Re: New bellarmine thread

There is no way that Missouri state will hire another division 2 coach. Their women's fan base was divided from day one when they hired Milleson from Drury mainly because she was a D-2 coach. Kyle Moats then made the fantastic decision to replace Nyla with Harper who was fired from her last job because she had a 23-29 record in conference play. Needless to say, Harper has been no better.

You are probably right. Instead they will hire Bald Kevin and give him $400K on top of the $9 million he was given for being a bum. That is the way most of these ADs roll.

If you are interested in seeing the foul on Coles, take a look at this photo snapped at the moment that Kimbrough crashes over the back of Coles, who had established rebound position. No way this should have been a foul on Coles. 2 of the 3 ref's were GLVC officials.

That still photo is even better than watching the video. Kimbrough went running in at full speed and ran up the back of Coles. Considering the situation, one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Its just hard to rationalize why the official made that call. It is water under the bridge, but I would like to hear an honest Findlay fan admit that was a horrible call and it cost Bellarmine the game.

No dog in the fight here, but from watching it via the live stream and subsequent replays on the stream, it did seem to be questionable. What I think the decision making for the call was is that it appeared that Kimbrough ran in and actually was able to grab the ball before he ran into the BU player, which if you decide that he has possession of the ball when the collision occurred, the BU player was not in legal defensive position so it has to be a block, not a charge. I'm not saying I necessarily agree...just that I think that's the explanation you'd get if you talked to the officials. It DID appear that the Findlay player had the ball in his arms when he collided with the BU player, though I don't know if you'd consider that to be true possession or not.

The subsequent foul on the 3 was definitely the right call.

And the other calls in the rest of the 39+ minutes?

Is that an admission? At that point, if the proper call (or even no call) is made, the game is over and Bellarmine wins. And by the way, there simply was no other call during the course of the game that was even close to that bad. That is why I am saying that it is impossible to rationalize that call, it was not even some close call on a charge or block. I think Kimbrough semi intentionally fouled, in the sense that he went flying in there and did not care if he fouled, which was a completely rational play on his part. Listen, I am whinning about the call, but all the responses I have heard to Bellarmine complaints do not address the actual call. BTW, if the shoe was on the other foot, I would freely admit that it was a bad call and it cost the other team the game. Heck, its easy to do when you won.

Why would Scotty look at any other D1 job if Crawford is right?

Someone show me a picture taken 3 seconds sooner showing #31 pushing 14 in the back and into #21. Look hard it happened.

I love Eric Crawford, but wish he would keep his mouth (or pen, or keyboard) quiet. His column is a nice example of reverse engineering. He knows Davenport is the best option for UofL, so he creates a job description that matches Davenport. There is a part of me that would like to see Scotty get the chance, but I'm hoping UofL doesn't have the courage or intelligence to take a chance on a D2 coach.

Dude, they called a foul on #21 (Coles), not #31(Chitty). So your statement is an admission that it was a bad call. There may have been minor contact from Chitty, but Kimbrough was running on a direct line full speed into Coles.

Re: New bellarmine thread

dude, the officials have never made a mistake and given the wrong player a foul? The foul was correct the offender was wrong. I just watched the highlights on YouTube, why wasn't that play included? It was definitely an important part of the game.

Re: New bellarmine thread

They called Coles for "blocking", they did not give the wrong number, the intent of the ref was to call a foul on Coles. Coles had no idea that Kimbrough was there until he crashed into Coles' back.

I do want to thank you for allowing me to vent, despite its uselessness.

Re: New bellarmine thread

As a fan of D II I would love to see Scotty get the chance. Pearl and Harper both proved they can win at the next level. I would love to see Scotty bring his offensive style to the next level as he would pick teams apart...in my opinion.

Amen. This is the one time I wish Crawford would bite his proverbial tongue.

Re: New bellarmine thread

I wasn't going to say anything else but that picture proves my point. Kimbrough is only reaching for the ball at this point and not gotten possession. He is obviously going into Coles who was stationery trying to rebound. Kimbrough was not the offensive player that required Coles to have "defensive position", it was a loose ball and Kimbrough clearly was the one on the move creating the contact. That was the worst call possible. Again, it was either a foul on Kimbrough or a no call and ball out of bounds to BU.
