Hmm, isn't he high-profile?? And he didn't know the mechanic...interesting...

Not only that but he blew the call. The UT player did NOT move much at all. The left only move a matter of inches to the left and the right foot then stepped arcoss it, to the left, a couple of feet. No way he left the 3 foot box.---And I'm a Kentucky fan. UT got short changed there.

Another official (I don't know his name) incorrectly called an over and back when the Vols through in from under their basket and the ball grazed their player's hands before he retrieved it in the backcourt.

Had to be either Jim Burr, or Doug Shows. I KNOW Burr is high profile!! Don't know anything about Shows. So, considering the call was overturned, was it more important for that they got the call right? Or were they worried about hurting each other's feelings??

It was Doug Shows that made the initial (incorrect) call.

...but Dick Vitale was going off on the replay saying he got the call right.

What did you expect from Dickie V.? He was a coach...we all know coaches don't know the rules!!! 
|
While he doesn't know them all, he knows the rules better than most.
Another blown call in that game that also went against UT was the traveling called by Jim Burr where a UT player dove for a lose ball and slid as he controlled it. A travel was called while he was still sliding.
It's calls like these that are not correct that make our lives more difficult than they ought to be.
