Can we can agree to disagree Bmartin? Woah woah woah...can't be having this. You two have to argue until one of you leaves the board. Its the new style of culling Hoyatalk membership. Every argument starts with 2 and ends with 1.

I've never seen teams give away gift goals in high-level soccer. And I definitely do not see the teams that benefit from undeserved penalties after diving in the box go and give the goal back intentionally on the other end. But again, if teams have traded gift goals a few times in soccer, so what? It is not part of basketball and this was a basketball game. Seton Hall was not expected to back off but it was a very nice gesture that they did so. It would have been a great gesture for Georgetown to do the same, but it should not be expected. How many times have you seen a kid who gave up a sport due to heart problems be given a waiver to play in a high major college basketball game? The moment for Tyler was great for him and the program but while he was on the court it wasn't a "normal" game, it's unfair to expect the SH players to play him like any other opponent.. I disagree that SH wasn't expected to back off, I would have been crazy mad if they played Tyler like he was Josh or Mikael.. Can we can agree to disagree Bmartin? I would never have expected them to bang him around like Josh, but they could have at least put a guy on him to play some soft defense, let him go around the guy for a layup. I don't think a little nudge on defense to make it feel a little like a real situation would be any more dangerous to Tyler than going up for a dunk. Anyway, it was still a special moment, a great memory for Tyler. Now let's let him help us hoist the BET trophy!
