I met him briefly at camp one summer. Seemed like a great guy.

Thoughts?

I think...no, I know...that the recap and the boxscore both show that Mamadou Seck of SIU got charged with the "T".

Whereinthehell is the problem? Very obviously the official knew which player to charge with the "T".

Perhaps I missed something in reading posts - but while some might think the official lied could it not be true that a player did request a TO - then realize they didn't have any left and then say they never requested a TO?

Nah, that would never happen either!

I was going with the quote from the officials at the time of the play.

[comical]

Based on the Northeastern-SIU game, a Sporting News writer thinks the NCAA should use the FIBA rule for calling timeouts. Here's part of the column, followed by the link.


"What occurred in Carbondale appeared to be a lousy application of an abominable rule.

This result ought to push the NCAA rules committee toward adopting FIBA rules on timeouts, which are much more reasonable, lead to a more attractive game and also avoid making scapegoats out of players like Webber and whomever allegedly was at fault for SIU."

There looked to be no visual request for a timeout. The official told the table that "He heard someone from SIU yell timeout"

The announcers thought it might have been #2 for SIU, who was standing next to the official who eventually granted the TO. He started to make a visual request, but I thought that came after the official had granted the TO.

Something about the officials' explanation doesn't sit well with me.

What explanation? Was there a press release verifying official told the table this?

The announcers got that from the scorer's table.

An excessive timeout technical is an administrative technical foul, charged to the team. Why did they put the player in the box score as having been charged a technical?

And I know you voted this year

If the timeout wasn't granted, looked like a travel to me.

interested point about changing the timeout rule to the FIBA rule. Would certainly make officials life easier.

If someone already posted this video I didn't see it.

#2 signaled T.O. It's clear as day. My bet is he said it, too.

[JRutledge]

Two players called for a timeout.

I'll lay my wager (ahem) on #0. Think about it. If you've ever been in a similar end-of-game situation, you should be focused on the ball, as the lead was here. He's looking straight at #0 (and his teammate) and does not hesitate one iota. If #2 calls timeout, i would expect the lead to at least look in his direction.

[AHSAA_Ref]

Perhaps they both called it. But #2 signaled with his hands. No doubt.
