[QUOTE="Illini Parent14, post: 1353578, member: 628054"] You are correct about the zero subjectivity, but I believe that waiving off the clearly signaled offensive foul call, after viewing a replay to determine if the identical action which was called an offensive foul (player possession foul) also warranted a flagrant foul call, is the most egregious call of the game. Throughout the NCAA Tournament last year, there were countless times where replays were viewed and the original call was obviously wrong, but, because the original call could not be overturned, nothing was reversed. The final second of the Championship game was a prime example. Each time, the announcers carefully explained that the original call could not be changed. Did something change between last year and this year? The non-goal-tending/phantom-Finke-foul call was a complicated hot mess, but the offensive-foul-waive-off was very clearly contrary to the current rules regarding replay. I fail to understand why Underwood was so calm and accepting of the explanation he received. Not a fan of coach theatrics, but that was the situation where an emotional blow-up and a coach's technical foul was warranted to shake the Illini and the refs out of their torpor. [/QUOTE]
