This was actually after he gave a correct interpretation of the double dribble rule. I'm expecting the apocalypse to begin during the first media TO of the second half.

Actually the only part he got right was he could recover it. He then said it would be a violation if he advanced the ball.

So the world is safe, he's still a moron.

And I can't stand Hightower. He's a drama queen and the speed of this game was way beyond him, he could not keep up.

Packer at his best.

Rose letting the throw-in get up court before picking it up.

He's risking a 5 second count call, Jim.

Thankfully the world has reset itself back to normal.

The other good one - towards the end of OT, clock clearly didn't stop after a foul and about 6 seconds ran off. The crew went to the monitor, and Packer claimed that they were checking who the fouler was. (Gotta love him being wrong twice on that one.)

Did anyone else notice this?

Kansas scored with 1:00 left on the clock in the 2nd half, and the clock stopped until the inbound. If noticed during the next dead ball, would this be correctable using a stopwatch and the monitor?

Yes.

No. Yes.

Looks like he kept up just fine. Another data point showing that one does not have to run like a gazelle to have good judgment and work a good game.

Final Fours in 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2008. Last year he was out with a knee injury.

Can't we all just get along? (Thanks Rodney!)

[lpbreeze]

can't we all get along. That deflection call was really over the top. Was that him though. Overall I would give the refs an A-. Perhaps even Bilas and the rest of the Espn crew will give them some love. Or not


I missed that play when there could have been a double dribble. what happened exactly? I saw Rose pick up the ball but I didn't see what happened next or before. and I can't remember if he dribbled or passed right after.

Memphis was carrying the ball all game, too bad the crew was so busy trying to get there to be able to get an angle to see it.

Wow, when the heck did this get off track? Man, I do not even know where to start. Maybe I will just get off the track right now.

Peace

Thanks,

Coaches are going to think what they want to think and they will not be on this board to come to their conclusions. And could give a damn what a coach thinks in the first place.

Good point. I'm in that off-season mode where i tend to forget that one specific point.

Good choice.

I think that I'll just let this one wander off into oblivion all by itself too.

Sad.

Sorry, you're simply mistaken. Perhaps they're just better ball handlers than you're use to seeing. There was once or twice that could have been, but not all game.
