Kentucky @ South Carolina Officials Report.

[lighthouse]

They never announced who the officials are.

Walks missed 1st half, 5; Palms, 3

Some good walk calls, especially on Ky, but crew lacks consistency.

Crew working well at center and trail positions, but lead position needs more movement. A couple of times the lead was out of position for drive and shoot plays. I thought 2 or 3 fouls were missed on driving shots.

Mechanics are weak. Hands not straight up, and it makes you look lazy. During free-throws, always count with your outside hand, that way there's no chance you could disconcert the shooter.

2nd Half

It looked like contact against #33 blue.

Good walk call on SC, but missed one on #3 Ky.

UK fans, It looks like UK has this one in the bag and I have to get up early in the morning, so I'm going to cut this one short. This crew is doing a good, not great job. SC isn't playing any defense, so they won't get a lot of fouls tonight.

Lighthouse,

I don't know if you remember or not, but were some of those missed walk calls in regards to Tre Kelly? A couple of his jump stop moves looked dangerously close to travelling to me, but I'm no expert.

Your right. But I really thought they missed more UK walks, especially Bradley.

When you jump stop you have to land with both feet at the same time. Tre hasn't learned that, yet, and apparently neither have those refs.

BTW, the refs were Tim Higgins, Ed Corbett and Doug Sirmons. Higgins is usually a pretty good ref, but it sure seemed to me that he watched UK a lot closer than he did USC. ;) Of course, I might be a tad bias in all of this.

That seems to be the trend with the jump-step. I knew Tim was on the game, but I had never seen the other 2. They might be new officials, and that game was a good one to put rookies on.

Wildcat Larry biased, heaven forbid. :rolleyes::ggrin:

[sCATback]

I remember a one definately, maybe a second time where Kelley switched his pivot foot. ;)

That is the way the rule is written, however many players often get away with a quick 1,2 step where the back foot lands a little before the front foot. This happened in the first half when Tre drove past JC and scooped it up and in under Morris. I think its a good move for a guy of tre kelly's size to gain space quickly.
