Why is lead on the weak side the entire time?

Technically, he was the trail. The team that had the ball through most of it was in their backcourt. That said, it would have still been better to get over there instead of being a spectator.

Ah, I see....was watching on my phone earlier.

Now I want to know what new lead is counting....


Also, not having a held ball or a travel here is pretty bad. 33 Red appears to take about 7 steps before dribbling...several of which happen with an opponents hands also on the ball.

I don't the officials are going to be happy when reviewing the video.

Good point. I didn't notice that.

Or one of of several fouls. That was far from clean or incidental.

I think that at least part of the crew (if not all of them) they got really confused about something given, as you pointed out, the new center was still deep in the backcourt and counting something when only the new trail should have had some sort of count.

Mid-American Conference suspends two officials for missing call during Ball State-Eastern Michigan game

2 of the officials have been suspended. I think most everyone who sees it will agree that this play needed a whistle...and it probably could have been for 1 of 3 or 4 different things.

I am not convinced what the whistle would have been? I am thinking held ball, but the angle they showed has players blocking the ball. I am wondering if that was the issue.
