Great point here. We have 8 payers in the back court and a trap with 20 seconds left and the C is no where to be found. That being said I agree with not granting a timeout, unless the Iowa state player getting trapped verbally said timeout before the held ball. By the time the Iowa player in the lane calls time out, it appears there is already a held ball.
Minnesota defenders foot on the line should have been gotten. This is something that would have been easier to get if the C didnt vacate.
Clip 1: Easy travel. Did the pivot foot leave the ground before the dribble started? Obviously. However if Im the Lead i'm going to let my partner die with that one.
