I guess you missed one of the best NCAA games ever, but I'll bet EVERY Kentucky fan will disagree about never seeing a perfect full court pass for a last second shot.

Well actually, if I recall there was a camera angle that was from the baseline. It was clear as day from the baseline that the whether he got the shot off in time. If anything the Lead official in this case had several players around the basket. The only two players in the back court were Grant Hill and player near half court from what I remember. I saw the game live when it happen, I have seen the replay hundreds of times by now. I saw nothing that suggested that the Trail or Center could not see the shot. If anyone had more of an obstructed view, it was the Lead Official. Actually that very example is the reason I hold the philosophy that I do. No one has to be standing right in front of a play to see the play.
