Seeking6 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Can someone give me the cliff notes on the rigged talk lately? Wasn't sure where this all started. In terms of the tourney though I'm not discounting Bama or NC State at all....but I'd love to watch Hurley go Mount St Helens in a game where he watched in person what Edey either gets away with or how his games are called. Steratore came as close to anyone this past weekend when he chuckled that Edey had zero fouls with 16 minutes to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero doubt. All of the people on social media calling him Foul Ming would take him in a heartbeat. It’s honestly pretty wild the amount of hate he gets. But I just laugh at all of the lazy/bad takes people come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the frustration stems from the disparity in how the game is called with him. On one possession in the TN game, he hipchecked a TN defender at the top of the key, then discarded another to grab an offensive rebound. Two obvious fouls that weren’t called, then he got the rebound and went to the foul line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there’s no way to know that but Ant Wright on X has done a breakdown of how many fouls could’ve been called on Edey and how many he could’ve drawn. IIRC, his number was 3 and the fouls against was in the 20’s. Those weren’t what were actually called but he went through play by play and pointed out what COULD’VE been called. Does he get away with fouls? Of course. But for every foul he gets away with, the defense gets away with a multiple of that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it changes the game if he had 3 fouls called on him in a first half versus being 8 minutes into a second half with zero fouls?

Obviously it’d change the game. But if 3 fouls were called on him in a half, how many would be called on the defense. If you told me 3 were called on him but 10-15 were called on the defense, I’d say yeah that’s probably pretty accurate on what could be called if they didn’t let anything go. I remember a play from the TN game where he was backing a guy down in the post and the guy literally had two hands on him/grabbing him the whole time. And the announcers were like, they have to call this foul right?! It took the refs like 7 seconds before they finally blew the whistle.

Well of course it is.. but why do you qualify it as "the college 3-second" rule. Is the college rule different than what we all understand, in players ages form 5 - 50? Are there different rules, and that is why you specify "college 3 second rule"? He's obviously worked hard on his craft, I have to appreciate that. But he does get away with A LOT !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifting his foot that’s in the lane resets the 3-second count (if the other foot is outside the lane) which isn’t a thing in basically every other league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
