Princeton v Harvard -- one game Ivy playoff
Following Harvard's basket with 11.1 remaining, did the Princeton thrower step INBOUNDS while attempting to execute his throw-in?
It is hard for me to tell from the ESPN video. He may have only stepped on the OOB line, but it is darn close. Considering that Princeton scored at the buzzer on that final possession to claim the conference's automatic NCAA tournament bid, this is a big call. Also we recall the NCAA memos from a couple of years ago stressing to look for this and to call it even if there is no pressure. The instruction was that it is not a judgment call. Note: I have no rooting interest in this game. I simply noticed this while viewing the highlights and grasped the importance of this violation decision. |
We had a city final here about 7 years ago that had a play like this, very late in the game, and it was called.
Some people tried to BS their way to suggest that it shouldn't've been called because there was no pressure. I can't imagine not calling something like this. |
NEV- I noticed the same thing. I am not sure the official was watching the line.
What is it about the OOB lines this year?:D |

What about the 3 at the end of regulation of the Washington / Arizona game? It appeared the UW shooter had a foot OOB when he caught the pass before the shot. It was a close call and "the coach" to my left pointed it out to me. (I of course agreed with her b/c let's be honest, that's an argument I wasn't going to win!)

I saw the replay at a restaurant and thought the same thing, but I didn't get a good look.
