Anyone else see this?

How the lead missed this one, I have no idea. Trail is out of the picture, prolly why he missed the travel.

I agree there was definitely a missed call by the lead on the OOB. And...it looked like it was right in front of him and he was looking right at it.

Mark took the words right out of my mouth as I was writing.

This is Old News Fella's...

Looked like they got screwed twice. Not only on the OOB, but then the player that made the tying 3 appeared to "hop" before taking the shot -- should have been a travel call before that shot.

:rolleyes: Cant wait for all the "you cant call that at that point of the game" idiots to chime in.

It looked like the play blew up in his face. He was probably trying to focus on the contact and forgot to look at the feet.

That would have been a very hard travel to call live. It is really easy to slow things down and say that was a travel. The game is not called in slow motion.

Peace

Rut - I agree, but the OOB play should never have been missed.

Wow...I've missed calls before but MAN! :eek: That dude was a good 2' OOB...and the 3 point shot/hop...hell, I'm trying to teach my 7-8 year old girls how to use their legs on a jump shot and I use THAT drill! :p

He didn't hop, he shuffled. That's worse. I am sure they got pasted by the observer and assignor. Since it is a non-conference exhibition, there is probably a new guy on the crew that really hurt himself if he's the T or L.

Yeah they missed an OOB, yeah he probably travelled on the shot. They also missed the foul on the shot so it all evens out. :)

I'm glad my games don't wind up on youtube, that said, I'm not cashing 1000.00 game fee checks either

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! :)

The crew consisted of three Pac-10 officials with about 40 years experience at the D1 level between them. I think two of them are tourney officials, if not all three.

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.

That deserves a "Wow!"

Travel live action I'm probably not watching his feet that closely that far behind the arc withe so many defenders that close I'm focused on the potential contact.

OOB who doesn't call that...If I'm on the floor I'm bailing out the L and if I'm L I'm thankful I got bailed out.

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