a confession
I personally have been guilty of not making calls because
"it's just about over." But this was at the end of jr. high
games with large point differentials. Even in these cases
when you start not calling things invariably there is more time left than you thought. When this happens you let another thing go because you let the first thing go and, by golly, those last 3 or 4 seconds can become an eternity.
With this in mind is it not evident that a "no whistle right at the buzzer" philosophy is unacceptable in any close game, let alone in a game of this magnitude? I say that if this collision goes without a call and it turns out to be at the 00:01.2 mark rather than at the 00:00.2 mark we would have heard an equal or even greater reaction from the Tennessee side.
