Bryan Kersey had the initial call, as well as the video review. He had the shot but not the red backboard light, based on his stance/view. Using the buzzer alone makes it a difficult call.

What went through my mind when I saw this clip was that I bet NCAA officials across the land, unfortunately, had a very crisp pre-game that particularly dealt with officiating until the end.

Can you imagine a second crew not working til the last buzzer?
Y.U.P. That would have been ugly. At least the Big East deal didn't cost somebody a tournament bid, and pretty much died since the crew didn't work again and St Johns got beat the next game.
