Video request: NU/Mich 1-and-1 confusion
Can someone (Rut?) post the sequence around that Michigan FTA late in the second half where none of the players move on the front-end miss? Maybe 4-5 minutes to go in the game.
I recall C raising his hand to chop in a possible miss but would like to see how everything was handled before and during, with signaling 1-and-1 (not 2 shots), etc. Players definitely blew it, and Michigan got ball back on the arrow. Of course the commoners' belief is that the officials somehow blew it. Sigh. |

He looks like he thinks it is two shots by the way he enters the lane. Peace |
Here is the video.

It's been a long season for Mr. Wymer. Clearly signals 2 shots. Too bad Szelc or Steretore couldn't catch it.
It's been a rough season for the B1G staff. Michigan State vs. Florida Gulf Coast clock starting early, Indiana vs. Purdue blarge, this. |

Thanks, Rut. Definitely an ouch moment for crew. That "2 shots" signal is clear as L backs out of the lane.
And you're right about Bardo. He was really pretty on it, as was the other announcer who said it would be a 1-and-1 right after the call. I remember Collins mouthing "But we got the rebound!" which I thought was bogus at the time, but turns out to be true in the most technical of senses, though it was still an actionless rebounding scenario. By the way, my "commoners" comment was about the officemates. I was their interpreter today. |

Was that Elaine from Seinfeld? It shows how everyone can lose focus and screw up. There is a human element to our profession that can't be fixed. I wonder if there are any ramifications from their assignor/evaluator.

My thoughts from the couch:
I don't like that call coming from the L. I think he should have been more patient and gave the C first crack at that. I think 2 shots should have been awarded. He clearly signals 2 shots before putting the ball at the disposal of the FT shooter. The C, who was obviously the calling official, looks like he's ready to start the clock after the 1st FT so he clearly knew it should have been 1-1. He must not have seen the L indicate 2. But again, its clear that the L did indicate 2 shots. |

I find it interesting that the administering official, being the one who had primary coverage on the drive, thought it was 2. I think there is a good case for arguing that it should have been 2 all along. Perhaps he thought it was obviously a 2 and never say the lead indicate otherwise. |

TW absolutely indicated two shots to the players along the lane before administering the FT.
Someone can post a still photo from the video about the 26 second mark. He holds up two fingers with his right hand next to where the BTN logo is on the screen. |
Whether or not it should have been a shooting foul, the Lead clearly wipes off the shot and points to the spot of the foul, so the administering official should have known it wasn't 2 free throws.
The Lead had no reason to put a whistle on that play. The ball was outside the paint on the C's side of the court, near the free throw line, and the C had an open look on the play. The Lead should have left that play to the C. |
How is that not a shooting foul? He had ended his dribble and was jumping off of one foot when the illegal contact occurred. The jumping foot was still in contact with the floor, but does that matter in college? Under NFHS rules that's an easy shooting foul, is it not?
Moving on, you definitely cannot put this one on a lack of communication on the part of the calling official. He emphatically said no shot and pointed at the floor. The administering official must have just zoned out and because it was clearly a shooting foul just went with it. They have to go to the arrow in this case since all players were told it was 2 shots. A bad look for sure. |

The NCAAM standard is upward motion. If the L said it's before the shot (and he does so VERY CLEARLY), then it's before the shot. |

But agree completely on the L's whistle. I don't mind him coming in later but he doesnt appear to give the C a chance to ref the play right in his lap. Quote:
I'm just offering my opinion from the couch that I don't agree with it. I think its the Cs play all the way and would prefer that the L be more patient. And on this type of play, I'd prefer to award 2 shots to the offense. Again, JMO. |

Except they're being held to a much more strict standard in college men's -- no benefit of the doubt going to the shooter certainly. Lead is king. :) |
A little off topic, but are the college administration of FTs different than NFHS?
The lead made the call and appears then go switch with the C opposite table and the C administers the FT. In NFHS, the calling official is staying tableside as T and T is administering these FTs |

Open looks are important at every level and once the ball's in the paint, the L shouldn't be looking away....

As a Michigan fan who was at work officiating volleyball instead of watching the game like I wish I had been, I will comment on this.
First, looking at the replay from above, at about 1:55 of the video, you can the foul is prior to the shot. I think 1-1 is the correct call on this foul. I think the lead did screw up by signally two shots. NW's player taps the ball to the official, but does not secure possession of the ball after the first / missed attempt. Then the official secures it at which point it is now a dead ball situation. Since no team had possession of the ball when it become dead, the only recourse was what the officials did, go to the arrow. This was a screw up by the officials, but also by the players as well. That ball bounced long enough for either team to secure it on a 1-1 situation, and neither did. The much bigger screw up was with under 2 seconds left. If you have a big guy to put on the inbounder, put him on the inbounder and don't allow the perfect pass that was thrown to allow the layup at the buzzer to beat you. |
