Well i am a TOL fan as i'm sure you know...i talked with Bryan Redic after the game and asked him about that play where he tripped combs. He didnt grab his ankle...it was accidental. Redic even had the decency to help Combs up off the floor...just as he did when he knocked Little down while wrestling for a loose ball. Redic is 205 lbs. While Combs looks like he might be 160. With a 45 lb weight advantage, of course Redic tossed him around. Basketball isnt a contact sport, but that doesnt mean it isnt physical. Combs was being very physical with Redic and Redic was being physical as well. If a foul should have been called, it should have been a double foul on both of them. But it was the refs decision to let them play. So if the fans dont want Combs to be thrown around like a "rag doll", then tell the coaches not to put him on a MAN that has 45 lb. on him.
