With Thorpe as the back up. Painful to watch Lars in the end of games. But great win today.LateHit said:

Question: Was it really a good call?? I too was at the other end of the court and had no idea a charge would be called. Difference between winning and losing. Anyone have a better view and can tell me if the call was right? I was sure happy it went the way it did but also surprised.UrsaMajor said:Bradley stepped in in plenty of time and took a direct charge. Brilliant defensive move.HoopDreams said:
I was at other end of court so don't know what happened on last play
I saw a block, rebound, pass, drive by tinkle, body's colliding, ball in the basket and whistle blow
I thought it was a disaster
Wha happened????
Ha ha. Very good!bearister said:
F the Beavs, I hope it was a bad call.

Absolutely the right call. Bradley was in place, squared up with his hands down. Tinkle barreled into him. Monty (who rarely praises officials) was quite definitive in his comment.JimSox said:Question: Was it really a good call??

I watched it on TV. The call was correct. Announcers were also in agreement. Fox has done wonders on defense.JimSox said:Question: Was it really a good call??

yeah, it was a good call, which was really surprising given that Larry Scott trains the Refs.....Bear8995 said:looked like a good call from replays.JimSox said:Question: Was it really a good call??

Haven't gotten to that point in the DVR yet, but generally speaking college refs call wayyyy too many charges, rewarding way too many players that run under offensive players that have already made their offensive move.JimSox said:Question: Was it really a good call??UrsaMajor said:Bradley stepped in in plenty of time and took a direct charge.

I like Monty as a commentator, but I don't really get this. Is he referring to the former Arizona Wildcat who retired from the NBA two years ago? Seems like a strange comment to make about someone who isn't playing anymore. (Nor coaching.)UrsaMajor said:.......JimSox said:Question: Was it really a good call??

btw, as usual Monty had several great zingers. mid-way in the 1st half, he was complementing Cal's defense and said, "Someone needs to tell Richard Jefferson about this; I'm not sure he's ever heard of defense." .......

There were a lot of phantom calls against Cal - Pac-12 refs apparently still reward (OSU's) seniors. I know the bad calls tend to balance out, but in this case the refs were rewarding OSU for driving and initiating contact and Cal players (Paris, South, and even Bradley) weren't getting the same calls. The free throw disparity was significant, particularly when you take into account that OSU was fouling intentionally at the end.Mike Zillion said:
I don't think Grant committed a foul at the 26 second mark.
I am so happy and yet amazed given how we looked against usf. Sorry I missed this oneUrsaMajor said:
Shhhh. Don't tell SCT, but we have double digit wins...
LateHit said:
Final great defensive stop by Brown. Just got in the way on the inbound pass and that killed the clock.
Small risk - big reward.
What I really liked was that it appeared Brown was smart enough to know the clock/game situation. Once the OSU guy fell down Joel refrained from reaching in and picking up a stupid foul that could have resulted in 2 free throws. Kept the refs from getting involved.LateHit said:

We don't know if Monty and Jefferson have any history which might prompt a comment like this. I did notice that either on the pre-game show or halftime show, Jefferson made a comment that as a player he had never cared about getting steals. My memory of him as a player was just his offense, and I can't remember if he gave full effort on defense or not.BGGB2 said:I like Monty as a commentator, but I don't really get this.

Why would you say that Kuany is not a good shooter? Based on...????
He hasn't played much but when he has it seems he can knock down a corner 3 with confidence.
Kuany, I feel, will become (not this year) a major piece for Cal in the near future.

I join you in what is probably a minority opinion. Yes, I have seen him make that shot a couple of times so it was more than "even a broken watch tells the right time twice a day" type of thing. He is also not afraid to put the ball on the court. My guess is that he hits that corner shot in practice and that Fox green lit that. If he is coached up and can get sufficient "learning minutes" next season, he could make a dent or two his last two years. IMHO he ain't no stiff (I feel the same about Lars).

Clearly, the thread's creator doesn't watch enough old TV. Beaver's friend was named Larry.Big C said:
Wait, why was this thread named after Wally Cleaver?
It was Jerry Mathers that went to Cal, not Tony Dow, btw, but what does that have to do with today's game against Oregon St.?
