Jim Burr (R) was the C in this play and I think it was Mark Whitehead (U1-?) was the T in this play.

The C and T were in good positions for this 3 pt attempt and normally, the T is primary for the 3pt attempt from were it was attempted. But the T was screened by a UK-2 player and the C was straigt lined with respect to MSU-1 defending against the shooter (UK-1). The C signaled a 3 pt attempt immediately upon the release by UK-1.

I think that MSU-1 could have been called for a foul against UK-1, BUT, I think the correct call was to not call a foul because the C did not have the best look at it.

I thought it was ironic that the C was the R in the game and had to make the yes or no decision on his own call, but I also think that Burr and Whitehead did a good job in taking their time and getting it correct.

I say this, because I am not the biggest Jim Burr fan, because I think that he can be a real arrogant SOB (boy do I resemble that remark).
