Allen lost all benefit of the doubt a long time ago. You reap what you sow.

Like I tell guys in the trenches during a football game (as the Umpire)... Don't make me have to make a decision, because you might not like the decision I make.

Play #4:

Check out Wake Forest's, Greg McClinton's three pointer on a baseball pass as time expires in the first half. Nothing but net.

They said it's the only three pointer he's EVER made in college! Clearly gone.....

Terrible defense by the Hokies. They left him wide open.

UVa-Pitt 10:24 2H. UVa defender is straight up, Pitt player turns into him and foul is called on UVa

If Play #1, in the OP, is a travel, then college teams would score approximately 15 points a night.

I don't think it is even a travel by the most strict application of the rule (both feet came down at the same time so he gets to pick the pivot). So, yeah, I agree that if you call things travels that are not, scoring will suffer badly.

1:08 1H UVa/ND. UVa defender "reaches in," makes contact with only the ball and pokes it away and is called for a foul.

I think you can argue from that last angle that 33 White moved his torso into the ball-handler. I didn't really notice it during the broadcast.

If it was a pass as time expires, then wouldn't the ball become dead immediately?

What does the rule say?

Actually, who cares? If a player throws the ball one handed in the direction of the basket as time's expiring, tell me one official who would consider it anything but a try?

It was clearly a pass to the VT player who inbounded the ball.

Wait, I'm a baseball umpire and don't work basketball. Oh, and Im a VT grad. No, not a fan boy hear. Move along nothing to see. ;^)

Exactly. Not to mention the closest teammate to where he threw the ball was over 50 feet away. I'd say that was NOT a pass by any stretch of the imagination.

Answering a question with a question. Nice. Don't you know the rule Rich?

Presuming grunewar is an official, that would be one. grunewar said it was a pass. Did you not read the post, lol? Maybe we should review the 2-point vs 3-point deflected pass thread. There will be some officials there that consider the ball being thrown in the direction of the basket anything but a try, lol.
