Clark Kellogg

[tomegun]

I think one of the plays being talked about was Howard (that is the guard's name right?) driving from the right side. Kellogg or the other guy was initially talking about the player being in the imaginary area under the hoop. If I'm not mistaken, Eades made that call. The basket went in and if it would have counted with a free throw that could have been huge. I guess every call like this could have been huge.

Eades also called a foul by Scheyer in the first half on the floor. The (quick) replay showed the Butler guard clearly beginning the shooting motion.

Yes, that one.

And I was also disappointed by the one you mention in the second paragraph. This "on the floor" crap won't end until the officials at the top of the game do better at getting these right.

Yes, THAT'S the one I mean. Does the NCAA even recognize that "imaginary area," the dreaded restricted area?

As of this year, but it was too soon to have the circle painted.

And for what college did Clark Kellog play and graduate from:

The Ohio State University

now don't go dissing their study of cheese major. just because a few (dozen) football players graduate without being able to read doesn't mean Ohio St. or its fabulous sewing classes should be looked down upon.

While not a fan of his, personally, I didn't mind Kellogg last night.

Just like an official, he gets one wrong ever now and again too. Shrug.

Getting one wrong because he saw something different than the rest of us is excusable. Expressing misinformation, especially in his role, is not.

Had Kellogg said, "I believe Scheyer tried to get legal guarding position after the shooter had left the floor," then fine. I don't agree with that, but at least there's a fact (rule) behind the opinion. When someone passes on a rationale with no rules basis ("jumping into the path"), it only adds to the rule myths we have to battle.
