Um, where may I confirm that a whistle had actually blown and the clock was dead? Am I to believe the conspiracy fanboys that are posting that? Or do I believe a valid, trusted source like Dan?
Afaik, the officials simply followed rule 2-5-1(f). That's what the R, Hess, seemed to say in his statement. He timed the sequence from last touched in-bounds to first touching OOB, and took that time off the clock. I agreed with the way Hess handled it.
All I'm asking is for one of the experienced, wise NCAA officials like yourself, Scrappy, to edjumucate me. If it really did happen the way that you are saying it did, and you were in Hess' shoes, what would you do? What is the proper way,
by rule, to deal with the play
if the whistle had gone, as claimed,
before the ball touched OOB?
Again, an A&M throw-in is followed by (1)a Memphis player, or (2) an A&M player legally touching but not controlling the ball the ball in-bounds. The ball is going OOB, but has not touched anything OOB when an official blows his whistle.
Questions:
1) Is that an IW?
2) If it isn't an IW, then what is it?
3) How do you handle this play if an A&M player was the last player to legally touch the ball in-bounds on the throw-in?
4) How do you handle this play if a Memphis player was the last player to legally touch the ball in-bounds on the throw-in?
5) Who gets the ball in both #3 and #4 above if (a)Memphis has the arrow, or (b) A&M has the arrow.
All I'm asking is that you please share your rules knowledge with myself and others. I might even agree with you when you're done.
Much appreciated.
