The officials may have been distracted by the glowing light and not concerned with whether or not the ball went in on time.
The basket was consequently allowed and the UA lost the game by two points."
Honestly, I just want things to get better. I understand that officials have one of the hardest jobs in the world, but I think we need some replacements in the PAC 10.

And why is that a blown call??? It makes no difference when the ball goes in - only that the shot had left the player's hands before the red light came on...see, that's the problem here. You say these are bad calls, and those are bad calls, but you don't know what the rules are any better than our buddies Dick Vitale, Enberg, Rafftery, and the other commentators you get your info from...the Pac-10 hires some of the best officials in the country, and you come here complaining about them??? That makes a lot of sense...
