Video request: Utah State at St. Mary’s

[Nevadaref]

Second half about 9 minutes remaining. Official Bob Staffen smashes into a Utah State player who has just made a steal.
Please post this sequence.

Dave Hall stopped the play and the ball was awarded to USU via the arrow after a video review.

I don’t agree with the decision. I have St. Mary’s ball according to POI.

My first foray into posting clips. I have St. Mary's ball as well via POI. I think they saw it was Utah State's possession on the AP arrow and took the path of least resistance.

Ouch. When Hall blew the play dead, St. Mary's had possession.

Good reminder to not get too quick to go up the court during a possession change as new T.

It's not about fear of hustling. It's more about being able in position. No need to get that high that quickly.

I re-watched the video, and I can't find any fault in how the ref reacted other than be in his 50s. I'm 25, and while I can still juke, I'd likely clip the player on that steal.

What exactly do you want the Trail to do here? Utah gets the board and the ref waits to leave until the player starts to dribble up the court. A quick steal off a lazy pass and bam, Mr.Ragland Sleeves gets on ESPN.

I don't know if you work college, but they are pushing refs to be a step behind or even with the ball handler when they are coming up the court. It leads to situations like this, but if he doesn't do it, he might still end up on one of the training videos as "One of the refs who isn't following directions".

I’m not going to be scared to hustle as new T when something like this happens once a decade. Poop just happens sometimes. Glad he was ok.

After that, this is a simple POI decision and I’m sad that they kicked such a simple rule. Reminds me of when I got scolded at a camp five years ago for not using the arrow in a similar situation. There are many veteran officials who still don’t fully understand the POI concept, and evidently many of them are D1 officials and camp clinicians (or both). Sigh.
