What's caught my attention is the position of the officials. Look at where the Center is located. It is my belief if the Center was in proper position he would have seen all of the extra action which occurred in the lane. This is just my observation.

Good observation, if it's in his right spot, he's running in whistle blowing with a double foul and he's right there to clean it up before it gets started. When I see poor officiating like this, it gives me hope that one day I will get a chance.

Does anybody know how the situation was finally handled by the crew? It looked like as many as 3 Lobos came off the bench seeing as how I counted 8 white jerseys.

Regardless, this reminds me of a situation regarding HS ball, where we don't have the advantage of video replay to determine who threw punches or came off the bench. How do you guys handle this type of situation in 2 or 3-man mechanics. Obviously there is a strong desire to squash the fight, but how do you guys do so and still record #'s and observe the bench players? I've never really encountered a multi-player fight, so I guess it may just come down to instincts and adrenaline, but sometimes even the 1 on 1 fights can get pretty intense in terms of handling the situation.

I've had three flagrant situations. One was a single player as his opponent did not fight back. Calling the foul immediately helped in that regard, my partner was right on top of it.
The second was only two players, all by themselves. No one came crashing in, and no one left the bench.
The other was a little more complicated. My partner was on it calling an intentional (that's how it started until B1 finished of his bear hug with a take down on A1). The players started scuffling and I started hitting my whistle. I stayed back to watch numbers (I was lead table side, ball was backcourt during a press). A2 jumps into the fray. My partner was in the middle of it all, so I think it helped to have a cooler head outside it all observing and taking mental notes.

Good point, OS. Even really poor officials can hope! To hang any of this mess on the officials and judge them as poor is ludicrous. You didn't see the rest of the game to that point. You would not be man eough to jump in there and grab those hooligans like the refs did.

You're right, but it's not being a man jumping in there like that, it's being stupid. And that proves my point. I have a very good chance of making it when I see poor performances like this. Now if you want to jump in there and do that because you was late on the call an out of position. You go right ahead. I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the show, watching you get plummeted!!

This also proves my point about officiating. This referee reminded me of JR who's out there thinking of a case play and what rule describes this situation instead of being in his proper position to officiate the play. That's how come he's out of position. Good officiating is also about being in the right place at the right time. This know-how can not be learned from a book. It's like playing, you either got it or you don't. Basing an officials ability on how well he can quote a rulebook is also ludicrous, but you guys do me this way. How far am I back now? I believe it's the YWCA.

The C official here, should have been at the FT line extended and should have come in with a double foul, jump ball or possession arrow because the foul occur on the rebound, no team control, base line out. You see, didn't need a rulebook for that, don't need to refer to a case play either. Now go find that in the rulebook and come back and tell me how wrong I am again. I'll be waiting....and my name is old school, try not to get me confused with this jmo character.

Never heard that usage for 'plummeted' before. Then again, I have never heard applications for rules that you espouse before, either.

Let me help you out here a little bit, JMO. NCAA officials use a mechanics book. That tells them how to be in the right place at the right time. NFHS officials have their own mechanics book. That also tells them how to be in the right place at the right time. Rec league officials don't know that these previously mentioned mechanics books even exist, let alone the fact that there are actually such things like real live rule books also(). That's why they remain rec league officials forever and all time.

An NCAA official may occasionally be out of position. That may cost him sometimes too, as in a situation like this. That doesn't make him a poor official though. If he was a poor official, he would have been long-gone by now. Poor officials don't last at that level.

You aren't qualified to comment on any official, let alone a D1 official.

Nope. That won't work because he'll get "Schooled" by up and coming newbies.

OS, bad mouthing officials that have worked at least 2 final fours with one national championship game in the last 10 years isn't a great way to "move up" LOL....the guy who jumped in the middle of it, the one you said was out of position, has worked 2 final fours with one championship game that I know of since 2000....
