Women's game - Feb 15
PostPosted:Sat Feb 15, 2020 9:42 pm
I am a long time season ticket holder in men's hoops and have been a women's hoops attender for 15 years or so. You have heard me talking about officials in all the sports. But today, I am going the other way. The officials for the women thrashing ETSU were Libya Rentz, Talisa Green, Kevin Dillard. They did the best officiating job that I can recall for a FU women's game. Kudos. Perfect? Of course not, but that is just the goal, a goal that will never be reached. They were as good as it gets in Timmons.
For the men's game, I rated the performance above average for what we see. When I saw Bruce Benedict strut onto the court, I turned to a friend and said "Ah, Bruce. 5 personal fouls in the first half, 35 in the second half." I didn't expect this to be exact and it wasn't, but the pattern always seems to hold when Bruce in in the house. As I recall, today we had 5 in the first half, 24 in the second half. Both teams were in the super bonus (10+ in a half) with just under 10 minutes to go in the second half.
The fact that Mike Woods was in attendance never helps.
