My Finals Opinions. The rules need some fixin' .

Like I said before, i am not good at predicting tournaments. I had chosen Kansas to defeat Kentucky
in the NCAA championship game. Yea, that illusiion came to an end the first weekend.
Northern Iowa. They must be the third most popular team in Iowa. After Uof I and ISU.
Congratulations to Duke and Butler for reaching the final game. I had Duke going to the final four.
Obviously losing to Kentucky in Indy. And Kansas vs. Syracuse. Now i have confessed...

I saw the same reaction from CBS announcers in two separate games. I can't remember what game
it was in the early rounds. A 'would-be' cinderella was beating up on a BCS school, mostly through
the 3 point shot. In the final minute, the BCS team took the lead by 3. With time running out,
the BCS team fouled the other team before they could attempt a shot. So, the would-be team
goes to the foul line, to shoot 2 free throws. Only they are down 3 points, with 10 seconds left in the game.

Absolute suck way to win. Worse, the CBS play-by-play guy is saying that is the best thing to do.
So much for playing basktball. Let the referees decide it ?
That must be the 'incite fear and riots' approach to the NCAA Final four.

Then, it happened again, in the Mich State vs. Butler game. Only this time, Butler managed to avoid having
an 'obvious' foul at the center court line called. That player passed to a shooter, who then received his chance
to shoot 3 free throws. Uh, yea. Butler won that game.

Somebody needs to change that rule. Watch and listen to the CBS guy saying that fouling in a non-shooting
situation is the correct call. SOLUTION: Make this approach a technical foul. Two free throws and the next posession.
Because, the game shoud not be decided by someone 'hacking' the rules.

Also, the 'continuation' rules need to be eliminated. The calls are very inconsistent, in my opinion.
So the NBA has continuation. The NCAA doesn't need it. If you haven't released a shot before the foul, forget it.
This also eliminates the 'block after a foul' where "smart" players deflect the balls trajectory. Ever see 'goal-tending'
called after a foul ? I haven't. It must be rare. But not impossible. Whistle means stop. Unless you're blocking the shot ?
Technical foul.

I saw another 'funny' situation. Can't remember what game this was in:
Big forward has the ball in the key. His back to the basket. He tries to make a move to turn and shoot.
He was triple teamed. As he turned, he stepped on a defenders foot. Whistle: Traveling .

Holy cow. I don't like basketball rules any more. And don't get me started on the retardedness of football rules.
