Ball on floor K-State/Butler

I saw that too and I agree it didn't look like the player was delaying at all. However, the coach and players didn't say anything. The player picked the ball right up and inbounded, but almost threw the ball away on his inbound pass.

Why does Burr's backcourt count consist of just a simple hand out...one finger...two finger...three finger...etc.? I thought the correct mechanic was the arm swing.

Because he is Jim Burr

At one time I'm sure he did use the correct mechanic.

I thought the KS player was delaying, so Burr put ball on floor. Terrific!

What about when a TO was called and a kentuck player slammed ball down around midcourt, bounced pretty darn high. I think it was right in front of Curtis Shaw who rightfully called a T on a whiny kentucky player earlier. Loved it.

It was obvious to me (and I'm thousands of miles away) that he was upset with his team's play, not anything regarding the officiating. At that level, it's virtually an automatic no call.

The ball went through at 1:01 so the clock is supposed to keep running. That's why time wasn't put back on the clock.

You're wrong. The announcer clearly said it was to review when Martin called a TO.

Sheesh. Whoever that guy was made a fool out of himself.

I think it was Len Elmore, who was going on and on about how a foul should have been called at the end of regulation in the KSU/Xavier game Thursday. Not that great a weekend for him.

Haven't seen a college player do that for whatever reason for years.

He put it on the floor because you thought the player delayed?

One reason it's terrific in my selfish little world is that I'll get less flak the next time I do it.
