Texas v Arizona game - 5 second call
So I am clearly a Texas fan. The question I have is on the 5-second call at the end of the game?
After a timeout, Texas is inbounding the ball and at about 4.5 seconds, the inbounder goes to call a timeout. The ref, who has just started his fifth arm swing, stops his count and immediately calls a five-second violation.
The TNT announcer said after the game it was the right call because you can't call a timeout after four seconds. Maybe he said after the ref starts his fifth arm swing.
In any event, sounds strange to me. Can somebody help me understand?
I'm not bitter, just curious. Obviously NCAA rules.
Thanks in advance.
