There are times when a defender clearly flops trying to get the charge call, necessitating the recent "flop" call in college basketball. However, anyone else see this call being abused by some refs? For example, too often a ref won't call a charge so automatically thinks the defender is flopping and makes the warning call. A great example was in the middle of the second half of the UT-Ball St. game when Milner was clearly knocked over by Sparks. The ref doesn't call the charge, which is one thing, but calls a flop warning on top of the missed call.
I may be reading this wrongly but I thought this thread was about the officials calling charges and flops. Negative Nancys taking this in another direction? No limit to idiocy. No wonder other fan boards take great delight in watching OUr board. One of the few things I think Groce said while he was here rings true, "we are never as good as our fans think we are when we win, and we are never as bad as they make it out when we lose". Not many things I agree with him about but that one is gold
