You need to re-examine how you think about basketball. 2 points with a lot of time left in the game does not change the outcome. Without that call a lot of things may have (and probably would have) gone differently in the game. Coaches get Techs on purpose in basketball to light a fire under the players asses. If it was a BS tech call like some are saying, it may have lit a fire under our players asses today. Basketball is a different animal than a game like football, where one officials call can actually change a game. If a call is made at the end of the game, then yes it is that significant, but with a lot of time left on the clock it is not.rugbdawg said:for Bama that Stans GAVE them. They cost us the game in both.

Had the tech not occured, the coaches and players would have reacted differently and called different plays as the situations changed. Swings in momentum could have caused either team to win the game by a bigger margin, or who knows. You can't say some play with 15 minutes to go cost the game, because you can't say what would've happened if it had been different.rugbdawg said:for Bama that Stans GAVE them.

Frances Drebin said:...I wasn't there, and I didn't see it, but I feel about 120% confident that if a tech was called for delay of game, there was a prior warning about it. That's the way it works. As much as it goes against the "us against the world" mentality of most State fans, refs aren't going to arbitrarily call technical fouls against MSU.
Dawgbreeze said:Funny how you said there was a prior warning,Frances. Who told you that? I listened to the game and talked to two people who were there and they didn't see it. You, Blue Balls, Extreme Dawg, Coach and a few others blame Stans for every loss. I never said he was perfect but he didn't lose this game and before you and your cohorts try and run him off, better make sure you have someone better. And yes, Blue Balls, I thought LT was a joke, and I think it has been proven he is but Stansbury has won his share and he has lost some too but this years team is a work in progress and I would hate to be a player on this team or their parents to read the crap posted on this board. You and your cohorts are 17'ing sick.
