Tennessee--Rutgers ending--Women's Game

[pizanno]

i've just watched it 20 times on my Tivo. Felt like the Zapruder tape.

1) whistles were after the clocked stopped at 0.2. not even close.
2) agree that this is a big time foul that the lead called correctly.
3) the reason why the C might have a whistle (late) is because when it comes to last second shots (or fouls), everyone on the crew should be watching the ball because that's what decides the game. (not trying to start a debate. if you don't agree, then go ahead and swallow your whistle at the end of the game when the ball is out of your area)
4) going to the reply monitor didn't really help here. it actually created the situation. though the refs didn't have the option not to.

so the big mystery is why the clock stopped.

i'm not a conspiracy theorist, but i do believe the theory that the most obvious explaination is usually somewhere close to the truth.

the only way the clock behaved the way it did is if the timer at the table stopped and started it again. A cynic (not me) would say they did it to give the rebounder that extra time they needed to put the shot up.
