When I first saw this play as a closeup- I thought NO foul at all. Then seeing it from a wider court perspective- sorry- she went after the Iowa player- moved way into her. What a game.
Paige only had the option of a very contested shot on the other side of the screen. Not like she buried a shot and it was waved off. People are overreacting like it flipped the winner of the game. Paige had a nice interview post game not blaming the loss on one play.
It was 100% a foul, knew it without the replays.. but it happened all game, refs were letting it go! Rules get broken all game, every game in any game.. the ref has to be consistent about how each game will go.. if we’re pushing and shoving then cool, just let me push and shove also is how sports work! I don’t want to accuse anyone of anything, but why call it with seconds left only?
I see her still sliding when she makes contact, and sticking the elbows and knees out to make contact. Where I thought you had to be standing straight up
She undeniably used her entire upper torso and locked elbow to push the other player while sliding into her... technically this goes beyond being just an illegal screen, it's also a flagrant foul - in my opinion at least, as her only intent was to physically push the the other player, not just block her path woth her body - she 100% intended to push to the other player, that is a flagrant foul when that is your intention.
Tough for UConn but it was a foul - you simply can't let that go because it's the end of the game. She blocked Marshall because she wanted Bueckers to get open.
Disagree, Marshall was fighting her way through the screen because she was on the wrong side of the action from the onset. She actually should have stayed on that side anticipating a screen set by Edwards. Look at the tape.
Proud of official who didn’t hesitate to make a right call. It doesn’t matter is it a first second of the first quarter or the last second of the fourth!
In my opinion, In my experience officiating at college level for Women for 6 years. I would let this play go now. I believe #24 Flare out on the screen to give the official that call. It you going to make that call. You better make that call in the first part of the game and now the last call of the game otherwise Let the players decide the game.
Watch the foul in .25 speed. That was a deliberate offensive foul by Edwards with both her arms crossed to push back Marshall right off her feet. No doubt about it. They had to call it.
Thanks for recommending 1/4 speed. 1/4 speed clearly shows Edward's illegal moving screen and her final elbow shove. Both combined resulted in the close-by ref making the correct "offensive foul" call.
I'd push back on the notion the foul was deliberate. Hard to imagine a deliberate foul being committed in a marquis game that the "world" is watching. Even if it weren't such a high-stakes game, a deliberate foul is often committed much earlier in a game, not in the closing seconds with the game is on the line. With that said, it was still a foul. If you pause the video at the moment of body contact, you'll find the screener is leaning where her shoulders and elbows are outside the boundary of her own two feet.
I agree, it looked like a football block more than a pick and she slid out to Marshall and even pushed her elbow toward Marshall. You have to look at the play from a distance because if you don’t see her feet moving toward Marshall, it’s not as obvious. And Scott Van Pelt (ESPN) is daring anyone to disagree with him that it was a foul.
In Basketball......you don't make that call with 9 seconds. She was definitely still getting around that screen. Park ball sir. No calls other than an intentional
@@BigWillieDillieit was intentional. Look with your eyes. Edwards took a huge step into Gabby, who clearly had the position to move around her and stay on Paige. You don’t get to get away with that in a “let them play” scenario because you want the game to go a certain way for entertainment’s sake. Edward’s wasn’t thinking and just reacted. She made a costly mistake.
Edwards clearly stepped, stepped, stepped with elbow up into Marshall. Edwards Blocked her. Phony espn replay’s don’t show the normal TV angle which show it’s a Foul. Unlike Muhl who fouled Clark all night Gabby March played good defense throughout the game.
0:42 That’s a great camera shot of UConn’s coach putting his head down while Gabbie Marshall in the background celebrating the call. I don’t know why, but it looked pretty badass
Ya it's an epic sports visual moment. I thought the same thing last night. So is the shot of her pointing in agreement with the official while Hannah is yelling in the background
She stepped into the defender as the defender was following her assignment, used her elbow/forearm and extended left leg to block her (with a little extra push to the defender’s face). It was not only a foul, it was flagrant (intentional) and was correctly called by the official. If it’s a foul at minute 1 in a game it is a foul at final minute of the game. It should haven a technical foul with Iowa shooting foul shots. And I’m a UConn fan. Always have been.
It would have been nice to see the game end with UCONN taking a shot in the final few seconds but the only person to blame for that not happening is Aaliyah Edwards. She made the extra, extra effort to push a moving screen in front of Gabbie Marshall drawing the foul. I understand folks being upset thinking similar calls were not made earlier in the game, even though I don't remember seeing any that blatant. I hate inconsistent officiating in sports as much as the next person, but to expect the officials to not call such an egregious foul is crazy.
I haven't played basketball since I was 10 and don't watch it and even I know you can't do that. The sideline shot in real time she takes a huge step into the defender for the pick and is still moving at contact. Not even questionable.
It's not questionable if you've called it all game. It's questionable in this situation, also, because it's still somewhat of a nothing event. Moot point, dumb play by the UConn player.
For those saying you don’t make that call cause of the time left. You can’t allow illegal screens go to give the other team the advantage just cause you want the exciting ending.
EXACTLY!!! This is to go to the CHAMPIONSHIP! That'd be like letting the other team commit pass interference on a hail Mary in the NFC championship. You don't let that go just cause of the moment. Makes me think of saints vs rams a few years ago when an EGREGIOUS pass interference wasn't called and it cost new Orleans a trip to the super bowl. Just cause of the moment. Cause if you don't call it and they hit that shot, it'd be tainted.
If you make that call in the 1st quarter you also make it with seconds to go. Otherwise you are trying to manipulate the outcome by "swallowing" the whistle.
@@pickle_soup160 much appreciated. And seriously, it's the same type thing! The rules are the rules, and if you don't make the call after she gets CLOBBERED, and Paige or whoever makes the shot, now Iowa fans are gonna be calling for a moving screen that should've been called. It's funny, so many people in the moment were butthurt about it, but after a sleep, so many are turning around and saying "yeah, it was a foul." I saw someone else on Twitter liken it to the play in the chiefs vs bills game last year where kadarius toney was lined up offsides and Travis threw that lateral to him. Brother was so clearly and blatantly offsides, you HAVE to have some awareness, and if you're the official you HAVE to call it! There's no "rule of cool" in sports. UConn, the most well coached program EVER under Geno, lost in the last 30 seconds on an illegal screen, not boxing out a missed free throw, and Paige Bueckers committing a cardinal sin of turning her back to the inbounder at the baseline. Three brief lapses of judgement and three moments of poor execution. Sometimes, you lose on the margins. Sometimes, Steph Curry drops 43 and you lose. Other times, you clamp Steph up only for Wiggins to get 25, Klay to get 20, and Jordan Poole hits some crazy shots. Those margins matter, and at the end of the day, Iowa's role players stepped up. I'd much rather them call the game by the book and reward the effort of the role players than let the rules slide so a star can have a manufactured "moment."
"In obtaining and maintaining legal screening tactics, the screener shall: a. Stay within their vertical plane with a stance in which the inside of the screener’s feet are not wider than shoulder width apart. The screener shall not lean into the path of an opponent or extend their hips into that path, even though the feet are stationary."
Thanks for the rule. That was a clear foul. I wonder what the deniers would say if Marshall had smashed into the shooter like the screener smashed into her.
Or score so many points that you can coast the last 5 minutes of the game. Shoulda dominated the game and a last minute foul wouldn't have meant anything.
@@geelangfordo3272 And yet you can push off with your right hand to create space and not being called for offensive foul? IDC who wins here but this was a bad call. If your criteria is like that then you call all the fouls like taht for the entire game and not like this. Players should decide the outcome, not reffs.
Illegal screen, you can't used an extra elbow or hip for set up a pick. Like a charging foul, illegal screen is not only an offensive personal foul, it's a turnover.
@colb1055 player can't be moving while setting a screen. Not only she was moving, she stuck her elbow out. That's a foul, even in middle school basketball. The great ucon hc didn't even question the call n he saw it live.
Clearly a moving screen with an elbow shove, foul! She needed to run that action closer to the screener so she didn’t have to move! You learn that in little dribblers. It was a good call, regardless of how much time is on the clock.
The foul called at end of game….I thought the UConn defender jumped into the path of the Iowa player and made an offensive push off with her forearm to earn that accurate foul ( kudos to the ref to call it)
Those screens never get called. GTFOH it was legitimate call. When every screen like that before was never called. Ok you are a person that likes to cheat to win. Noted!
I get why people are mad about a foul like that deciding the game, but it was a clear foul. Not even debatable, clearly moving. If that play set up the win, integrity would be out the window.
That’s not the point the game should go both ways. Caitlyn Clark clearly pushed off the girl 16 times carried the ball 100 times traveled at least nine times so why called the call now why call it when there’s nine seconds to go let those girls determine who wins the game not the refs that’s the point.
@isaiahbeatty4177 not gonna lie I started watching at half, but first thing I saw was two "fouls" that resulted in freethrows called on Iowa in the paint where defender was standing completely still, with both hands straight up in air, and didn't jump.
@jimmiesmith5590 Do you understand the advantage of getting away with those fouls? If you don't then you don't get why they are called. ESPECIALLY at the end of a game.
@@Undefeatedatoutwittingtrolls West Virginia is known for constantly hacking, but were only called slightly more than their game average. Iowa likes to drive in the paint and so they attract fouls, but they only drew slightly more then their game average of calls.
It was clearly a moving screen- the extension of her left leg looked like an effort to trip the Iowa player- causing her to start running to avoid the screen and possible trip. Had she not extended the leg, she probably would have gotten away with it. But, the cardinal rule of a screen is you must not be moving, i.e. must be set before contact is made.
Not only did she move fairly violently into the defender and was moving on the screen but her stance was way to wide as well. You have to keep your arms and legs square to each other and even if she hadn't got her in the upper body she still got her with her knee on the moving screen.
Corrent, feet can be no more than shoulder width apart. Paige took off without waiting for the screen or she ran the screen too wide. So Gabbie was on her. Aaliyah moved to try and stop Gabbie in the heat of the moment. Refs were correct, blatant foul. Media tried to spin it wrong.
They keep showing the dumbest replay angle of the foul call, probably to have something to debate come monday morning. If you show the regular reply from where the ref was standing or even from the opposite sideline, you can see why the call was made, edward's legs moved so far out on the screen that the refs called it. I dont like hearing the whistle with potential buzzer beaters but it is what it is
0:05 That's a flagrant 1 or 2 foul because Edwards raised her elbow to head level and almost took out the Iowa player with an elbow to the head. That's highly dangerous and the Iowa player could have had her teeth knocked out or a broken eye socket. Raising an elbow like that is uncalled for and dirty IMO. How would Edwards like it if someone set a screen and raised an elbow and hit her in the head???
Dude stop it was more an acting job. It was not enough to call a foul like that at the moment. Let them play. Then all the fouls UConn had called on them it was Iowa game to win 😂
At the time I did not see the foul and the replay so brief and full speed that I could not see the foul. On this video I finally can see what happened. Yea it was a foul and she blocked her so hard almost knocked her over. So not as cheap as they are making it out to be. Sad for Uconn but Iowa earned it. They did choke at the end too. Clark should have kept the ball and not pass to her choking team mates. Three passes to wrong team in a row. That is choking, Iowa lucky to have won.
The problem is not whether or not that's a foul. The tough part is it was not consistent in how the game was called AND it was an off ball foul late in the game. The refs ruined an all time great game
Her leg position, too -- her feet are way outside her frame; if it's a few inches outside, no big deal, but she's making a screen that's way wider than her own body.
Why does how much time left on the clock have an impact on what fouls can and can't be called? If theres a foul that needs to be called, the refs are going to call it no matter what. Salty uconn fans will reach for any excuse they can.@@ravenx5309
It's clearly a foul, she was moving the whole time (the first and second screen) and leaned in with an elbow, whether it hit that hard isn't the point, and it was right in front of the referee. Plus, what if it's not called? Look at the spacing caused by the bad screen, it really gave UConn an advantage to score with almost no time left.
Offensive foul all day. Edwards clearly stepped into Marshall and leaned into it as well. There was nothing dirty about the play, nothing flagrant, BUT it was a plain and obvious moving screen, especially with her leaning out and using momentum to displace Marshall.
The entire Ucon staff knew it. Notice they didn't yell at the ref. She's a really good player even though this was a stupid play. Great call by the ref.
@@CrowdPleeza Look at the position and the focus of the ref (upper right) that made the call. He's got a perfect view of that elbow coming up. And Edwards also threw the knee as well. He had no choice but to call it.
Wasted a lot of clock and pinned Paige into the corner. Should have given it to her at the top. Really should have gotten her more involved all game, they were definitely outcoached.
@@antoinepowell649what fix? You need some cheese with that whine? Don’t throw elbows at a critical moment in the game. Damned near knocked the girl to the floor. Grow up.
First time seeing this and I don't get the controversy. She's not established and she's literally gritting her teeth while she throws that upper left side of her body into the defender. Easy call that should be made 100% of the time. And I'm saying this literally not caring at all about who'd win the game lol
Connecticut was getting pretty physical last few minutes, could have called a few fouls before this but let them play. Moving into, and raised her elbow into her. Easy call.
Right? She also extended her left leg and elbow well outside of her vertical plane. A screener is not allowed to obstruct the defender's path by stretching her arms or legs well beyond their shoulder width. Edwards' feet were spread so far apart, her body was sliding toward the defender, and then she stuck up her elbow. It was definitely an illegal and moving screen.
I thought it was a terrible call at first but having seen many more replays of it now. I understand the call at least she could have gotten away with the leg or elbow but not both.
UConn fans should stop crying. Had Edwards simply obstructed Marshall she had a chance, but she leaned into Marshall which was why the ref had to call it. They also constantly hand-checked Caitlin Clark the entire game without Iowa getting a single call.
It's a shame because if sports were played the way they were before the money was involved, that final UConn possession would have been decided by the players. I made a nice amount of money tonight, but that ending leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it feels like the refs manipulated things.
I watch 0 and I mean ZERO sports but the excitement that Clarke has brought lately has me intrigued. Good luck Caitlin and Iowa; I hope your efforts are rewarded with a victory in the finals.
It's an easy call...foul. But to me the call doesn't even come down to whether the screener was moving. I think most people are overlooking the clearest pieces of evidence. First, basketball players are only entitled to "their space". Second, a complementary notion is the concept of "verticality". Go to 0:06 in the above video and pause...this is the moment of contact between the screener and defender. I want you to notice the screener's legs and feet. If there's contact because the screener's feet are OUTSIDE THE WIDTH OF THE SHOULDERS shoulders, there should be a foul. Second, check if the screener's legs are balanced. If THE LEGS ARE NOT EQUALLY BALANCED then the player is leaning outside of her space...so the player isn't vertical either. The screener violates both of these concepts. By contrast, check out Caitlin Clark's "The Shot" against Indiana where the screener (#25 Monica Cziano) sets a strong, perfect screen.
@@CoreyDHollingsworth so what if they are a 3 seed. they beat Southern California who is also a 1 seed. how many championships has UConn won? this team has a history of beating really good teams. i think Iowa has a lot to be proud of. beating UConn is not at all easy
@@joka5345 NOT a chance. A moving screen does not block a player like that. A moving screen would have been more like a body check in hockey. A knee compromised maybe???? . Honestly. They got the call wrong. Moving pick/screen is bascially when the feet are not set and still moving, to find the opposite player to stop them. It feels like a body check because it is almost a check from shoulder to shoulder or shoulder on knee. She was set. Just not like in conventional way I guess. But the girl that ran the pick/screen was set in time That screen IMO in an nba game would have been allowed. NOT sure WNBA. IMO I honestly think they got that call wrong. Maybe I am not up to date on my wnba or ncaa womens basketball but to me (basketball s a quick game) that was not a moving pick/screen.
CC missed that free throw on purpose, its a designed play to get an OR. They practice it. watch it again a few times. She is a 86% at the free throw line.
I doubt it. In that moment, getting 3 point lead is better. Better to play to hold on defense, or at worse go into OT. Making a foul shot is easier than for sure getting the rebound.
Foul. Right call. If ref doesn't blow the whistle UCONN gets an open shot, or at the very least Iowa defense is thrown off and UCONN has advantage due to non-call. People need to stop being selfish which is what saying, "I wanted the play to continue" is." Foul is a foul no matter when it happens. Good and right call period
Yeah, that’s the irony of the foul. It didn’t create any advantage for UConn, and Stuelke had Paige pretty well covered. Seemed like a lot of fancy action for such a high pressure situation.
Shooting a 3?? did you not see Paige setting up Aaliyah when she drew the double team? .. They literally ran the same play a couple plays before those last secs. It was great game unfortunately Iowa took that big lead in start mid 4th qt and it was UConn coming back (which they did) and came down till that last play. Ref should have just let it play .. Either way, its looking like SC will remain undefeated.
Perfect season champs. You got your answer... Sucks that Uconn were not given that opportunity to see if they could have pulled it off and get that Title. Congrats to SC
Uconn has noone to blame but themselves. Even when they called the foul on Edwards they still didn't box out at the free throw line. Which could have changed the game and not to mention they blew a 15point lead.
Just a total 💩show down the final stretch for both teams. It was right call on the lean in on screen but there was plenty of worse calls throughout the night then that. At least it was the right call and not a huge controversial foul that was unseen and called and found to be non existent on replays.
Moving Screen. No doubt about it. Right in front of the Referee. No disrespect to Ms. Edwards who was playing hard, but it was obviously the correct call.
I didn't watch the game so I was surprised that U Conn's players seemed happy , like no foul was called ,even though CLEARLY there was .Those of you who think there was no foul are blind . Those who think it should not have been called approve double standards , or serarate rules for different people . Look at the coach . He clearly is not mad at the referee , he's mad at his player , who blew the game for them . GO IOWA !
The ending was disappointing, but I’ll continue to watch this growing sport over MLB any day of the week. This was an incredibly entertaining tournament. With one huge game left!
Everyone justifying the call is talking about the moving feet on the screen, but isn't the obvious violation that her elbows are stuck out away from her torso to make contact? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not claiming to be a rules expert by any means.
@@tykemorris A couple hours ago on tiktok I saw a from a fan video who was sitting on that side of the court. It would have been the same angle as the ref. It was unbelievably obvious how much of a foul it was.
I watched it in slo mo 12 times, didn't see the elbow come up, actually held pretty close to the body. But I did see the knees bent and pointed at like 45 degrees out, the left knee sticking pretty far out, and the body moving to the left, which I think was the source of the foul.
Honestly, slow motion is deceptive. In normal speed you can see the deliberate movements into the defender. The wideshot in the first view is the best angle. Both the legs, the body and then the elbow shot up. Not even close.
That was not a bad call at all! From all the whining I expected it to be nothing. It was a CLEAR offensive foul. LOL Jackass no-nothings of UA-cam basketball. The same level of stupidity from the 'experts' on ESPN.
Iowa turned the ball over 12 times in first half, iowa couldnt pass successfully or get inside , entire first half, uconn had em shut down. But iowa restratedgized and held on to win.
They weren’t gonna let Caitlyn Clark lose even tho she was shut down most of the game! She really thought she was curry just jacking up 3’s and got 2-10 lol
@@OmahaSand a lot of those calls changed the entire trajectory of the game 4 FTs to 14 is ridiculous. That's the 12 pt lead lost right there, plus a slowing of momentum. We've given the refs too much power to manipulate outcomes.
It was a good call. UConn fans and CC haters can cry all they want but there were several calls and no calls that went in favor of UConn all game. It was the right call. Congratulations to the Iowa Ladies. IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER!!
watching the not zoomed in slow motion you can see her basically step/jump into the defenders path, not even close to a legal screen, more like a football block
watch it in slo-mo and far at a wide enough camera angle to see her feet. SHE WAS MOVING. AND WATCH THE SHOULDER AND ELBOW. the espn announcer says 'barely leaning' and then says 'ouch' when she sees that gabby almost got decapitated by the move! that announcer should be fired. if that wasn't called and a unsuccessful 3 was put up and there was a barely noticeable foul, that same announce would be on the opposite opinion in a heartbeat. such prejudice.
When I first saw this play as a closeup- I thought NO foul at all. Then seeing it from a wider court perspective- sorry- she went after the Iowa player- moved way into her. What a game.
If that is a foul then you have to call it the whole game. Not when you can fix it whenever.

Yea that was iconic, scrappy Gabby.
Reminds me of Michael Jordan and Craig Ehlo.
*I concur.*
She stepped into the defender as the defender was following her assignment, used her elbow/forearm and extended left leg to block her (with a little extra push to the defender’s face). It was not only a foul, it was flagrant (intentional) and was correctly called by the official. If it’s a foul at minute 1 in a game it is a foul at final minute of the game. It should haven a technical foul with Iowa shooting foul shots. And I’m a UConn fan. Always have been.
Your honesty as a U Conn fan is appreciated. And if the Iowa player had crashed into the shooter that much, surely the refs would call that a foul.
"Barely leaning...." She lowered her shoulder and and blasted Marshall. Plain and simple.
It would have been nice to see the game end with UCONN taking a shot in the final few seconds but the only person to blame for that not happening is Aaliyah Edwards. She made the extra, extra effort to push a moving screen in front of Gabbie Marshall drawing the foul. I understand folks being upset thinking similar calls were not made earlier in the game, even though I don't remember seeing any that blatant. I hate inconsistent officiating in sports as much as the next person, but to expect the officials to not call such an egregious foul is crazy.
I haven't played basketball since I was 10 and don't watch it and even I know you can't do that. The sideline shot in real time she takes a huge step into the defender for the pick and is still moving at contact. Not even questionable.
It's not questionable if you've called it all game. It's questionable in this situation, also, because it's still somewhat of a nothing event. Moot point, dumb play by the UConn player.
For those saying you don’t make that call cause of the time left. You can’t allow illegal screens go to give the other team the advantage just cause you want the exciting ending.
EXACTLY!!! This is to go to the CHAMPIONSHIP! That'd be like letting the other team commit pass interference on a hail Mary in the NFC championship. You don't let that go just cause of the moment. Makes me think of saints vs rams a few years ago when an EGREGIOUS pass interference wasn't called and it cost new Orleans a trip to the super bowl. Just cause of the moment. Cause if you don't call it and they hit that shot, it'd be tainted.
If you make that call in the 1st quarter you also make it with seconds to go. Otherwise you are trying to manipulate the outcome by "swallowing" the whistle.
@@greyklopstock7155 100% Great comparison to the Rams game. Can't let the moment dictate the rules.
@@pickle_soup160 much appreciated. And seriously, it's the same type thing! The rules are the rules, and if you don't make the call after she gets CLOBBERED, and Paige or whoever makes the shot, now Iowa fans are gonna be calling for a moving screen that should've been called. It's funny, so many people in the moment were butthurt about it, but after a sleep, so many are turning around and saying "yeah, it was a foul." I saw someone else on Twitter liken it to the play in the chiefs vs bills game last year where kadarius toney was lined up offsides and Travis threw that lateral to him. Brother was so clearly and blatantly offsides, you HAVE to have some awareness, and if you're the official you HAVE to call it! There's no "rule of cool" in sports. UConn, the most well coached program EVER under Geno, lost in the last 30 seconds on an illegal screen, not boxing out a missed free throw, and Paige Bueckers committing a cardinal sin of turning her back to the inbounder at the baseline. Three brief lapses of judgement and three moments of poor execution. Sometimes, you lose on the margins. Sometimes, Steph Curry drops 43 and you lose. Other times, you clamp Steph up only for Wiggins to get 25, Klay to get 20, and Jordan Poole hits some crazy shots. Those margins matter, and at the end of the day, Iowa's role players stepped up. I'd much rather them call the game by the book and reward the effort of the role players than let the rules slide so a star can have a manufactured "moment."
@@greyklopstock7155 an excellent post. Nails it 💯
When you watch it again, I think you realize that Geno is more pissed at Edwards than anything
Yeah it looks like he says " what are we doing" when he turns and bends over. He knew his player messed up
Bingo
@@oskisnutz And then real quiet at post game ,same with girls..it's March Madness...
The girl who was supposedly fouled was faking!
It was a total offensive foul. She extended her arms. She stepped right in front of her moving causing the contact. Easy call.
"In obtaining and maintaining legal screening tactics, the screener shall:
a. Stay within their vertical plane with a stance in which the inside of the
screener’s feet are not wider than shoulder width apart. The screener shall
not lean into the path of an opponent or extend their hips into that path,
even though the feet are stationary."
Thanks for the rule. That was a clear foul. I wonder what the deniers would say if Marshall had smashed into the shooter like the screener smashed into her.
If you don't want a foul to decide the game, don't foul. That's it. Expecting the refs to ignore it out of principle is just plain dumb.
true, but if you have observed what has happened to the average American I.Q. over recent decades, expect plain dumb to be the norm.
Thank you sir! Amazes me how many people want the refs to ignore the rules at the end of a game.
Or score so many points that you can coast the last 5 minutes of the game. Shoulda dominated the game and a last minute foul wouldn't have meant anything.
So, it's ok to ignore it during the game and then call it when the game is on the line?
@@geelangfordo3272 And yet you can push off with your right hand to create space and not being called for offensive foul? IDC who wins here but this was a bad call. If your criteria is like that then you call all the fouls like taht for the entire game and not like this. Players should decide the outcome, not reffs.
Correct call: You can't move during a screen. She moved her feet and arms.
Call it a moving block with an elbow right in front of the ref not the best choice of a play
@@mross8792 I wonder if that clear plastic face mask is an indication of the style of play she uses.
yep, both ARM and Leg, BOTH!
It’s the angle. When she’s moving directly into the camera you don’t see the movement as strong. From the side it’s much more obvious
You can see that Edward extended her left leg horizontally while in screening position. Which is a moving screen.
The edwards elbow to the face didnt help either
Good call. Clearly stepped into her path and leaned into it.
Illegal screen, you can't used an extra elbow or hip for set up a pick. Like a charging foul, illegal screen is not only an offensive personal foul, it's a turnover.
She hikes her elbow after contact, and when the REF sees her elbow flap it is a foul every time
No it’s not please watch basketball more casual
@colb1055 it's a moving screen. Get lost newbie.
@colb1055 player can't be moving while setting a screen. Not only she was moving, she stuck her elbow out. That's a foul, even in middle school basketball. The great ucon hc didn't even question the call n he saw it live.
@@colb1055 / Yes, it is, no part of a screen can include extending your elbow... a screen is the width of your body (the end)
Clearly a moving screen with an elbow shove, foul! She needed to run that action closer to the screener so she didn’t have to move! You learn that in little dribblers. It was a good call, regardless of how much time is on the clock.
Thank you for mentioning the elbow, which she definitely raised and extended
The only people that are mad are the UConn vets. Notice how ESPN only asks them what they thought of the call.
The foul called at end of game….I thought the UConn defender jumped into the path of the Iowa player and made an offensive push off with her forearm to earn that accurate foul ( kudos to the ref to call it)
That was 1000% a moving screen
I see that all of the lefty bots are out today, supporting Ms Adams Apple and pretending like that wasn’t a bad call
Those screens never get called. GTFOH it was legitimate call. When every screen like that before was never called.

@@bowhunter8532 Where you born yesterday? That last statement kinds of says so.
I get why people are mad about a foul like that deciding the game, but it was a clear foul. Not even debatable, clearly moving. If that play set up the win, integrity would be out the window.
@jimmiesmith5590 odd denial. I wish that you could post images in the comments. It's an incredibly easy screenshot to get of the foul.
That’s not the point the game should go both ways. Caitlyn Clark clearly pushed off the girl 16 times carried the ball 100 times traveled at least nine times so why called the call now why call it when there’s nine seconds to go let those girls determine who wins the game not the refs that’s the point.
@isaiahbeatty4177 not gonna lie I started watching at half, but first thing I saw was two "fouls" that resulted in freethrows called on Iowa in the paint where defender was standing completely still, with both hands straight up in air, and didn't jump.

It's a moving screen... clear as day
But they didn't call moving screen they said she leaned her shoulder into her plus they cheated against west Virginia the writing is on the wall
@@Undefeatedatoutwittingtrollsplus the wind was fierce plus they had a tummy ache plus
@@Undefeatedatoutwittingtrolls West Virginia is known for constantly hacking, but were only called slightly more than their game average. Iowa likes to drive in the paint and so they attract fouls, but they only drew slightly more then their game average of calls.
Fix is in for ratings 😂 sports is a business they help her get this game
@@Undefeatedatoutwittingtrollsalways remember everyone, when your team loses it’s always rigged!!!
It was clearly a moving screen- the extension of her left leg looked like an effort to trip the Iowa player- causing her to start running to avoid the screen and possible trip. Had she not extended the leg, she probably would have gotten away with it. But, the cardinal rule of a screen is you must not be moving, i.e. must be set before contact is made.
Not only did she move fairly violently into the defender and was moving on the screen but her stance was way to wide as well. You have to keep your arms and legs square to each other and even if she hadn't got her in the upper body she still got her with her knee on the moving screen.
Corrent, feet can be no more than shoulder width apart. Paige took off without waiting for the screen or she ran the screen too wide. So Gabbie was on her. Aaliyah moved to try and stop Gabbie in the heat of the moment. Refs were correct, blatant foul. Media tried to spin it wrong.
They keep showing the dumbest replay angle of the foul call, probably to have something to debate come monday morning. If you show the regular reply from where the ref was standing or even from the opposite sideline, you can see why the call was made, edward's legs moved so far out on the screen that the refs called it. I dont like hearing the whistle with potential buzzer beaters but it is what it is
Iowa broke your udon heart. Go cry to mommy😅😂🤣
@jimmiesmith5590 lol. whaaaa whaaaa
looks like she stuck her leg out and leaned in.
Time on the clock doesn’t matter. A moving screen in a moving screen
@DC...You are correct plus her elbow and shoulder went out into the defender as well
I thought it was an incorrect call at first but its definitely a moving screen when you slow it down
With a healthy dollop of 'oops, did i shove my shoulder bone into your face? so sowwy...'
No I finally see what you mean. her feet were semi set... but her torso was looking for the contact.
looks like a football move
@@ceterisparibus6261Her feet were still shoveling.
its a clear shove guys .
0:05 That's a flagrant 1 or 2 foul because Edwards raised her elbow to head level and almost took out the Iowa player with an elbow to the head. That's highly dangerous and the Iowa player could have had her teeth knocked out or a broken eye socket.
Raising an elbow like that is uncalled for and dirty IMO. How would Edwards like it if someone set a screen and raised an elbow and hit her in the head???
Foul yes. Flagrant no. If you revisit the slo-mo at 0:35-0:36, you'll find the defender keeps her elbows down and close to her body.
Very clear offensive foul. Moved a lot sideways to catch the moving player…
Dude stop it was more an acting job. It was not enough to call a foul like that at the moment. Let them play. Then all the fouls UConn had called on them it was Iowa game to win 😂
@@Chosen11973 It was a foul. Period.
At the time I did not see the foul and the replay so brief and full speed that I could not see the foul. On this video I finally can see what happened. Yea it was a foul and she blocked her so hard almost knocked her over. So not as cheap as they are making it out to be. Sad for Uconn but Iowa earned it. They did choke at the end too. Clark should have kept the ball and not pass to her choking team mates. Three passes to wrong team in a row. That is choking, Iowa lucky to have won.
@@Physics072 she was anticipating double teams
She clearly moved into the girls path and used her arms to block.

Good call on the blocking foul, she raised her elbow and upper arm into the Iowa defender as she ran by
She stepped out to screen. Good call
Y’all are wild for pretending that wasn’t a foul…
It was a foul but that never gets called in that situation.
Exactly, you get your elbows out, you pay the price.
The problem is not whether or not that's a foul. The tough part is it was not consistent in how the game was called AND it was an off ball foul late in the game. The refs ruined an all time great game
Go look at how many calls Iowa got smh the fix is in
People betting on Uconn are the only ones upset
Good call, pause it at 6 second and hit play pause until 7 seconds and it will give you all the visual evidence it was a moving pick
100% right call. Anyone who thinks otherwise, simply does not want to see it.
heartbreaking for Uconn, fans wanted one last shot from Paige but it was a foul but UConn was up 12 at one point, so they had their chances
Everyone saying it wasn't a foul must be blind.
UConn had all chances in the world to blow Iowa out and take the game out the refs hands, bad or good call is irrelevant, its basketball
Everyone saying it wasnt a foul is racist
It was definitely a foul.. but it was a tricky tack foul.. shouldn't have determined the outcome of the game..
Her leg position, too -- her feet are way outside her frame; if it's a few inches outside, no big deal, but she's making a screen that's way wider than her own body.
Why does how much time left on the clock have an impact on what fouls can and can't be called? If theres a foul that needs to be called, the refs are going to call it no matter what. Salty uconn fans will reach for any excuse they can.@@ravenx5309
It's clearly a foul, she was moving the whole time (the first and second screen) and leaned in with an elbow, whether it hit that hard isn't the point, and it was right in front of the referee. Plus, what if it's not called? Look at the spacing caused by the bad screen, it really gave UConn an advantage to score with almost no time left.
barely leaned? did you even watch this play?
But she did throw in the "umph" when she saw the thrown elbow.
Offensive foul all day. Edwards clearly stepped into Marshall and leaned into it as well. There was nothing dirty about the play, nothing flagrant, BUT it was a plain and obvious moving screen, especially with her leaning out and using momentum to displace Marshall.
The entire Ucon staff knew it. Notice they didn't yell at the ref. She's a really good player even though this was a stupid play. Great call by the ref.
Was a moving pick. She didnt have her feet both planted...also leaned into it.
Its a weak foul but it really is a moving screen and clearly a foul.
BAD CALL LET THEM PLAY 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Foul, but let them play.
It's an illegal pick.
If that's a foul then I can show montage of over a thousand of moving screens
Yes just weak and at all times
Why does ESPN refuse to post the definitive full body, slow motion video of the blatant foul? It's all over X.
Lobo calling play,says Edwards hardly moves,then sees step out and elbow Edwards threw and then goes says oh, yep good call!
That's not only an offensive foul, that's a borderline elbow.
Sounds like ESPN did NOT want Caitlin Clark in the final.
Edwards threw that elbow and it was a good call. No elbow, no foul.
People need to ask themselves what would have been the reaction had that foul not been called?
@@CrowdPleeza Look at the position and the focus of the ref (upper right) that made the call. He's got a perfect view of that elbow coming up. And Edwards also threw the knee as well. He had no choice but to call it.

Fouls and penalty calls always seem to get magnified near the end of tight games in most sports.

That was a dumb play run by UCONN regardless of the call
Wasted a lot of clock and pinned Paige into the corner. Should have given it to her at the top. Really should have gotten her more involved all game, they were definitely outcoached.

Absurd to say a foul shouldn't decide a game. It's an invitation to foul.
They would rather have no call, which would not have been fair to the opposing team; it's illogical. There are rules for a reason
That wasn’t only a foul but a dirty one. That’s sad.
First time seeing this and I don't get the controversy. She's not established and she's literally gritting her teeth while she throws that upper left side of her body into the defender. Easy call that should be made 100% of the time.
And I'm saying this literally not caring at all about who'd win the game lol
Connecticut was getting pretty physical last few minutes, could have called a few fouls before this but let them play. Moving into, and raised her elbow into her. Easy call.
Cmon man, they call that with 3 sec in the game to a hype team that desperately needed it.
0:05 yeah that’s a moving screen. You can see her planted foot (her right foot - left if looking at the replay) sliding to keep up with that lunge.
Right? She also extended her left leg and elbow well outside of her vertical plane. A screener is not allowed to obstruct the defender's path by stretching her arms or legs well beyond their shoulder width. Edwards' feet were spread so far apart, her body was sliding toward the defender, and then she stuck up her elbow. It was definitely an illegal and moving screen.
I thought it was a terrible call at first but having seen many more replays of it now. I understand the call at least she could have gotten away with the leg or elbow but not both.
@@UA-camCensors The combined both was too much for the Ref to ignore.
UConn fans should stop crying. Had Edwards simply obstructed Marshall she had a chance, but she leaned into Marshall which was why the ref had to call it. They also constantly hand-checked Caitlin Clark the entire game without Iowa getting a single call.
Network wants Iowa in Finals for ratings
It's a shame because if sports were played the way they were before the money was involved, that final UConn possession would have been decided by the players. I made a nice amount of money tonight, but that ending leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it feels like the refs manipulated things.
I agree
No doubt about it!
Yup and you will still come back and keep watching
Makes sense
I watch 0 and I mean ZERO sports but the excitement that Clarke has brought lately has me intrigued. Good luck Caitlin and Iowa; I hope your efforts are rewarded with a victory in the finals.
I watched my first 3 games of the season this week. Iowa is good, but SC is tall, muscular, and quick. Gonna be a good final.
A screen CAN NOT move, goodnight:)
Tell that to the NBA refs 😂😂
I'd like to see Edwards try raising her elbow in the WNBA and see if she can get away with it.
It's an easy call...foul. But to me the call doesn't even come down to whether the screener was moving. I think most people are overlooking the clearest pieces of evidence. First, basketball players are only entitled to "their space". Second, a complementary notion is the concept of "verticality". Go to 0:06 in the above video and pause...this is the moment of contact between the screener and defender. I want you to notice the screener's legs and feet. If there's contact because the screener's feet are OUTSIDE THE WIDTH OF THE SHOULDERS shoulders, there should be a foul. Second, check if the screener's legs are balanced. If THE LEGS ARE NOT EQUALLY BALANCED then the player is leaning outside of her space...so the player isn't vertical either. The screener violates both of these concepts. By contrast, check out Caitlin Clark's "The Shot" against Indiana where the screener (#25 Monica Cziano) sets a strong, perfect screen.
She barely moved though
Absolutely the right call. An obvious moving screen.

It feels like a body check because it is almost a check from shoulder to shoulder or shoulder on knee. She was set. Just not like in conventional way I guess. But the girl that ran the pick/screen was set in time That screen IMO in an nba game would have been allowed. NOT sure WNBA. IMO I honestly think they got that call wrong.

Moving screen. Good call. Nice to see some actual officiating.
CC missed that free throw on purpose, its a designed play to get an OR. They practice it. watch it again a few times. She is a 86% at the free throw line.
Interesting. I wondered about that, but pretty risky (gutsy?) passing up a chance for a three point lead with just seconds left.
I doubt it. In that moment, getting 3 point lead is better. Better to play to hold on defense, or at worse go into OT. Making a foul shot is easier than for sure getting the rebound.
Press X to Doubt
I thought the same thing. Burned clock even if Iowa lost the rebound. Probably knew which direction the arrow was even before the shot.
Foul. Right call. If ref doesn't blow the whistle UCONN gets an open shot, or at the very least Iowa defense is thrown off and UCONN has advantage due to non-call. People need to stop being selfish which is what saying, "I wanted the play to continue" is." Foul is a foul no matter when it happens. Good and right call period
Terrible play call by Uconn, trapped in the corner with 4 seconds to shoot a 3 when you only need 2
Yeah, that’s the irony of the foul. It didn’t create any advantage for UConn, and Stuelke had Paige pretty well covered. Seemed like a lot of fancy action for such a high pressure situation.
or a pick and roll setup
Shooting a 3?? did you not see Paige setting up Aaliyah when she drew the double team? .. They literally ran the same play a couple plays before those last secs. It was great game unfortunately Iowa took that big lead in start mid 4th qt and it was UConn coming back (which they did) and came down till that last play. Ref should have just let it play .. Either way, its looking like SC will remain undefeated.

Uconn has noone to blame but themselves. Even when they called the foul on Edwards they still didn't box out at the free throw line. Which could have changed the game and not to mention they blew a 15point lead.
Just a total 💩show down the final stretch for both teams. It was right call on the lean in on screen but there was plenty of worse calls throughout the night then that. At least it was the right call and not a huge controversial foul that was unseen and called and found to be non existent on replays.

Moving Screen. No doubt about it. Right in front of the Referee. No disrespect to Ms. Edwards who was playing hard, but it was obviously the correct call.

It’s the sold it part for me…but the refs ignore it when the other team commits the foul

Marshall had to get out of the way of Edwards' elbow or her teeth gets knocked out. Maybe a broken eye socket or fractured cheek bone.
I didn't watch the game so I was surprised that U Conn's players seemed happy , like no foul was called ,even though CLEARLY there was .Those of you who think there was no foul are blind .

Moving screen
When you screen, your supposed to have both arms straight down. That was a left forearm. Good call.
The ending was disappointing, but I’ll continue to watch this growing sport over MLB any day of the week.
This was an incredibly entertaining tournament. With one huge game left!

It was absolutely a moving screen! Unfortunate? Yes. A foul? Yes! Ref HAD to call it.
Everyone justifying the call is talking about the moving feet on the screen, but isn't the obvious violation that her elbows are stuck out away from her torso to make contact? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not claiming to be a rules expert by any means.
It was a foul for both reasons. It was just obvious.
The elbow was definitely extended
Ding, ding, ding.
Both. She moved her whole body and even raised her elbow up into the face of the defender to make it even more obvious.
@@tykemorris A couple hours ago on tiktok I saw a from a fan video who was sitting on that side of the court. It would have been the same angle as the ref. It was unbelievably obvious how much of a foul it was.

The whole game was full of stupid moments, on both sides. What a ragged game. SC must be licking their chops.
I watched it in slo mo 12 times, didn't see the elbow come up, actually held pretty close to the body. But I did see the knees bent and pointed at like 45 degrees out, the left knee sticking pretty far out, and the body moving to the left, which I think was the source of the foul.
Honestly, slow motion is deceptive. In normal speed you can see the deliberate movements into the defender. The wideshot in the first view is the best angle. Both the legs, the body and then the elbow shot up. Not even close.
Refs decided the game on several occasions... the foul call on the layup where no one touched her changed the entire game.
That was not a bad call at all! From all the whining I expected it to be nothing. It was a CLEAR offensive foul. LOL Jackass no-nothings of UA-cam basketball. The same level of stupidity from the 'experts' on ESPN.
Iowa turned the ball over 12 times in first half, iowa couldnt pass successfully or get inside , entire first half, uconn had em shut down. But iowa restratedgized and held on to win.
They weren’t gonna let Caitlyn Clark lose even tho she was shut down most of the game! She really thought she was curry just jacking up 3’s and got 2-10 lol

0:05...sorry sports fans that's a moving pick.
watching the not zoomed in slow motion you can see her basically step/jump into the defenders path, not even close to a legal screen, more like a football block
Iowa got to the freethrow line 14 times to UConn's 4. That's a big discrepancy.
Because they penetrate the rim. Whole the UConn they don't. Simple is that. Accept it.
That's because they grow Corn in Iowa.. and have Field of Dreams baseball diamonds and stuff... It's all so warm and fuzzy.
watch it in slo-mo and far at a wide enough camera angle to see her feet. SHE WAS MOVING. AND WATCH THE SHOULDER AND ELBOW. the espn announcer says 'barely leaning' and then says 'ouch' when she sees that gabby almost got decapitated by the move! that announcer should be fired. if that wasn't called and a unsuccessful 3 was put up and there was a barely noticeable foul, that same announce would be on the opposite opinion in a heartbeat. such prejudice.
You don’t call a foul like that in the final 10 seconds you let the game play out
Especially when it wasn't called all game
That is why I wait to do my Grayson Allen/tripping .. Til the last 10 seconds.
Then why call any fouls..plenty of rough play in game
@@alanc745 I don’t get your point sir
This happens on a lot of plays throughout any basketball game at every level. Bold to call that at this point in the game.
That’s such a bad call! Glad that Iowa won but, UConn should have gotten a look on this w/o an egregious whistle like that. ❤
Her foot was literally in the air when contact was made. How can you argue that was a set screen?
Easy foul call
@@Injambenand she threw a wicked elbow initiating cotact.
Full speed looks like a moving screen
