BTW - do they have a special rule for the Final Four in which they do not make 3 second calls? I saw players on both teams in the lane for 5 and 6 seconds on many occasions and there was one time with about 6 1/2 minutes to go when I counted a Memphis player in the lane for at least 9 seconds.

Some officials have a slow count, about 1-1/2 seconds. But I was watching and counting when one of the big Memphis guys was on the lane line for three+, but then stepped farther in and got whistled. Had he gone for a step away, it prolly woulda been no-called.
