Referees fail smell test, need another clinic<\/p>\n
Is he on the line?<\/em><\/p>\n Oh. He\u2019s out of bounds there, Nick. <\/em><\/p>\n He is out of bounds.<\/em><\/p>\n And Georgetown just got robbed. <\/em><\/p>\n Those words are still ringing in my head, partly because I rewatched that sequence. Georgetown absolutely got robbed of what should have been\u2026sorry, WAS, a gutsy win against the 30th-ranked TCU<\/a> squad. Everyone knows Georgetown won that game. The refs, Jamie Dixon (more on them below), everyone. And yet, here we sit with an \u201cL\u201d on the record that serves as an embarrassing blemish for college basketball. And a team of kids who played their hearts out and deserved better. <\/p>\n As usual, I will talk about the performances below, but I am taking a page from Coach Cooley and giving everyone an A. They deserve it for an effort that should have resulted in an early program-defining win. Certainly, there are things to improve on, but aside from my comments about a few of the parties at fault, you\u2019re not getting negativity from me. I just can\u2019t muster it.<\/p>\n Supreme Cook – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 8pts, 1-3 33% FG, 6-8 FT, 5 REB, 2 TO, 32 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n Supreme got a shoutout from Jamie Dixon postgame about his physicality! However disingenuous that might have been from Dixon, he\u2019s right. Supreme was critical in this game against a big, strong, athletic TCU team. I\u2019ve been calling for him to improve his positional rebounding, and he did in this one. He was really <\/em>good boxing out a TCU team that thrives on the offensive glass. And while the Hoyas weren\u2019t great on the boards. They were good enough, and I give Supreme a lot of credit for that.<\/p>\n Dontrez Styes – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 18pts, 5-14 35% FG, 3-6 50% 3PT, 5-6 FT, 6 REB, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 0 TO, 37 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n Trez bounced back from a so-so game against Merrimack with another fantastic performance on both ends. He again managed a 0-turnover game. That is five out of eight games with no turnovers for him. Some of that is due to his role – he\u2019s not doing a ton of playmaking – but it\u2019s still very impressive. He is shooting 40% from three on the year. I continue to be impressed with his shot selection. I think that has a lot to do with his high percentage – he takes rhythm shots within the offense. And he looks really confident, knocking down open looks. He drew the matchup against Emanuel Miller when the Hoyas were in man-to-man. On the surface, it looks like he struggled as Miller scored a game-high 29 points. On second watch, I thought Trez did a decent job on him. Miller just made some contested, tough shots. Miller is a fifth-year college player who isn\u2019t quite cracking draft boards right now (Sports Illustrated has him as a potential second-round pick), but it sure looks like he has some NBA talent if he can continue to shoot a high percentage. In other words – that\u2019s a high-level matchup against a top-100 offensive player, and I think Trez played him well. <\/p>\n Wayne Bristol Jr. – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 0pts, 1 TO, 14 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n This just wasn\u2019t Wayne\u2019s best game. I\u2019ll be interested to see if he sticks in the starting lineup with both Rowan and Ish getting healthier. I think part of his impact in this one had to do with the Hoyas going to zone. I think he\u2019s a better man defender than a zone where he can get lost a bit. I mostly chalk this one up to just not being a Wayne game. I think he\u2019ll be better.<\/p>\n Jayden Epps – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 24pts, 9-14 64% FG, 1-3 33% 3PT, 5-7 FT, 4 REB, 5 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 5 TO, 36 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n \n Jayden is the best scorer we\u2019ve seen on the Hilltop in quite a while. The immediate comparison is DSR, and I think that\u2019s probably pretty close, but DSR did more in the midrange than Jayden. That could be a feature of how the game has changed, but Jayden is the ultimate Rim-and-Three player. He was excellent again. My only gripe is the turnovers. I don\u2019t expect him to eliminate those completely – the ball is in his hands, but I\u2019d like to see him limit the unforced errors.<\/p>\n Jay Heath – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 10pts, 3-6 50% FG, 3-5 60% 3PT, 1-2 FT, 2 REB, 2 AST, 1 TO, 34 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n Jay was really good in this one. Hopefully, that\u2019s a feature of him getting healthier. I still wouldn\u2019t mind having him come off the bench as a scoring punch, but he\u2019s settling into his role nicely. He has a number of \u201cno-no-yes\u201d shots, but I think we\u2019ve seen enough of those go in to give him the benefit of the doubt. He\u2019s a guy that can bail your offense out at the end of the shot clock, and the Hoyas need that. He did that a couple of times in this one, including a banked-in-three. I\u2019d like to see him get to the line more as he continues to get healthy. <\/p>\n Ismael Massoud – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 16pts, 4-13 30% FG, 4-10 40% 3PT, 4-4 FT, 10 REB, 1 AST, 3 STL, 2 BLK, 2 TO, 31 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n Ish really changes things for this team. He just allows everyone to settle into more natural roles, particularly Supreme. He\u2019s also a gamer and shotmaker. He made a couple of really big shots to bring Georgetown back in the second half. But it\u2019s the things he\u2019s doing off the ball that have really impressed me. His feel and positioning are really strong. He\u2019s not especially quick, but he makes up for it by being in the right spot both defensively and offensively. He\u2019s given them some much-needed weak side shot blocking, which I did not expect. He also has a great understanding of where his spots are and what the defense is giving him. He\u2019s just a great guy to have on the roster. In addition to raising the Hoyas\u2019 level this year, I really hope his game rubs off on some of the younger guys. A couple of guys on this roster should be watching everything he does.<\/p>\n Rowan Brumbraugh – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 2pts, 0-1 FG, 2-3 FT, 1 REB, 3 AST, 2 TO, 7 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n It definitely seems like the time missed due to illness has impacted Rowan. It\u2019s also easy to forget that Rowan is still only eight games into his collegiate career. He had a couple of really nice passes, including a great dish to Drew Fielder for a wide-open dunk. He needs to continue to focus on playing in control with pace. He\u2019s really effective in slowing the game down but needs to be able to play fast without making mistakes. That will come. <\/p>\n Drew Fielder – A<\/strong><\/p>\n 5pts, 2-2 100% FG, 1-1 100% 3PT, 0 REB, 0 TO, 8 MIN<\/strong><\/p>\n Short minutes for Drew, but I thought he was really good again. He got bodied a bit by a significantly older and stronger TCU team, but he continues to show that he processes the game at a really high level. He\u2019s a great connector. He also has shown that he can knock down shots – including a big three in this one. He just keeps getting better. <\/p>\n Other Grades<\/strong><\/p>\n Coaching – A<\/strong><\/p>\n I thought the coaching was really good in this game. Despite being ranked 30th by Kenpom, TCU hasn\u2019t played anyone in the top 200. Their average win margin was 30+. I think that can make it kind of tricky to scout a team and prepare. That said, the coaching staff had a clear plan in this one – they wanted to switch things up between man and zone to make things difficult for TCU in the half-court and try to limit the transition opportunities. They had mixed success on those things but stuck with the zone in the second half, and it paid off. They also made the call to go with the same five for the last 15 minutes, which I thought was both right and gutsy. I expected them to tire out, but I thought the staff handled it well and got them breaks. And let\u2019s just end with this: Coach Cooley\u2019s comments about the ending<\/a>. Forget about comparing his remarks to Jamie Dixon (for now). I cannot imagine a coach handling that situation better. He didn\u2019t attack the refs, who everyone knows made a game-changing error; he correctly addressed the rule that needs to be changed to allow the right call to be made; he raised up his own players. He appropriately praised TCU; I have no doubt that this will ultimately be a positive for a young Hoyas team because of the approach he took. I\u2019ve been really impressed with the coaching so far this season, and that was highlighted again today both in how the Hoyas were prepared and ultimately won this game and how they handled the outcome. And for those saying, \u201cyeah, but you have to miss that free throw.\u201d I understand the perspective, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s as much of a no-brainer as suggested. It\u2019s a bit of a toss-up for me in that situation. A lot can go wrong on that missed free throw – a loose ball foul on the rebound, a missed defensive assignment in transition, etc. On the flip side, you are able to set your defense, get someone on the inbound and force a nearly impossible shot. Sure, it\u2019s something to practice, and Coach Cooley acknowledged it in his presser, but it\u2019s not as clear of a call to me as fouling up three, and I don\u2019t hold that decision against the staff. I think they made the right one, proven by the fact that TCU was only able to get the shot off after stepping out of bounds.<\/p>\n Offense – A<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s really refreshing to see a Hoyas team with a clear identity and a game plan to maximize that identity. The Hoyas are top 25 in the nation in three-point percentage. They are in the top 100 in offensive efficiency. They are an elite shooting team, and they did a really nice job in the second half getting their shooters the ball in advantageous spots. The stretch between 15 minutes when they were down 11 and 9 minutes when they took the lead was probably the best stretch of all-around basketball we\u2019ve seen from the Hoyas in at least three years. They were phenomenal in the second half, but that stretch was really something. TCU simply could not guard them. They generated seven wide-open and, I mean, WIDE-open threes during that stretch and knocked down 4 of them. All of that came off of really well-schemed action that was executed perfectly. One of my biggest concerns about Cooley was that he would bring an out-of-date offensive scheme that can get stagnant and easy to guard (read: Flex). I am really impressed with the overall approach and the willingness of the staff to scheme to their player\u2019s strengths. They\u2019ve even adapted some of the flex action, including one really nice set that got Ish a wide-open three at the top of the key. <\/p>\n Defense – A<\/strong><\/p>\n The defense in the first half left a lot to be desired. They had a couple of completely blown coverages with no help-side defense, resulting in wide-open layups and dunks. They tried going zone in the first half and it looked rough. But credit to this team and staff because they ramped it up in the second and absolutely changed the game with their zone. During that 6 minute stretch, when they took the lead, their zone generated four turnovers and a number of really bad shots. It looked like they made a subtle change to the zone in the second half after letting TCU get to the middle and knock in a couple of open jump shots in the first half. They dropped the off-ball guard a little deeper to the free-throw line to take away that entry, which really confused TCU. Their offense in the last 10 minutes was really just having Emmanuel Miller bail them out. I also thought Cooley came out of the zone at the right time. Look, the defense wasn\u2019t great, but it was good enough to win the game, and I think there are a lot of positives to take from both scheme and execution. A final random note: TCU relies a lot on their offensive rebounding and transition game to generate offense. Georgetown did a decent job on the boards – better than I was expecting – and they did an excellent job limiting transition scoring (as much as they were able to) in the second half. TCU scored 1.111 points per possession on 9 transition opportunities in the first half. In the second half, they scored .429 PPP on seven opportunities. That\u2019s not all Georgetown, but they were much more active in transition defense, and I think they definitely made an impact.<\/p>\n Jamie Dixon – F MINUS<\/strong><\/p>\n There isn\u2019t a grade low enough for Jamie Dixon. He\u2019s always been a slimeball and showed his true sleazeball colors in this one. I encourage you to watch both Coaches\u2019 press conferences and just compare: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wnNQRIzuG1o<\/a>. Look, I actually think that\u2019s kind of a tough spot for a coach to be in. What are you supposed to say? It\u2019s not your fault, and you sure don\u2019t want to give the win back. It\u2019s kind of a lose-lose scenario. That being said, Jamie Dixon managed to somehow make a lose-lose scenario even worse. Some may disregard this as a losing fan taking sour grapes shots at the winning coach. That is not the case. I didn\u2019t think about Jamie Dixon or TCU after this one, except they were fortunate. Then Jamie Dixon opened his mouth. He managed to blame the refereeing in a game where the refereeing literally decided the game in his favor. That\u2019s not something you can say often. I kind of think Emanuel Miller\u2019s face says it all. His uncontrollable grin when these words just ooze out of Dixon\u2019s mouth seems like a reaction of disbelief and knowing. <\/p>\n Obviously, he was pushed as he caught it and was pushed out of bounds\u2026could have been a foul, wasn\u2019t a foul. Could have been out of bounds. Probably, the foul was first, and that would have settled it, but the three is better for us, so we appreciate them not calling the foul.<\/em><\/p>\n I mean, that quote is really something. It\u2019s also very much not obvious, Jamie. Were it obvious, the referee who was standing right there and looking directly at the \u201ccontact\u201d because he certainly wasn\u2019t looking at the player\u2019s feet, could have called it. I get not wanting to let the win be taken from your team, but there is a way to do this gracefully, and Jamie Dixon is so far from graceful he can\u2019t even spell it. Dixon also goes on to complain – in just the most passive-aggressive way about the physicality and missed calls by the officials, citing the free throw discrepancy while conveniently leaving out that the called fouls were actually even (18 against TCU and 15 against Georgetown). Compare his comments to Ed Cooley\u2019s. One coach is giving credit to his players, the opponent, and trying to be a leader in a difficult time, the other coach is blaming the refs. Shockingly, the one complaining is the coach whose team \u201cwon\u201d due to a game-deciding mistake by the referees. Gross, Jamie.<\/p>\n Referees\/NCAA Rules Committee – F<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/HilltopHoops_\/status\/1731696632352121273\/photo\/1<\/a><\/p>\n Not much more to say beyond this image. This is just an unbelievable failure. This isn\u2019t close. He is clearly out of bounds. The referee just flat misses this. He shouldn\u2019t have. Refs make mistakes. It\u2019s a hard job, and they are under a lot of pressure. There is absolutely no excuse for this. This mistake decided the game. This image furthrer indicts Jamie Dixon\u2019s \u201che was pushed comments.\u201d Again, he wasn\u2019t, and the referee is only<\/em> looking for contact here. He\u2019s staring directly at it. If there were a foul, I am fairly confident he would have called it. There\u2019s a pretty telling moment at the end of the game where the lead official goes to explain the call to Cooley and Dixon, and the ref who missed this call goes to look at the video. There absolutely should be accountability for missing this call. On top of all of that, how in the world can you not use review to get this call right?!?!?! Coach Cooley is right to call out that it is a failure of the rule<\/p>\n – though it is also the referee\u2019s failure – and it should be corrected. If you can\u2019t use review to correct an obvious, game-deciding error, why have review at all? What if this were a national championship game? We would just let this go, knowing that the team that won really didn\u2019t. It\u2019s so arbitrary and ridiculous I actually looked at the rule book to confirm the language. And, yes, it\u2019s pretty clear. Review can be used:<\/p>\n In the last two minutes of the second period and in the last two minutes of any extra period(s), to determine which team caused the ball to go out of bounds <\/em>but only after an out of bounds call has been made by an official. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n If anyone can explain the utility of that proviso, I would love to hear it. I get that review can be difficult to regulate. You are attempting to apply absolute clarity to situations that are not only subject to human error but oftentimes have significant shades of gray (e.g., foul calls). But this is not <\/em>that. This is a clear question – was the player out of bounds?<\/em> It\u2019s functionally the same as, did the player get the shot off in time? <\/em>The latter is reviewable regardless of the situation on the floor, but the former isn\u2019t. That is beyond arbitrary. The only solace the NCAA should take in this scenario is that it happened in a game that likely won\u2019t impact a rebuilding Georgetown team. But what if that decided a tournament birth for a Georgetown team that needed one good non-conference win? If TCU ends up on the bubble and in the tournament at the end of the year, the teams left out sure have an argument for TCU actually having a bad loss on their record that didn\u2019t count. <\/p>\n Next up<\/strong> – Juice \u2018Cuse. <\/p>\n\n \u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a> www.ITSec.vip<\/a> www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n
