Question I'd like to discuss: Is it possible that MVC refs and or mid major refs are more likely to call/watch for carrying that major conferences across the country?
Let me explain, it would seem that the MVC doesn't play as much transition basketball as the major conferences across the country, they don't have the same level of athletes in the MVC. Not a knock on the Mo, just an observation - I think the game is played a little quicker in major conferences and players are more likely to get away with the carry especially if they are in transition.
We have seen Kelly called for carry several times and I just think that they are moves that they let him get away with in the Big Ten and maybe in this conference he won't be allowed to make those moves?
To play the other side, he has only played 1 MVC game in his career and maybe officials are told to put more of an emphasis on the carry in non conference play, to make sure it's not a big problem when conference play starts.
Just wanted to get your thoughts, because I think some of the time that Kelly is getting called for carry it's more a product of the referee's lack of understanding how the ball actually go their - I call it the, "Did He Just Do That Effect" because they have no idea how ball got from point A (right hand) to point B (left hand) and they are tough calls going against him.
Ok - let errr rip!
