UK vs Vandy..travel or held ball or nothing

If my memory is correct, game today UK vs Vandy at the end of 1st overtime UK down 2 with ball. Player drives to the left block, goes up, looks like ball may have been touched, and then offensive player comes back down with it and sort of releases ball into a dribble as he lands. Then goes back up and scores. After that Vandy throws a heave at buzzer and game goes to second OT. Official was right there on top of play so he might have seen something that you couldn't see from TV but I thought it was either a travel or a held ball? Anyone else see it.

Didn't see it, but the official may have ruled it a blocked shot; depending on when it was actually released. From your description, though, I'd agree with your ruling.

And why was Vandy playing Britain in the middle of the season? Were they using metric rules? Maybe that had an affect on the ruling.

It's was hard to tell what exactly happened to the ball after it was blocked, but the Lead was looking directly at the play. And actually that player did not score. He badly missed the lay-up when he went back up and someone else on Vandy got the rebound and layed it in with 1.8 seconds remaining to tie the score.

Plus, the trapezoidal ball must have confused the official. He probably wasn't wearing one of those trapezoidal FEEBLE patches.

I saw a play that sounds like the one being discribed. It kind of looked like a block that was knocked out of his hands a little. Also understand that the college interpretation has been a little different than NF rules. The NCAA wanted the shooter to come down with completely control of the ball rather than being stopped at the top of the shot like they do in HS. I believe that was in their S&I book that they no longer make and maybe there is a differnet interpretation in their new casebook.

Peace
