Cronin confirms Greg Anthony steps in...
Heard recently that Mick confirmed that Greg Anthony stepped in and called the officials over to take another look at the questionable play in the ul game.
To be honest the actual call doesnt mean that much to me.... But the fact that 1. The Refs listened to a CBS announcer is simply gutless. 2. The fact that Greg Anthony intervened is simply inexcusable. I hope a statement is demanded... he should be suspended.

Agree. He has no right to assert himself into the process. I am not jumping on the blame train but I hope he doesnt do that again. |

yes he said it on the radio show.
Listening to the Cronin show on 700 and Hoard asked him about the 7 min. delay. Cronin straight up said someone from CBS re-called the officials over to look at "every" camera angle. Cronin has a major problem with Anthony and CBS motioning to the UL bench and officials to come re-look at the play. He mentions its like Reggie Miller commentating a UCLA game during the NCAA tourney and calling for every angle. There must be some separation. I love how this ending doesn't get more attention. Its not about blaming the refs for the loss. Its about the bold line above. |

Its basically impossible to draw a charge with the new rules. The way the refs were calling the game in November is not how they are calling it now. What ever happened to the freedom of movement? |

The refs are a clear problem this season... they have been poor. The new rules are enforced at times and at times let go. Touch fouls are often called and yet the paint is a war zone..
But for me this specific situation is simply inexcusable... An announcer should have ZERO impact on a game. I would hope UC athletic department demands some answers from Greg Anthony.

At the end of the day they made the right call, but I agree, simply crazy if Anthony initiated it to the refs.
