Duke/Kansas OOB in Last Minute

[thedewed]

it is a great point that OOB is always called out on a1 if b1 is holding the ball and a1 pokes it, and that is the way it should be, but if you had super slo mo to review it, it's actually going to be touched last by a1 probably half the time. the other problem is when good officials pass on a gray over the back and give the possession on a rebound contest that goes out of bounds to the team with inside position, on review that's going to be a problem because the foul can't then be called. So officials that do that have to be more careful in the last 2 minutes to go ahead and call the foul.

Calling travel on a player pivoting that keeps the front part of his foot within an inch of the base of his toes isn't appropriate in my opinion, it is, after all, a pivot foot. That travel on KU you are talking about, player didn't lift his foot, pivoted a few times nervously but I don't think it was a travel

Sometimes A1 pokes it away, but B1 might try to grasp the ball heading out of bounds. If B1 misses, it's B's ball. If B1 lightly touches it, it's A's ball.

With Aunt Mary recording every play in her nephew's fourth grade game, in regard to out of bounds plays, the days of officials, on any level, calling what's fair (or accepted) rather than what's factual are long gone.

To those of us who may want to go back to the good old days, wake up, and smell the coffee (or view it on video replay).
