Jay went on to say that because the foul prevented the Purdue player from releasing the ball prior to the expiration of the clock, that is why the basket was counted.

At least he was backing up the officials.

Point taken.

No, Bilas was attacking the officials last night and saying they screwed it up.
He was trying to quote the rule about continuation, and saying that college does not have continuation and that is why the basket did not count.
Now, I might have missed it but he didn't really say that it should NOT have counted because the clock went off before he released the shot. He was trying to tie it into a theory about continuation.
But his bottom line was that the officials messed up badly and that the play was not reviewable by consulting the TV monitor which the officials did in error - according to him.
I didn't see the play so I didn't know exactly what had happened.
Thanks

He may have been attacking the officials LAST NIGHT, 1/18, but on the day of the game, 1/15, he was at the game, calling the game, and was supporting what the officials did.

Let's see, what do they say, hindsight is 20/20.
Bilas takes the bait.
Thanks
