Why not have a horn or beep when the clock hits 20 if not across the 10 second line? Just like the shot clock. Takes one more thing off the plate of the official.

KW did get shoved out of bounds Wisky player did initiate contact with Mirk. 10 sec missed big time. All the other calls are good with me. I apologize for getting involved with the referee discussion but it a tiresome excuse for our guys losing. I may have been brought up in a different era. I never played for a coach on any level that would let you blame the refs for a loss. Especially in a one possession game.

It always has and always will
When this sort of thing happens with the consistency that it has over the last 30 years, it is impossible to label it anything other than by design. I will shout this from the mountain top until it changes. My expectation, however, is that it will not. That is, unless AD's and coaches start having the courage to take a stand for what is right. Up to this point, they have not.
Yeah, really not understanding this argument. If he were a sub70 FT shooter, I'm all for it. But he's got one of the best percentages in the country.
The goal should be to NOT foul a guy like that. He went 12/13 against us and I'd rather have that than 19/20 or even 18/20. You're handing out FREE points for.... no reason?
We're literally trying to claim the game plan should be to make an effort at putting a 90% FT shooter at the foul line? Willingly?

I could be wrong, but I think the point was that it takes just one or two of these types of fouls early on to have the intended effect; not to continue to do it throughout the entire game.

If we wanna deliberately foul Michigan State, Coen Carr or Cam Ward would be the guy.
Not Fears lol -- he's literally 89.9%.

Not gonna lie, that’s genuinely hysterical.
You’re good with this being a jump ball and wiping off 2 points?
You’re also okay with this being a foul on our All American point guard?
I think people want to just hurt fears not foul him
For sure Clean block and I don't believe it was all ball as claimed. Are saying because he is our All American it isn't a foul? However my point was these calls didn't cost our team the game.

Can’t do one without the other.
The second is a jump ball.
I suspect it takes a truly elite team to injure someone without fouling.

F that make it a flagrant F2 to open the game. Start Lee and tell him to drive him into the cheap seats
remember, not a technical. the hip must come OUT of the socket to be a technical.

I lived at Bash Court 1982-83. So poorly constructed the curtains on my bedroom window would blow around even with the window closed. Lived on 4th floor. Friends were just below us on 3rd floor. We had a party and started running low on beer, went down to our friends unit to get the stored spare keg while everyone was dancing in our apartment and I could have swore the ceiling of their apartment was gonna collapse as I saw it moving up and down. Sorry for the digression. When we attended Illini games, they were almost always accompanied by a boisterous and loud crowd.
Touche. At the time, that was the only high school recruit of Brad’s time at Illinois to be a first round draft pick. As of today, it’s still 50%.
Petro is now the second pro to not get PT, he was just a pro before getting here. I know two isn’t really a trend either.
The hand to the back in the first gif is an automatic call. And that call on Keaton was heinous.
Neither one of them play defense. You won’t play for Brad. Podz was so fought for he chose Santa Clara. Feasted on lower tier defenders, and still never played defense. Still doesn’t in the pros.
Petro is lost on the defensive end and misses layups. Not sure about the Pro league he played in but, they must have had no PGs. When he leaves after this year he might go to Santa Clara and still not play defense.
Negative, Brads never resposible for failing adapt in games or trusting good players on his bench. Often, players that have proven themselves prior or after leaving. Even to the point of being a first round lottery pick the following year or starting for a power 5 school. But here guys that never will get a minute of tick as a pro started ahead of those that will and have. Our fan base at time drinks so.much kool aid. We had a first round pick and others behind DaMonte and you guys act like Brads beyond accountable for being foolish. Dude makes millions n its a joke. He 8s an amazing recruiter and has a great staff. But damn!
