#2 indicates you're not really an official.
I thought number two was properly called as simply an out of bounds, BTW.

I thought the foul was on the long inbounds pass where it looked like the Rutgers player got clocked.

I was hoping for the "over the back" call that's being discussed, but as for the OOB at the end, I'd say their only hope is that the clock on the court is about 1.7 seconds faster than the one we're seeing on the broadcast.

I don't have a foul. There was no travel. He gained possession with one foot on the floor and then stepped OOB.

Adams seems like a jerk -- praising Burr (who as the trail missed this call) and essentially throwing the other two under the bus. What's really comical is that it sounds like he commented without even seeing the play.

+1 It sounded like he was "protecting" Burr and seemed a bit too defensive IMO

I wouldn't say Adams is a jerk but I do agree that his comments were inappropriate. He should have "no commented" all 3 officials and saved his comments for Art Hyland.

I guess I wonder why Adams has an opinion at all. This is a *conference* matter and it would've been nice to see the conference supervisor interviewed instead of him. As long as officials are independent contractors and not employees of the NCAA, the only thing Adams can do is not hire these guys for the tourney.

What would you call someone who would make comments like this *without ever seeing the play or even a recording of the play*?

I don't feel it's inappropriate for the coordinator of men's basketball to have a comment on the play if asked.

Without seeing the play? The right thing would've been to say, "I'll have a comment after I see the video."
