DU v SU game

I had the chance to watch this game and then again via DVR. I will try to explain it as best as possible. This all happened with 1:02 left in the game. Score is DenverU 73 SeattleU 77 Game is at DU.

Sit 1. - SU#21 fouls in back court. DU gets 2 FT's. SU#21 is subbed out after 1st FT. DU makes 2nd FT, DU subs in, there is a pause and SU#21 is subbed back into game. Ball is given to DU#00. T has started a 5 sec count, horn blows for approx 2 seconds (attempting to notify officials of SU#21's re-entry into game). Officials do not stop play, SU inbounds to player at mid-court as DU players stop playing, SU scores with less than 1 minute. Clock continues to run. Officials stop play and go to the monitor. DU coach is aware of the substitution. Officials confer with both coaches. DU 74 SU 79 time left is 58.6

DU scores with 48.0 - DU 76 SU 79 play continues

DU#32 fouls with 38.3 left - DU 76 SU 80 monitor and TO

DU#10 is fouled with 29.7 3 pt play - DU 79 SU 80

DU#5 fouls SU#5 but tries to get SU#21 to shoot FT's. This is an easy misunderstanding as SU#5 was fouled slightly after the pass. 21.0 left. DU 79 SU 82

DU scores 81 SU 82 - 11.3 left

Sit 2 - SU inbounds whle DU is chasing to foul. L official is helping near SU 3 pt line, ball is in middle of floor move away from the table and has penetrated to FT line and is pulling out to run clock. C has passed L and is looking where he is going to stop at the endline, but no one knows and now there are 2 L's and T is not yet in front court. DU#24 grabs SU#21 around the shoulders, no whistle with 5.1 still to go. SU#21 drives and C that over ran play now calls foul from baseline as does L from opposite baseline with 2.8. C reports and DU coach is about to go ballistic. While the crew goes to the monitor, DU is setting up their last play as they have no TO's left. The crew puts SU#21 on the line with 4.7.

SU#21 misses then makes. DU 81 SU 83.

DU throws to mid court where pass is made to DU player then tipped to DU#32 for a 3, and makes it with 1.2 left DU 84 SU 83. SU can't get shot off game over. Monitor review

DU coach is asked about the officiating and passes on the bait. Thought this was amusing.

This whole process takes 25:12 to conclude. Not that it is entirely relevant, but the first situation put the crew under the gun the rest of way. The crew really did a good job until this point.

I found it to be a useful learning situation that we all could benefit from even though most of us don't have access to a monitor. We need to be sure that the clock starts and stops properly, be aware of subs, stay focused.
