I know every year during the tournament we talk about this on this site. But I'm watching the Iowa-Temple game, and its amazing how often black players grab on defense. A lot of their defense just consists of grabbing, which if it's done to a man in the open court who has the ball, it should be called a foul. One of the Iowa players just got by his man, and the Temple player literally just reached out and grabbed him from behind. No foul called. Unbelievable.
Dubbed "playing while white" fouls by Jimmy Chitwood, they're still alive and well. I just saw Mike Gesell trying to dribble the ball out of trouble, and watched the Temple defender repeatedly grab him, so much that even the announcers were saying there should've been a foul.
