UK/OSU. WTF?

Why was that not a foul on the push then a tech when the guy through the ball at him in retaliation? The lead official was just standing there watching !

It wasn't a foul on the rebound because I assume the refs didn't have a good angle to see it.

It wasn't a tech on harrellson because that isn't something that is a technical foul. You are allowed to throw the ball off another player while you go out of bounds. He did just that...only really hard.

The push was a foul by displacement. The player then turned and threw the ball with authority and struck the opponent.

Two of the easiest calls of the night that weren't made.

listen I hate KY as much as the next guy, but really? Are we supposed to call a technical on people that throw the ball off other people's feet now too? Throwing the ball of somebody is part of the game, it doesn't matter if it's feet, chest, head, or arms. How are we supposed to judge the amount of "authority" being used?

you can take the ball and hit your opponent in the face with it and there is no infraction. It is the player's responsibility to protect himself. That seemed excessive last night, but it wasn't a foul.

We watched the same game, you just don't know all the rules.

The push on the rebound should have been a foul, I agree. Like I said, maybe the refs had a bad angle.
The ball toss was totally acceptable.
