re: Wilkinson had position

The initial foul could have. That stuff happens all the time under the goal. They were hooking each other. What transpired after that was absolutely stupid. Not only did Wilkinson hook him after the initial contact by Arky player, but he held on and actually tried to pull him down. It was so obvious it couldn't be overlooked. To the refs credit, they called a few bad charges early in the game with Williams defending for arkansas. In the second half, all the calls went against him and he fouled out. It was a physical game, but you can't take someone down, and you can't hack someone with the ball at the end in that situation. Period.
