That seemed to be the opinion of the announcers, too. But I would like to have a debate about this with the video. I don’t remember this being “bang bang.” The horn sounded mid-flight, then the try missed the rim. Plenty of time to process and then whistle the violation. I think this was a deliberate bending of the rule by the crew. Maybe this is something the assignor wants done in the Big Ten?
There’s no doubt a call here would have been a game interruptor. I’m just wondering if by bending the rules it’s not the top of a slippery slope?
