It was absolute pandemonium in Lawrence last night. The purest form of chaos available.
And it was beautiful.

I still can't believe that up three with ten seconds left they didn't foul ... you always foul in that situation!

Pretty agressive game. I can't count the number of times Memphis players were charged, and no call was made.
Yet and still.... when you are up by three points, and you have ten seconds to go...in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, you don't allow them to make the three point shot. You foul them!!!!! ARRRRGH.

Yeah, well there were two no-call technicals on Dorsey and CDR that were abominations of officiation. Both of those should have been called no question. So sour grapes or not about no-calls, they all washed out in the end.

Didn't see Dorsey's (got to watch most of the game but not all) but did see CDR's slamming the ball down shortly before the end of regulation that the announcers kept praising as a really good no call because he was upset at himself and not the officials... I thought that rule was pretty straightforward: slam the ball down at the floor, let it bounce way up without stopping it = automatic technical, regardless of reason. Just like a coach can't come out onto the floor even if he's angry at his player instead of the ref, its a tech either way. Doesn't matter, though, as it didn't affect the final outcome.

No way should that have been a technical after the ball slamming. It was just frustration at himself, and nothing else. You shouldn't let referees decide the game, and they didn't last night. The players decided it, as it should be.
Calling technicals would have been almost as foolish as the Game 5 suspensions last year for Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw.

I disagree. The rules are what they are. The rules don't contemplate motive and should be objectively enforced. Dorsey should have been T-ed for delay of game and CDR should not have violated the rule regarding player behavior. A tech should have been called.
The players would still have decided the game because it would have been the players violating the rules.
For every "no-call" complaint by Memphis there are equal no calls for Kansas. Bottom Line: Kansas was just a little bit better than Memphis and that's all it took.

Slamming the ball had absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. Nothing.
The players would still have decided the game because it would have been the players violating the rules.
That sounds like you believe in the letter of the law over its spirit, which should always, always, always be paramount.

Gotta say, thought it was a good time to not follow the letter of the law. You let the players, not the rulebook, decide things, especially in championship games. If the play of the game is not really effected, then don't call it, IMO.

There was nothing malicious about slamming the ball in that case. It wasn't in reaction to a referee's call, or anything like that. That would have been worth a quick T. But it happened after the play, at no one other than himself, and didn't affect anything in the game itself. A "victimless" crime, so to speak.

So LSU's hire of Johnson makes sense. It's a great move but the timing is all weird to me for some reason. I bet Stanford is a little peeved that Monty went to Cal recently when they might have gotten him back after a short hiatus.
Of course, Self stayed where he needs to be: at KU. Though I am sure it was hard to say no to the Alma Mater, KU is in a completely higher echelon of college hoops. OSU would not have been a lateral move at all for Self. I am very happy he is where he is.

Yeah, I was going to say that I wouldn't have had a problem with Self jumping, because it was his alma mater, but that as long as Kansas was offering half of what OSU did, he should stay because there is a huge difference between the two.
Also, is there anybody in the country surprised by OJ Mayo declaring for the draft? I thought he declared for the '08 draft the same day he announced he was going to SoCal.
