Northwestern PG leaves the ball on the court to tie shoe

Talk about a lapse in judgment...

 

[wire chief]

Talk about giving priority to your fashion sense. Probably in her Nike contract.

I suggested my daughter try Velcro shoes… but she said they’re a rip off.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Anyone else notice lately the number of shoes that are coming off in games?? It's been several this season.

 

[Huskee11]

This, and Duke defends the wrong basket.

I thought they were supposed to be the smart ones!

When the whole truth comes out this will be known as 'LacesGate'...

Reminds me of Meghan Gardler fixing her hair mid-play, then hitting a three. She had it down to a science.

Yes, I have and every time when the player goes and fetches the shoe, they just slip it back on! I know some posters have talked about how at the very 1st practice for UCLA under John Wooden, he would go over how to wear two pairs of socks and then properly tie the shoes so they would not come off. If they did either during practice or in the game, the players were removed and benched. Further evidence on the lack of details. Also ironic of this video from the supposed "smart" schools in hoopville.

You remind me how that moment is frozen in my mind, and I know I can't be alone.

Got video?

 

[Sonny44]

She didn't even bother to cross mid court.
The other team could have just waited for the 10 second whistle.

Used to be able to find it. Last time I looked though, couldn't find it.

 

[Zorro]

In her defense, the defensive player knocked her arse-over-teacups and should have been charged for a foul. imho

 

[tomcat]

This person should be playing for College of Charleston, the folks who played with a men's team bball for game after game and allegedly didn't realize it. She would fit right in.

I think the clip was part of the last ESPN series on UConn "The Climb" which was around on youtube for a while then disappeared a few years ago which is weird that a copyright holder would wait years to go after posted videos. It was part of the same series where Kelly Faris was a freshman (and introduced herself as "ahmnu" aka I'm new), Dinner at Geno's, Maya eating and playing drums and being left at a rest stop... really was a great series and too bad it has since been taken down.

Video, or it didn't happen.

 

[willtalk]

For the want of a shoe the ball was lost.

I would agree, except for the fact that it was fundamentally a loose ball. Both has a right to the same space, and the contact was neither egregious nor one sided. A good no-call, and given the situation, even more appropriate.

Stooopid is as stooopid does. I'm going to get crucified for saying that, but it applies, here (IMO).

Yes, but when it happened the other night (maybe Miss St or Texas?), the player got an offensive rebound and a put back, then got back and played defense before the ref handed the player's shoe back once her team was on offense again. I was impressed by the oboard and defense with one shoe.

 

[Kmoney]

That was the dumbest move by a PG since the Portland Blazer who tried to go through airport security metal detector with Marijuana wrapped in aluminum foil.

I think she was really trying to deflate the ball.

 

[easttexastrash]

She was counting the number of seconds she had to get across mid court in her head, starting with "one two, buckle my shot..."

I don't know how anyone who has played any sort of organized ball could think to do this. Poo girl, she will never live that down.

One of my favorite all-time plays. She did it so calmly, and then sank the three. It brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.

8 seconds now.
