Shooter has the right to complete his full shooting motion. The defender jumped into his area. You can’t legitimately believe a defender can make contact by jumping into a shooter.

You mean the one where Kevin Durant jumped into Andre Iguodala and didn’t give him a place to land?

Thought LeBron 2012-13 was absolute peak modern NBA basketball. Twas wrong.

He was blocking his run, which failed. Then he got bumped and almost caused the big one.

You’re allowed to have six players on the ice (barring penalties, of course). Generally that includes one goalie, because duh. But if a team is down by a goal (or two) near the end of a game, they’ll sometimes pull the goalie and put in an extra player who can play offense with the hope off overwhelming the other team…

There was more effort on defense here than there is in an entire NBA season

The ref gave a foul against the Leverkusen player for pushing the Dortmund player, which was the correct decision

A foul was called but against Leverkusen (correctly), and that sent them into a tizzy.

The coach is disputing a foul on the field. The official gave the captain an explanation during a deadball situation. The official is not obligated to go to the coaching staff and repeat himself based on the bad behavior of the manager.

I think the ref, did the right thing. There was no foul, on the other end. Not getting into a MLB type shouting match, but remaining calm and issuing his ruling for the mgr to be sent off. Only quibble I have, is that I did not see the red card being issued to the mgr or bench.

Yeah, poor response and ignorant of officiating. The protocol is that referees should never address or be addressed by team officials. They should address the captain who should relay the information.

How’s that? The head official is obligated to talk to the captain who is the delegate of the manager on the field. If the captain can’t convey the explanation (or the manager won’t accept it), then what’s the head official supposed to do? Just accept the manager having a huff? I applaud the officials, here. Players,…

I hate sounding like a broken record but duke has finally been producing decent NBA talent. Jalil okafor, justise Winslow and mason plumler are decent players

See? This is what happens when you divert money from athletics to unnecessary programs like music and art!

I like to stay up at night and drink and use bitcoins to bet on weird shit (like Russian hockey), so I tried to learn about cricket because there were always a few games going on.

I’ve heard that helmets are hard because they glance off each other better. Soft helmets supposedly put more torsion on the neck when tackling head on.

I'll give you a moment to think about what having no forward pass and laterals extending the play does to incentivize certain types of strategy. In fact, I'll give you more than a moment. You'll probably need the time.

It wasn’t close to a catch by the NFL’s standards. My friends immediately agreed that they wouldn’t call that a catch because the ball was clearly moving.
