Replays can now be done at State Finals/Championships

[chseagle]

What does everyone think of NFHS allowing the use of replay monitors at State Finals/Championships?

I know of one state that's not going to do it, Washington. It was mentioned about the decision in the Online Rules Clinic. Are there any other states that have decided not to use the replay?

Illinois is not using it

Girls V game, tie score seconds left, A1 from behind the arc (I think) throws what I thought was a lob pass towards A2, when the ball goes through the basket. I ruled it a 3 and the C echoed me. During the timeout following the basket we conferenced and agreed it was indeed a 3. The coach didn't argue he just wanted to make sure we were certain. That 3 was the game winner for the home team as the Visitors missed their 3 point basket at the buzzer.


It was one of those nights. Girls game 3 pointer with 7 seconds left decided the game. Boys game 3 pointer with 1.3 seconds left tied the score and sent it into overtime.

using instant replay either. Did Ohio lead this charge to allow it after the Girls State Tournament last year?

Missouri also elected to NOT use replay in state championship

As already said, Illinois isn't using it.

My only problem is why is a last second shot in the championship more important than a last second shot in the first game of the tournament?

Did they really? Where did you hear this at? From MSHSAA or your association? Not that I don't believe you, just curious....

From NFHS press release: In response to end-of-game situations in three state championships during the 2007-08 season (South Carolina, Michigan, Ohio), the committee decided to give state associations the opportunity to use technology, if available, to assist in making sure that the correct team is awarded the state championship. Replay or game officials will be able to determine if the attempt occurred before time expired (0:00 on clock), and whether the shot was a two-point or three-point attempt.

"Coaches, participants, spectators and media now hold game officials to a higher, almost impossible standard," said Mary Struckhoff, NFHS assistant director and liaison to the Basketball Rules Committee. "When available, technology should be used to assist game officials and administrators in making the correct call when the outcome of the game hangs in the balance and a team has no further opportunity to overcome a critical error. This change provides state associations that opportunity."

Anybody got any links to the controversies in Michigan, or Ohio? What happened in those two states?

I know that we have Forum members from the Wolverine State, and the Buckeye State. According to the NFHS, end of game situations occurred that may have been helped by a replay rule in these two states, as well as in South Carolina. What's the story? I don't need a link, just a short version of the story.

I would have thought SC would have been one of the first states to jump on board with this one.

I think since some refer to it as the "South Carolina rule" we're being stubborn.
