UO-WSU New Year's Eve 2-OT Game
Seems to me like the media & fans are blowing this out of proportion.
I'll let the articles do all the talking. Cougs? celebration comes bit too early | Spokesman.com | Jan 1, 2010 Controversy Surrounds WSU Loss - KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA | Cougs come back, then let it get away: ‘It takes your heart out’ | College Sports - The News Tribune | Seattle-Tacoma News, Weather, Sports, Jobs, Homes and Cars | South Puget Sound's Destination Ducks Waddle Past WSU in 2OT Kitsap Sun Pac-10 Referees Give Holiday Gift To Oregon - College Basketball - Rivals.com College Sports | Ducks stuns Cougars in double overtime | Pac-10 Roundup | Seattle Times Newspaper It seems to me that no one has an understanding concerning the rules of the game. The game was not over, nor had anyone requested a timeout. |

Also if I remembered from the video, there were 2-3 WSU Bench Personnel that ran onto the floor after the made shot. Which is why the Technical was assessed, correct? |

It used to be that most teams would call TO after a score to set up a play. With the stoppage of the clock after each made basket (under 1 minute), it was not always the desire of the inbounding team to request a TO. The teams would practice this type of scenario, and have a play ready run to take advantage of the confusion by the players on the court. The "rushing" on the court by bench personnel interfered with this and negated the opportunity by the inbounding team. Since it was unlikely for officials to penalize the bench personnel that would come onto the floor they would have everyone go back to the bench, put the correct time on the clock, and start the play again. While this was going on both teams would be treating this situation as a TO that was not intended. This also prolonged games in a way was not appealing to the NCAA. |

The link showing the article from KNDU, if I remember right, does have a video attached but it shows so fast that details can't be seen so easily. |

But I posted the same video link that you just did back in post #2.

I'd be upset too if I had to spend my New Year's Eve in Pullman.
Ducks sweep in Washington!! And they ******* in Pasadena. They came onto the court. T'em up. John Adams (NCAA D-1 Supervisor) brought the hammer down a couple weeks ago on bad court behavior to conference coordinators. Guess the message was heard. |

I've looked at the clip several times - IMHO the officiating crew got it right. Agree it was a tough break for WSU, but it did interfere with the other team's ability to get the ball into play - that's why the rule is there.....

I posted the link before looking, my bad. Quote:
I'm not arguing about the call. I know they called it right. It's the media & some other fans (those that have no real understanding of the rules/regulations) that are saying that WSU got cheated out of the victory. |
