Okay, moving screen or not? The basketball universe seems to be blowing up over the moving screen call that gave the ball back to Iowa with less than four seconds left. Essentially what I’m seeing is UConn fans and everyone who hates Kaitlin Clark say it wasn’t a foul and “they just want Iowa to win.” Basketball fans generally with no horse in the race say it was a foul and should have been called. Then there’s the crowd that says “It’s a foul but you can’t call it in that spot.”
To that last point I say nonsense. A foul is a foul regardless of when it happens. To me it was a clear moving screen and appropriately called by the official. For what it’s worth though, I thought Clark should have been called for an offensive foul a few moments earlier but instead she ended up getting a big basket. Just curious about the board’s opinion on what went down. I thought Paige Bueckers showed total class when asked about it in the post-game interview. She basically said they shouldn’t have let it come down to that and that she should have done more because a game isn’t decided on one play.

Well, Bronny is a star -- perhaps more Hollywood than hardwood at this point, but, regardless. That would be a massive amount of publicity for Duquesne.
I was trying to think back to the last 'star' Duquesne landed. I think it goes all the way back to Tommy Pipkins - in the mid-90s. Pipkins dominated the WPIAL out of Valley High School, and picked the Dukes (some say oddly) over offers from nearly every major program in the country (North Carolina, etc.).

Some have characterized him as Lebron's best friend. Dambrot was Lebron's high school coach.

There is some buzz.
I guess LeBron is tight with the new HC.

Some of these individuals are - now - making significant dollars to play their sport. Some are the face of brands through social media influencing. You want all that glitz and glam? Face the music when you need to speak to the media. The nature of what exists in collegiate athletics now is exactly what many of these athletes wanted. They said they were professionals. Whoever protects them in the postgame media availability should step away.
Jim Boeheim always had it right. He opened up the entire locker room as soon as he was done addressing his team. He said if players wanted to play in the NBA, then they needed to experience and learn to deal with the media. He wasn't locking the door and coddling them.Last edited by IUP24; 04-02-2024, 03:24 PM.

She’s a great athlete and also happens to be a young, attractive black woman. I’ll never understand what she goes through especially in this day and age where she is so accessible to ignorant idiots on social media. But she brought the whole Caitlin Clark situation on herself and has never stopped playing the victim about it. Clark took the high road and if Reese had done the same it would’ve been a non issue after a few days.

It’s a shame she’s had a tough run of things over the last year and a lot of it isn’t deserved, but she also hasn’t done herself any favors either. Losing last night may have been the best thing for her. She can focus on the WNBA and start rebuilding her image. One thing is for sure. She’s a damned good basketball player.

If you'd have told me a month ago they'd still be playing I'd have fell over laughing.
