems like Brad hates it but I think this roster could trap effectively in certain situations but they don't really do it. Think they could force a ton of turnovers if they trapped more along the sidelines.
NBA is a totally different animal, Big Ten officiating has never been good, worst in all the major conferences, and definitely the most inconsistent every game, both ways, but home court is worth 5 points in missed/no callsB1G refereeing is better and NBA refereeing is worse than they used to be.
B1G refs tend to let a lot of stuff go, which is why I think the conference tends to struggle in the tournament. You start getting called for things that have been let go for months, end up getting in foul trouble and playing tight.NBA is a totally different animal, Big Ten officiating has never been good, worst in all the major conferences, and definitely the most inconsistent every game, both ways, but home court is worth 5 points in missed/no calls
Maybe somewhat of late. I do think he might have been the recipient of a couple generous ones in his first game back.Am I the only one who thinks TSJ isnt getting the foul calls driving the lane like before the suspension?
