Did anyone else notice that with about 1.5 seconds left in the game that the UConn player, who was holding the ball waiting for time to expire, picked up his dribble and jumped coming back to the floor with the ball?
Everyone wanted a pound of flesh from Burr and company. I wonder what Adams thought.
Pretty sure we will see those two plays next year at the preseason meetings. Referee until the end.
There's some rule in FED, and I think in NCAA, that a game can be shortened if both coaches and the R agree.
The actions of the game indicate that's what happened, even if the clock operator didn't quite get the message.
There was an NCAA game last year that I saw on ESPN where there were 37 seconds left in a 30 point game and the winning team dribbled to the front court and held the ball. With about 10 seconds left in the game and 8 on the shot clock, the losing team walked over to their bench. The shot clock expired with a horn, but the handshakes already started. The clock operator ran 2 seconds off the clock and the refs left the floor. Thought it was interesting.

I would put that in the "I'll call it, but YOU explain it" category!
