re: What happened during UCONN IOWA?

Because literally no one would care if it wasn’t called because similar screens were probably set all game without a whistle

The correct answer is to call the other illegal screens as fouls.

Would people be ok with a game winning shot being completely facilitated by a player tackling the shooter’s defender? No. That is effectively what happened, but people are either just completely biased for wanting a specific team to win.

Also UCONN knows the play was illegal. So they took the chance the ref would choose not to call it and that was their choice. They can not be mad because the correct call was made. They could have either excited the play correctly or ran a different play to get the shot they wanted.

It is like when football offense run a run play and they get caught for an illegal pick play. The offense knows there is a risk they could screw it up, but they do it anyways.
