Drexel vs Niagra out of bounds play

[CLH]

I just got a phone call from a friend telling me that in the Drexel vs Niagra game a few minutes ago, the officials went to the monitor to determine who caused the ball to go out of bounds. Did anyone else see this? Did I miss a rule change this year that allowed that in the NCAA? I know the NBA now allows it with 2:00 remaining in the 4th, but to my knowledge this is not, nor has ever been allowed in the NCAA.

I don't think that's allowed -- but it's possible that they went to the monitor to correct a timing mistake.

Agreed, I have done that, but reviewing an OOB is not allowed except the NBA. I'm getting second hand information, but I was just told they went back a second time on an out of bounds call. Two different people have called me with the same situation.

I saw the play. Drexel was trapped on their own end line following a throw-in. The Drexel player jumped into the air and attempted to throw the ball off a Niagra player. The ball definitely touched the Niagra player, but it wasn't clear, even on the replay, if it actually rebounded and touched the Drexel player last.

The lead came out with a strong call, but I was hoping the C could have offered some support or input since it happened on his side of the floor.

I had the sound muted on the TV and couldn't get it back on again in time to figure why the referee went to the monitor. By rule, I'm sure it had to be a possible timing correction.

Yes it was a timing mistake. They ran about 5 or 6 extra seconds off the clock.

Apparently there were 2 identical plays that happened...I was told there was no way in the world there was a timing error and the commentators said the officials were looking at the OOB. Anyone else hear the commentary?

Maybe they thought the "right thing to do" was go to the monitor to see who caused the ball to go OOB.
