Gonzaga-Syracuse final minute

[dhsilver]

Officials got the call wrong by rule on the 10-second violation. Syracuse player was clearly in frontcourt and batted the ball with 21 on the shot clock. Gonzaga recovered the ball and should have gotten a new 10-seconds. Sirmons made the call on this one too. What a horrendous last 1:30 Sirmons had.

Actually the trail and the center both called the ten-second violation.

I am really surprised the Center did not help him out.

By mechanic anyone can make the 10 second call if they see it.

Peace

Totally agree. I was shocked when I saw the clip you posted in the thread I started that the C was also signalling the 10 second. Two tough misses for that crew in the closing moments. One call where you would hope the C comes in strong to save the crew and one where the C reached and burned the crew.

C wasn't at the proper angle to help. He was stepping away as the pass was going to the division line.

My guess is the L didn't have any definite knowledge. With the way the rule is now it's sometimes easier for the L to pick up some of this because they only have two - maybe three - players in front of them.
