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.

[Mark Padgett]

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.

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

[JRutledge]

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.

[Coltdoggs]

Wow...I've missed calls before but MAN! 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!

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.

[Dan_ref]

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.

[Camron Rust]

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.
