UConn's UNFAIR catch

its funny cause thats not a fair catch single. rasing your hand in the air does not count as a fair catch. and they just gave up on the play should have just went after him instead of jawing with the ref.

@cable171 any movement by the hand in an upward direction is considered a fair catch signal buddy

i think the waving motion iswhat makes it a fair catch not a hand in the air cause i see player put the hand in the air. and o point does he put his hand in a waving motion. hey im not hating im just saying what i see.

c. A valid or invalid fair catch signal deprives the receiving team of the
opportunity to advance the ball, and the ball is declared dead at the spot
of the catch or recovery or at the spot of the signal if the catch precedes
the signal (Rule 6-5-1-a Exception).

ARTICLE 3. An invalid signal is any signal by a player of Team B that does
not meet the requirements of a valid signal (Rule 6-5-3).

All im gonna say is Louisville has no discipline cuz u gotta play til the whistle blows and this is just payback for a coupleopf years ago when they blew the call that favored louisville

no, that was not an accidental wave. Watch again. Also if I was head coach I'd order the next punt to be short, and clobber that guy before he even get the ball.

That was so shady... no freaking respect for the game.

excuse me ifyu waVE over your face and head it a fair catch every body knows that who return punts i dont even return punts and i no that

His hand went up, waved and caught the ball. That move is to there protect the receiver.
You may see it the other way and I respect your opinion, but when I watched the vid it looked like he intentionally waved but when the ref didn't call the play dead he took advantage, and that's a lack of integrity on his part (and following the rules). And I have seen enough football to know that any wave over the head count as fair catch. In that split second ref gotta call fair catch, again for protection

Maybe, maybe not. Just like KILLA23456789 said, if you do ANY kind of signals like that, it's a fair catch and should've been called. I don't think it was really shady though. What coach would risk such a costly penalty to try a move like that? I still think it's from loss of balance, but it should've been called.

Yeah because UCONN is a bunch of sissies and the only way they can win is to cheat
