Remember - We get all our calls right from the stands.
Just because an official has been at it a long time doesn't mean he's immune to criticism...especially on a blown call this bad.

I have no problem with the criticism, I just do not like the way we all are critical. This should be a learning situation for all of us. Do not assume anything and unfortunately I think this official did. He is not the only one that made such a mistake and certainly will not be the last one for sure.

Peace

Agreed. Figure out why he missed it, or what contributed, and strive to avoid it.

Exactly

Quote:
When the play started (b/c throw-in by Rutgers) Burr was the new lead 94' away in the frontcourt under the basket. In the video shown from St. John's frontcourt you will see him running to get over to the sideline from the paint after the pass is stolen. Higgins is in front of St. John's bench along the sideline...

After St. John's stole the ball it became Burr's line. But Burr was not in position to see the line b/c of how he set up on the initial throw-in. Higgins should have had secondary help on the line...

After St. John's steals the ball Walton starts running towards SJ's frontcourt but takes his eyes off the player and looks at the clock. When he looks back the player is already OOB and in the midst chucking the ball up in the air. I don't think Earl knew what the hell was going on at that point. He's probably thinking "I hope someone blew a whistle"
