Exactly ... Saying that they missed it is not a rip on these officials. They are in a VERY tough spot with this call. This is why we have a monitor now in college - because of plays like this. If they had been able to go to a monitor they would have counted the shot, no doubt in my mind.

Brad,
I guess my eyes are going....
I haven't seen anything...regular speed....slow motion...or even frame by frame, that shows the ball "clearly" away from the shooters hand before the light/horn goes off.
In fact, the frame by frame pics shows the blurry ball and the blurry shooting hand, with his fingers POINTING back at him in the classic shooting pose, in frame 10. I just don't see the ball away from the hand "clearly" in that frame.
Sure, the next frame has the ball away...but, the light is already on.
Again, I haven't seen/heard any clear evidence that the ball is away and the light on....or horn sounded.
I'm with JR...tough call...can't fault officials either way.
