Lights go out during close play
As a neutral fan, I am very curious as to your opinions on how this was handled. There are two videos embedded in the article

I really do not understand why they did not just stop play. I honestly do not get that at all. This is one of the most critical parts of the game. The officials did not do this themselves. Stop play and put the ball in play where the incident took place and let the result take place. No different than a fan coming onto the court or some other unfortunate stoppage.
Peace

I agree (at least in general terms) with the conference statement: (someone else can insert the statement instead of just the link)

Unfortunate Stoppage ...
7.1.2 SITUATION C: A1 is dribbling in Team A’s backcourt when the ball is deflected by B1. The ball gets away and contacts a child who is (a) walking inbounds (on the playing court); The official sounds the whistle. RULING: In (a), the ball is not out of bounds since the person contacted, the child, was inbounds. However, for safety reasons the official should stop play and resume from the point of interruption. Team A, the team last in control, will be awarded a throw-in at a spot nearest to where the ball was located when play was interrupted. (4-36; 7-2-1)

I don't know that there is any remedy. Sun Belt officials now know explicitly what they should do in the future. The officials used poor judgment in the situation, but Little Rock was not prevented from still executing a play and getting off a shot.

What remedy could they offer?
And this isn't like a situation that many have ever encountered, particularly with 5 seconds left in a game. Yes, they should have handled it differently. But, with 5 seconds on the clock, and an event that was completely unexpected, I don't put much blame on the officials. They had to decide to kill it or not kill it in 1-2 seconds. Once they let it play out, I'm not sure they could go back and replay the 5 seconds.

Blackout ...

I'm just speculating, and, BTW, I am not blaming the officials, simply responding to the conference's determination that an error had occurred. Last edited by LRZ; Sat Jan 09, 2021 at 02:55pm. |

Do-Over ...
Do-overs are seldom legally allowed, and thus, quite rare in high school basketball, they are also probably quite rare in college basketball as well.
Not like when we were kids playing "pitcher's hand" baseball in the sandlot. Note: "Pitcher's hand" was a rule set that allowed us to play baseball with a lot fewer than eighteen players. Batters could only hit the ball to their pull field, and instead of throwing a ball to first base on a ground ball, the fielders would throw the ball to the pitcher (acting as a first baseman). Lots of do-overs prevented lots of fights, and prevented the kid with the ball, or the bat, or a glove, from quitting and going home.

If a replay would not be "legally allowed," please cite a rule barring a 5-second replay in these highly unusual circumstances.
I am not saying the five seconds should be replayed, but I am not convinced that it could not be done. I'm completely ignorant about NCAA in general and Sun Belt rules in particular; the closest HS rule I can think of is 5-4-3, if the situation would be treated as a protest: "The NFHS Basketball Rules Committee does not recognize protests." So my question ("why not") remains, not to be argumentative, but to get a reasonable answer. My last contribution to this thread. Last edited by LRZ; Sat Jan 09, 2021 at 03:17pm. |

Clocks Operated Properly ...
Quote:
Like they allowed the game to continue and the clock to run when they missed a travel call or a foul call earlier in the game. No do-overs allowed in this situation. If they allowed the do-over, then the other team would be complaining, and probably rightfully so.
