Logic being is that in those type of situations to let the players decide and not a little violation from the ref to decide the game.

We've been through a million discussions on this point. If a player commits a violation and the ref doesn't call it because he (or she) "wants the players to decide the game" then actually he (or she) is deciding the game - not the players - by not making a call that that is a standard call.

On the other hand, I thought it was cool that Oregon State won the game since one of my granddaughters is a student there (freshman).

Not sure why the Lead is counting this shot.

Perhaps because it was a throwin with 3.3 seconds from 94' away and the crew knew the T would have very little chance of getting a good look at the shot (and potentially the C as well) so they made plans to have the L cover anything well into the FC.

For those of you on the NCAAM's side of things, please let us know if Art Hyland posts anything about this play. I have a feeling he might, both from the travel aspect and the timing aspect...especially since the timing memo only came out last week.
