I added it after you replied - his hand gets in the net. My understanding is that’s a goaltend.

(a) touching the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on the rim of the basket,
The ball was never "on the rim"(a) touching the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on the rim of the basket,
Thats a goaltending then, IMO.
Touching the side of the rim is not " on the rim".The ball was never "on the rim"
I’m no ref so I’ll take your word for it.Touching the side of the rim is not " on the rim".
I am not 100 percent sure, but I don't think it can be goaltending until the ball has left the shooting players hand.I’m repeating myself for the third time but I’m pretty sure by rule it should have been a goaltending - can somebody @Jayrod maybe speak to that?
ETA - because Suggs had gets in to the net with the UCLA still somewhat attempting to shoot
Agreed and I'm great with his style of play. Tough defense and although they are not run and gun he lets his team play freely on offense. If they get the shot - take it. You know what style of play I'm not good with? Ohio State. They played the worst matador defense I've ever seen in their loss. I would not be OK with that as a fan. There is no excuse for playing half hearted defense and that's all coaching.He's done pretty well so far. He's got a 4-star and a 5-star coming next year, and I imagine he'll get a good player or two from the transfer portal. For 2022, he already has a commitment from a 5-star guard from Sierra Canyon HS. As long as he goes after high level players who want to play for him and are willing to be coached, he should be very successful at UCLA.
Technically an offensive player and a defensive player can be called for Basket interference. By the letter of the law, they both touched the net or rim while the ball was momentarily against the rim.
It looks like Suggs rubbed elbows with him only after control of the ball was lost. I am not sure if that constitutes a foul.Just seen the block by Suggs again. Man that is so close. I feel like he got the ball and then as the UCLA player loses the ball from the block that Suggs gets him on his follow through slighty. I feel like either call could have been made there and you can't argue it. In slow motion it is really difficult to determine if it was a foul. In regular speed no chance.
I also noticed that right after Suggs made the pass for the dunk when UCLA had the ball coming back on offense that the UCLA coach wasn't arguing the no foul call. I think he would have been more upset if it was obvious and he had a great view.
The bolded is one key way I think Cronin differs from Ben Howland, who wanted to manage every second of the game he could. Howland was great at teaching his players the fundamentals and getting them to play the way he wanted, but he was a very inflexible coach when it came to in-game strategy. That rigidity became his undoing as he began recruiting players who wanted more freedom. Cronin seems to be better at in-game strategy as well as being flexible enough to let players play at the offensive end so long as the earn it at the defensive end. I'm looking forward to the next few years of UCLA basketball.Agreed and I'm great with his style of play. Tough defense and although they are not run and gun he lets his team play freely on offense.

This run should make UCLA (as well as the rest of the PAC12) a desired place to play basketball for top recruits.
There were less than 2 seconds when Brink committed to the triple team. If Aari could have made the pass, they may win, but Jones is also sagging for secondary help. Getting that pass there would have been risky as the 5'7 McDonald would have had to pass it over the 6'4 (plays like she's 6'6-7 because of her length) Brink. I was pulling for Stanford and I wanted her to give it up. The look they got was probably better than the alternative.That woman's final was nuts. I know she was their best option at the end, but 3 girls were all over her and she still hucked it up even though a few of her teammates had NO ONE guarding them.
I dont see how Juzang doesnt leave after that tourney.For you guys who pay more attention, I went and looked after the game and it appears none of the UCLA players are seniors....
Do you guys know if any of them are leaving? They should be a helluva squad next year with another year of development and a deep tourney run on their resume.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. That’s unfortunate. (For us and UCLA)I dont see how Juzang doesnt leave after that tourney.
The guy they expected to be their leading scorer was a senior Chris Smith and he got hurt early in the season. In theory, he could come back next year if Juzang goes pro and take back the scoring role, but I have no idea if he plans to.For you guys who pay more attention, I went and looked after the game and it appears none of the UCLA players are seniors....

I think his stock can only go down, but the prayerful thinking out here is that while he shines on offense he could use another year to shore up his defense. Personally I think he is headed to the draftYeah, I guess you’re right. That’s unfortunate. (For us and UCLA)
Don’t get this. Timme’s antics aside the team is well coached and a helluva squad. I’m rooting very hard for them tonight.I worry that Gonzaga got its scare out of the way early. I'm not really a big fan of Baylor, but I've never wanted the Zags to lose as badly as I do tonight. They're quite unlikeable.
I graduated from Gonzaga & was played on the golf team, although at that time you just had to break 80 & smoke a bunch of pot. Whatever happens tonight the Zags have surpassed my expectations. Their last game made my day. Win or loose it's all gravy. Happy for both teams getting this far. Nobody has to hang their head regardless of the outcome.Don’t get this. Timme’s antics aside the team is well coached and a helluva squad. I’m rooting very hard for them tonight.
I think this happens in sports all the time. People love the underdog.Don’t get this. Timme’s antics aside the team is well coached and a helluva squad. I’m rooting very hard for them tonight.
The networks are killing their future consumers. This, MLB, the NCAA football championship game - they have absolutely ruined a generation of potential sports viewers. Kids are not able to stay awake anymore to create memories for their sports viewing futures.9:20 start time - WTF. I’ll be lucky to stay awake.

Who the hell is running these networks? Absolutely awful.

Yep. The 2nd one was a terrible reach by Suggs. First one was a brutally bad charge call.Suggs with 2 fouls already
Yep - bad charge call but he needed to be smarter than thatYep. The 2nd one was a terrible reach by Suggs. First one was a brutally bad charge call.
Holy crap they are. It’s like Gonzaga can’t get a decent shot or a rebound.Baylor is crazy athletic. Wow.
OT to boot. Announcers now wondering about the letdown from Saturday as well.All the pressure was on Gonzaga. They are also coming in off of a heavyweight championship battle on Saturday, there could be fatigue as well with them only playing 7 guys
