Change of status.

Just to pile on...I heard Will Perdue calling the North Carolina game on radio today. First he accused an official who, by the radio description, sold a blocking foul call of making it about himself. Then when there was a close OOB call, said he thought they could look at the monitor to determine who hit it out of bounds.

He was quickly corrected.

Maybe he also works NBA games where you could do this under 2 in the fourth and all of OT. Or maybe he's just like 99 percent of announcers and didn't know the rule haha

Probably both. That's what they get for having non-college guys do college games. Barkley has been brutal in the studio.

Apparently that official has released a statement stating he did count to 5 seconds.

His problem is that there is video evidence, and it doesn't back up his statement.

Cartmel probably did say five in his head, the problem is hand count was not there yet.

I timed it a couple of times on the stopwatch and it's around 4.8 each time. Pretty darn close if you ask me.

Still doesn't excuse the poor mechanics on this play.

The problem is that the rules call for a VISIBLE count and he never chopped for a fifth time. Not to mention that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. The time-out should've been granted.
