SIU Time Out

[stiffler3492]

Just finished watching that. Interesting situation. Looking at the replay, the official grants a timeout request, then points to the player who apparently requested it.

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.

And you think that the official is a liar? What basis do you have for that conclusion except your very own take on the play, a take that is not supported by a shred of evidence to back it up btw.

Maybe it's just me, but I always like to go along with an official unless there's evidence that he actually did screw up. And I haven't read anything factual so far in this thread proving that he did so, just conjecture. Y'all go ahead and dump on the guy though. Personally I'll wait until I find out if there really is a reason to dump on him though.

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?

Maybe the person at the scorer's table that screwed up so badly when he told the announcers that they weren't sure which player called the TO also screwed up again by entering the "T" in the book wrong. After viewing the video, I'd say that's a helluva lot more likely than the official screwing it up. Don't let that stop you though. Carry on crapping on the officials withoud a shred of proof that they screwed up in any way.

I'm with the old guy on this one; a table screw up on how to apply the T is far more likely. Even if they screwed the admin part up, no big deal except to the assigners and evaluators in this case.
