Interesting out of bounds play (Video)

[JRutledge]

I would like to have a discussion on all aspects of this play. I will give my opinion later.

I thought it was weird live that C made the call. Call was correct but he didn't even give the lead a chance.

I do not think he made the call, the ball went out of bounds on the C's sideline. I think he was indicating he saw the player first.

Don't know where the Lead was, but pretty sure the C was calling OOB for the endline play. And he was arguing that the shot clock should be reset due to possession being established by the UNC player.

Center made the call because lead had nothing. C must have felt it was too obvious to let go. The last replay shows the whistle is blown and Ball is on court. He wasn't making a sideline OB call. They were likely talking also about whether, as someone said, the shot clock should reset.

This is really an odd play. Lead didn't think the ball was OOB. No whistle and He wasn't asking for help. It wasn't an OOB play where the ball ricochets off several people. Looking real speed I'm not so sure this play was sooo obvious that Center had to come in with a whistle.

It wasn't that obvious to the L. Put yourself in his spot. The L is on the farside of the endline. The UNC player has the ball on the right side of his body thus the L has an obscured/closed look of the ball. The L would most likely be guessing if the ball was still in the UNC player's hand when the foot landed. My supervisor instructed he would rather not call a violation that actually did occur than to call a violation that did not occur.

The shotclock should reset if the UNC player threw the ball back on the court (establishing team control) and play continued. Since the crew ruled the UNC landed on the court with the ball, no reset should occur.

The discussion, presumably, was about whether the shot clock should be reset based on Paige's play being considered "control." Did it stay at 16 when play resumed?

And it was definitely odd for the C to blow the Lead's endline. Maybe that was another aspect of the discussion.

Those were the two things that came to mind for me, but I'm sure I'm missing a few.
