[QUOTE=JRutledge]He is calling you a fanboy not because you are rooting for Texas A&M. He is calling you a fanboy because you are coming from a point of view of a fan and not an official's point of view (which is the same opinion of your posts).




The fact that you have only worked basketball for 4 years says a lot. You do not have the experience in my opinion (based on your current answers as well) to know what they "should have done." I do work college basketball and I have never had a media game to use a monitor, but your opinion is very flawed. You are not going to ever have a couple of tenths come off a clock if the clock was started properly. Then again, you are just a rookie in many officials’ eyes. I will just consider the source.

I have worked games with a monitor and have reviewed the guidelines(we're required to). I timed the play myself from touch to when it touched out of bounds and came up with with 1 second even off the clock. I only did it once and I saw the officials had a stopwatch. They are supposed to use it in just such an instance and detrmine how much time elapsed. I'm sure they ran it 3 times and took the average. Very nice job!!!
