Yeah, I just finished watching the game (bowl in a league), and in that first half, especially, I kept thinking for such a big and strong guy he sure spends a lot of time on his back….followed by a inappropriate mom joke.
I could not believe that the refs called that incidental, at a minimum it was a hook & hold by their own definition.
From The Book of Knowledge: “The “hook and hold” rule is a new rule change instituted by the NCAA that bans players from clamping an arm onto another player’s arm and restricting freedom of movement during a rebound.
All I have to say is that Utah’s in-game coaching is nothing short of pathetic. You get a rebound with a timeout and 9 seconds left and the best you can do is a long three pointer by a bad 3PT shooter? Utah is never going to do anything or go anywhere with Smith at the helm. The guy’s just lost the plot.
