NCAA Tournament Video Requests

[JRutledge]

This is another year of the tournament. I just wanted to make a few things clear as it relates to the tournament.

First of all, subscribe to my page "Officiating Born" on YouTube. This is the page where all the videos that are requested here come from.

Secondly, I will be out of town on Thursday through Sunday morning. I will not be able to immediately get all the video in a timely manner. So please bear with me on the requests this weekend. Next weekend I will likely be available much more.

Thirdly, if you make a request, be very specific. If you do not give the game the teams are playing, the time or near time, the situation that you want to be reviewed, I cannot find the play. I will not see many of these games from Thursday through Saturday, so I have no idea what you could be referring to or what was special about the play. I will do my best to find them, but any specifics help.

For example, Michigan vs. North Carolina, at 3:15 in the first half, Michigan player gets is called for a foul that looks like it was flagrant but was not called.

This kind of thing would be helpful. Do not assume I know what you are asking for or if I saw the game.

Finally, the CBS has come down hard on my page about some of the videos. The more popular situations or more controversial ones they have taken down the videos. I will try my best to post those situations if need be at a later date. This is a delicate balance because most situations they do not care about. But when it is a situation they posted in their highlights, they tend to get a little more worried about this and have YouTube bring them down. I do not want to lose the page but that is something I have to consider. So you should understand if these situations can be found on their NCAA page, that might be the best place to show them here. But the travel that was not called in the 14:58 mark usually is not what they care about. They tend to care when a Center calls an out of bounds on the end line and it probably was the call that helped decide the game.

Happy tournament to everyone. If you have any questions let me know. But I want to inform you of the challenges that come about with making the videos.

I am also not at this time doing NIT or other tournament games. Maybe later but not now. So this right now is only about the NCAA tournament.

Thanks for your time.

Peace
