Game management
I was just watching the Penn State/Wisconsin game. About 4 minutes left in the game, a little bump/push takes place in PS front court. Donnie Gray blew his whistle, goes to the two players talks to them for about 15 seconds, then leaves. Game is held up for about a minute. Then the ball is put back in play. Is this good game management, or should he have called something if he blew his whistle.
Also, with 13 seconds left in the game and PS on the line, he held up a second free throw for about 15-20 seconds while he talked to two players. Almost iced the PS free throw shooter. It was obvious the shooter was antsy to get his hands on the ball for the second throw. |

I Guess That You Had To Be There ???
Sounds to me like preventative officiating. If it worked, fine.

Donnee Gray is very big on communicating. If he can diffuse a situation with his verbal skills then that's route he will take. Can you or I do the same? Probably not, but he is a multiple Final Four official. Just like certain individuals are given liberty with their mechanics.

Did he blow the whistle when the ball was in play? Sometimes officials when use this method when there is some pushing and they are about to administer a throw-in. I think it is more complicated to actually stop the game without calling a foul. |
