we have zero ball movement when Sully isn't in

We have ball movement, but no one to draw a credible, constant double to create an easy, open shot for someone else without Sully. That's the issue, everyone has to crete their own space on every shot, because they won't collapse to the inside and we haven't shown outstanding outside shooting to take pressure off the inside. In that situation, Buford and Craft are about the only ones that have shown a great ability to create their own space for a shot, and Thomas can just power over everyone. The rest of the team...still not sure how that's working.

Okay well the rule says you can't taunt a player. So if you agree that he was taunting, why are you arguing the call?

I don't think that kind of taunting after a dunk is typically whistled - there may be a rule against it, but there is selective enforcement of that rule. When you drive 68 mph on a 65 mph road, even though you are in violation of the law, you don't expect get a speeding ticket in that situation and it is generally accepted that you won't. Yelling after dunking over two guys draped on you is okay in my book. I've seen it happen to us, and I don't expect a technical foul to come our way afterwards. It kind of reminds me of when our football team got called for 15-yard penalties for making "block Os" with their nike gloves in the Game last year. Oregon did the same exact thing in their game and never got penalized for it. Didn't think it was fair that we got penalized in our game and Oregon didn't in theirs, but I didn't think either team should have been penalized.

Back to this game, Amir being a little used freshman probably has something to do with it. Even Sullinger had a lot of calls that didn't go his way early last year.

These refs are just calling a lot of things, really inserting themselves in the game. My sense is that a lot of the calls that we got at the end were make up calls (i.e. Buford's 3, moving screen on the other end, etc.).
