Byu-unlv

(Standard disclaimer, yellow ball, not orange ball guy myself.)

So last night BYU scores to go down three with about 30 seconds left. The UNLV player attempting to inbound starts to move the ball forward and the defender pressuring the inbound throw comes across and hits the ball for a technical foul. The crew then goes to the monitor before shooting the free throws.
First question, if going to the monitor wasn't unrelated what would it have been for? This isn't reviewable in any way is it?

Second question, the referee on the endline was standing about 3 steps deep. Had this been close (it wasn't) how would you know from that position if the defender had gotten the ball on the inbounds or out of bounds side of the plane?

They can go to the monitor if they are looking to make sure the 3 point shot did not have a foot on the line or the time is properly set or any number of things. It appears the people on TV did not know what was taking place and probably why you did not know what was taking place.

Only three steps. How much closer did you want him to be?

Peace

I actually thought it might have related to time but it was pretty quick if that was the case (just once).

If this was the only call you had to make, the right position would be on the exact corner of the court. (You can't be run into but you can exactly judge plane violations.) It's not the only thing, but I was surprised by his depth.

It is really hard to judge why they were at the table without more information.

You would be incorrect, because we always teach the lead official to be off the court. And if you are in the position you suggest, then you miss the angle on many plays that go to the basket. And you do not need to see the line by standing on the line. I think you are trying to take a softball philosophy to another sport that does not work (I work Baseball BTW).

This was not the LEAD, it was the TRAIL official following a made goal by the opponent. There are no drives to the basket that require a different angle in this situation.

Youngump is correct, and the NCAA has even sent out a recent memo stating that the TRAIL officials is to remain on the end line during the throw-in and not be several steps onto the court anticipating the new direction of play.

I just looked at all the memos, nothing about where officials stand or do not stand. Oh well.

#2: being farther from the EL decreases one's ability to call this accurately. Sometimes vets officiate using their experience rather than positioning.

I was watching the gaem. I did not think they looked at the monitor. The crew met briefly and then the calling official went to the table. It looked like he was explaining the class of technical etc.... I did not see them looking at the monitor.

I'm sorry, but I don't follow what you mean. Your first sentence reflected what I thought. (I.e., I'd hate to call a close foul ball from a similar angle.) The second one I don't get at all.
