It was the '21 Tourney.Boston a couple of years ago and Boston now are two different beasts, tho.

And why is that? You know she's very physical, hits the glass relentlessly, why is it so strange to expect that she might pick up a few fouls while playing that way? The times I've watched her, she gets away with a ton of fouls that aren't called. You may be eye rolling, but you're also probably wearing tinted glasses.Rolling my Gamecock eyes SOOOOOO hard.
Boston always keeps her hands high and in good position. One thing I noticed about her recently she stop going for blocks if she is not there. Maybe that is something Dawn told her to do. She had 88 fouls in 31 games last year.Exactly. She has a foul proof coating she applies liberally before every game.
Okay, just to prove I'm not a liar, I looked up her stats. 51 fouls in 37 games. Not even 1 1/2 per game.
Maybe you see what you want to see. I have seen it the other way. She has 2 and 3 people surrounding her grabbing and pulling when she goes up with the ball. Remember it is not a foul unless the ref calls it.And why is that?

I didn't look at last year's stats, that's a big change. Refs focus on arm movement when calling fouls of course, but a lot of contact can occur with the body, even if the arms are kept straight up.Boston always keeps her hands high and in good position.

Ha ha, that sounds like the old Shaq arguments. It is true, if it's not called, it doesn't count.Maybe you see what you want to see. I have seen it the other way.

In the paint there will always have a lot of body contact. Boston has 2 to 3 players trying to get up in her space trying to deny her the ball. Contact is unavoidable. The problem is, if you are going to bump and bang with her it is natural that you will get displaced. She is bigger and stronger. You shouldn't hold that against her.I didn't look at last year's stats, that's a big change.

Hold on to your hats people!
The contact comes from the player trying to deny her. I have only heard complaints from rival fans. Seems like a coach or a media member would suggest if something is off.I think it's fair to question how she is officiated. She gets away with a lot of contact, that is not an unreasonable assertion to make. NWHoopfan is pretty unbiased and I have seen similar sentiments from other fanbases. I can only imagine the kind of numbers Brink could put up if she had the freedom Boston does from refs.
I have seen her several times as well and she does get away with a substantial amount of contact. In the tournament alone, I saw her plow through screens with nothing called. Some of her offensive rebounds are actually offensive fouls. When you are a star, you get benefit of the doubt though.
Do you see when she gets foul and nothing is called? I guess none of that is happening.I think it's fair to question how she is officiated.

Well, if you're gonna blow it up... send one of your top recruiters down to BR please.I was just going to post this. The terps are done. It's over.
Cameron Brink got away with plenty of fouling in that semi game last year. Cheap ones at that. I will never feel sorry for her. As far as NWHoopfan being unbiased, I will have to disagree with that. He is always making snide remarks about SC.I think it's fair to question how she is officiated. She gets away with a lot of contact, that is not an unreasonable assertion to make.

It is expected that Diamond and Mimi are next.Have to wonder if Diamond Miller is the next Maryland portal entry?
I thought she was one of the higher-paid coaches? The base salary has to be above a million.Depending on what the AD knows about the situation, it will be interesting to see how safe Frese’s job is. Contract signed last May is only a $660K base with supplemental up to $1.4M with no buyout.
Ding ding ding! Someone found a home.
