WOW - Biggest D1 Mistake I've Seen on film CSUMB@Fresno St.

[ace]

If games automatically slowed down to 30% speed we'd all be 100% -- remember this is D1 ball, stuff happens faster there than it does in real time.

I can't tell you how many OOB plays like that I've screwed up because it got in my face and I was more worried about protecting myself.

ANd that travel, man - in full speed, that'd be a tough one to call.

Maybe he didn't really land OOB! Perhaps he just floated over the floor!

Well, yeah. But only because they have to play a 2 hour game in about 1.5 hours with all those media timeouts.

If you are T or C on this sequence, and you happened to be looking at the baseline during the OOB and saw the player step out by 2 feet before saving that ball, do you go and get that call? Or do you let the L live and die with it?

I think we can make an arguement that C could grab that without much fuss being put up....T, I don't know, but that was WAY OOB and I just don't see how 3 sets of eyes missed that one...

As egregious and obvious as that was and knowing it would be on film and replayed over and over, I’d think you’ve got to go help.

I always discuss with partners to call our own lines unless it's CLEARLY OOB. I feel that this counts.
