Yep, a great game.

As for the carry/palming call - didn't like it at the time, didn't like it on replay. Hadn't been called all game, wrong guy called it if it's going to be called...just didn't like it.

Me too, definitely not something that needed to be called at that point from where it was called. If it was a make-up, as Nevada thinks it might have been, it was heavy handed and wrong.

And I have also noticed some "weird" things - officials signalling the three point shot from way out of their areas, the C official stepping way up high and watching the point guard/defender way above the top of the key (while T is right there)...guys making calls out of their areas - just some weird things...

The only weird thing that sticks out for me is what Nevada brought up - the L signalling 3 then putting both arms up. Couldn't understand what that was about.
BTW, it's fun to chip away at these guys because we're used to constant criticism and self-evaluation, that's what we do to improve. But let's not lose sight of the fact that these are high pressure, high visibility games worked by the very best and they do a great job.

Don't get me wrong, Dan - other than the palming call, I haven't really disagreed with any calls - just saw some things that struck me as odd...these guys are doing a great job!
