I found Nebraska Coach Doc Sadlers comments on the play. Classy way of handling the situation.

Prior to Thursday’s practice, Nebraska head coach Doc Sadler was asked whether he thought senior guard Steve Harley was actually out of bounds while trying to make a save along the baseline in the final seconds of the Huskers’ loss to Texas A&M.

The call was that Harley stepped out of bounds with 5.4 seconds remaining while trying to save the ball after senior Ade Dagunduro threw the ball down court in an attempt to run out the clock.

As a result of the call, the Aggies got one last possession to win the game, and guard Josh Carter drained a 3-pointer as time expired to hand the Huskers a devastating 57-55 loss.

Anyway, here was Sadler’s response to the question:

“No, he was not,” he said. “He wasn’t on the line. But again, that doesn’t matter.”

Despite disagreeing on the crucial call, Sadler said he doesn’t blame the officials for the loss.

“We can sit here and talk about that, because it doesn’t do any good,” Sadler said. “It’s frustrating, but if you were to tell me we’d have a chance play Texas A&M again and we’re going to have those same three officials, I’d say I’d like to have them all 30 games. Those guys did a great job. It just didn’t go our way.”
