Great job of getting together...
by the crew in the Ohio State-Michigan game.
OSU is pressing, and Hightower is counting as the T. Michigan tries a cross-court pass, and Evan Turner deflects the ball and it goes out of bounds in the backcourt. The shot clock showed 24.
Matta was yelling for a 10-second violation. The officials got together and ruled that the deflection by Turner did not establish team control for OSU, thus not resetting the shot clock.
On my DVR I can slow TV down to quarter speed, and the replay showed the shot clock hitting 24 right as the ball went OOB. They ruled a 10 second violation and gave the ball to OSU.
Watching Hightower, he stopped counting at 9, which was when the deflection took place.
EDIT: Hightower explained the call to Lavin, who then pretended on-air to know what Hightower was talking about.
Interesting play. I'm assuming they can use the shot clock to gauge the 10 second count if they need to?
