[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1505255, member: 3916"] The following opinions are my own and I want to say I respect all posters opinions. as I want them to respect mine...this is a forum to share opinions and I like different opinions as that may help me in ,making my own posts... 1. regarding the officiating last night....I knew when I saw DJ bald head reffing last night that we were in an uphill struggle as he has ALWAYS been a poor ref and I think is biased against the Illini program.. The blatant elbow against Trent should have been a disqualification of the terp player as replays showed he raised his shoulder to match the level of his elbow to trent's jaw...Blatant flagrant 2 and for the announcers to say what they did was uncalled for and Dakich was more vocal in a non call than the other but it was a premeditated blow and he should have been ejected... The elbow Dre took was more violent but , IMHO, wasn't premeditated by Cowan...But the rule doesn't take into account about premeditation for a flagrant 1 foul and Dre's bell was rung and it should have been aflagrant 1...the other announcer was right that intent is not the way the rule is written , but if a player makes contact with another player's head then that is a flagrant 1.. I really am trying to understand some posters saying you can't blame the refs for last nite as I saw numerous questionable calls and especially the last one with 2.1 seconds left....DJ bald head was behind the play and only after Cowan cried did DJ bald head come in with the call...the game hinged on that play and regardless of if we made our FTs or only scored x amount of points in last etcetc, that call decided the game's outcome at that time.... Now....... Did BU make mistakes ? Undoubtedly, YES...Most successful coaches call a timeout with the ball in a tied game with the shotclock off and only 15 seconds left in the game...that is when he should have inserted Kofi back in (if not even sooner)...the play should have been to attack the basket and pass down to Kofi for a bucket or a foul at @ 7-8 secs left giving time for a rebound ..Griffin should have been in also as he is our best Off. rebounder... We lost a game we should have won against the 3rd ranked team in the poll on the road...reminds me of so many games we SHOULD have won since BU has been here..This game will sting for years for me as I really don't care for turgeon and his team at all... The last 2 games will haunt us all season and if we don't learn from these losses then another season goes down the drain and this fanbase will be more bitter as each game comes and goes.... We have to have a leader step forward , not to be a big scorer, but to be the big VOICE that leads this team to the post season...We have talent, but it isn't being used efficiently and correctly or we could be 8-1 and having a sweet ride looking forward to scUM at home.. Once again, JMHO [/QUOTE]
