“That’s more contact,” Gators coach Michael White shouted during Florida’s win over St. Josephs.
“And that’s more contact!”
It is a supposed point of emphasis for referees entering this college basketball season, but White was emphasizing his point following yet another seemingly benign foul call during last weekend’s Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament.
White, like many fans, had become frustrated with the developing foul-fest and what he perceived to be inconsistencies in what was and was not drawing a whistle.
“And that’s more contact,” he again argued to a nearby referee, suggesting the unfolding play was drawing more contact than had been whistled during a prior play that yielded another Kasey Hill foul.
