Concerning the foul at the end of the Iowa UConn game last night

I saw a foul. Don’t ask me if the ref should have swallowed her whistle.
It was a foul, plain and simple and yes it should have been called at that point in the game. I saw someone on TV saying that it didn’t directly impact the play, so it shouldn’t have been called. Taking out a defender to give your best player an open shot is directly impacting the play.
That's a text book moving screen. Has to be called.
It was a foul. Refs should never swallow their whistles.
“Yet I will take the time to read the comments from others about it while adding my comment!”
I take back what I said about girls sports , that game was excellent. Ending that way sucked and the pick had no bearing on the play. A travesty
A foul in the first minute of the game should also be a foul in the last few seconds of the game. I’ll take Rebecca Lobo’s view of the play over yours. By the way, how big of a lead did UConn blow?
Regardless of my rooting interest, I try to be as objective as I can when it comes to officiating. Here, I would not have made the call, but I have no problem that it was made. That said, overall, I think the officiating favored Iowa and the officials knew more people would watch the Championship if Clark were in it. I will add my belief that if it was Iowa trying to take the last shot that foul would not have been called.
Yep that must be it. Game rigged so Iowa wins. UConn blowing a lead had nothing to do with the outcome. Geez.
I watched both games last night. For what it’s worth (nothing), nc state-cocks looked a lot like girl’s basketball ( 
) several times throughout the game. Airballs, layups hitting the bottom of the rim, sh|t ball. By contrast, uconn-iowa looked like basketball. Better shooting, great passes, quality play.

I am not suggesting that any of the officials went into the game with the intent to give it to Iowa. What I am suggesting is human nature. As the old saying goes, "The Supreme Court reads the election returns ". If you think officials are never influenced by outside interests, most often indirectly, then I am the one that is laughing.
If it is a foul at the beginning of the game, it is a foul at the end of the game.
Agreed. I think most coaches are seeking consistency throughout a contest. If so, there shouldn't be any doubt how a play will be called at crunch time.
And that’s always my problem with officiating. Just be consistent, players will adjust.
Wait! This discussion is about girl's basketball? Basketball is soft enough with 'men'...girl basketball? LMAO!
Supposedly, once the screeners legs go wider than her hips/shoulders, it's technically illegal.(Referees came and explained that to my Daughters team before the season this year) Plus, she was moving. Slow motion leaves no doubt that she was moving. But, a tough call for sure. No tougher that Caitlyn dropping her shoulder in the lane and creating space for a 12 foot jumper. A big no call. Either way, Alyah Edwards needed to recognize that her girl left her to jump Paige on the pass. If she slipt that screen, she had at least an open foul line jumper if not a lay up. A great game to watch. Any basketball fan should have enjoyed it. Without crazy heroics,(Hello Caitlyn) I'm not sure either of these teams have the depth and size inside to stay with South Carolina.
That’s the first women’s game in any sport I ever watched wire to wire. The most surprising thing about girls hoops to me is how much difficulty they had, both teams, finishing at the basket. Some of that schit they were throwing up would get you banned from a pick up game
Didn't get the results they wanted, so they whine. Who cares. Go Caitlin! (Granddaughter's name)
The UConn players and coach were consistently saying that the call wasn’t the reason they lost the game.
