Valley tournament discussion

So, is the reason Emmenemmenemmeneker had such a great season because he spent the summer the NFLP camp? (NFLP = Nate Funk Lane Penetration)

I have always thought that in making the charge/block call that not near enough emphasis is placed on which player actually initiates the contact.

The initiating player should be held even more accountable when he dips his shoulder or uses his forearm as he moves into the defender.

Same thing goes for play on the block. Some of these guys are allowed to just pound the defender back under the basketball with no consequences.

I would like to see it change from a "was the defender's feet set" criteria to a "who initiated the contact" standard. I think this would work better with the strength and athleticism of today's athletes.

I remember a tournament game when Paul Miller had the ball down low. He took three dribbles, shot, scored, and then went to the line for "and one". With each of the three dribbles, he banged in to the defender, who was simply trying to remain vertical and stationary. On the thrd dribble, Paul shot and scored. On each dribble, the contact was exactly the same. On the shot, on the final dribble, the whistle was blown. I thought at the time that this game has certainly changed in the last 40 years.

If that is how they are going to call it, then that is how you have to play it.

I give Nate Funk and Adam M&Mnakeder credit. They figured out how to take advantage of the way officials call the charge/block and they made a living off of it.

You've been reading RoyalsCorner, haven't you? :D

In the CU-BU game, the BJs are living by the 3, having made 7 with under 8 min to go in the 1st half. They lead 28-16.

Yeah But I read the Page 2 article yesterday but for some reason the RC post made me feel like posting it.

:D

Hmmm, another rout in the works?

With 3:51 to play in the 1st, Creighton leads Bradley 36-18.

[RoyalShock]

Bradley had cut the deficit down to 3, 62-65, with just over 5 minutes to go.

[1972Shocker]

Final: #4 Cregighton 74 - #5 Bradley 70

CU vs Drake tomorrow at 1:30 PM

[Rosewood]

So if SIU beats UNI (down by 4, and horrible officiating all of 4 minutes in) we gets semi finals of the 1 2 3 and 4 seeds.

Yawn.

[Rosewood]

I hope some of you are watching this UNI vs SIU game so you can see that it isn't just bad when the shox are on the court.

[ShockerFever]

I'm watching it.

I hope UNI gets the benefit of all the calls. SIU deserves nothing from the refs after they've been protected for the last several years.

Go Panthers.
Go to hell refs.
Boo Salukis.
