Did you see the FT disconcertion call with 31.7 seconds left in regulation against #42 from UNC Asheville tonight?
He was in the low block on the C's side. He was waving his hand while the shooter prepared to shoot the second of three. It appears he was trying to get his coach's attention to ask if he wanted a time-out, since he made a T signal with his hands after the waving.
After the shot was missed, the C came in and talked to the lead and a substitute throw was awarded.
I have little doubt that the C made this call.
I would like to commend this official. This was a good call and a big call, since Texas Southern was able to force OT. Someone who taped the game could tell us what his name is.
I do have to ask if it was his call though. In NFHS this is the Lead's call, since the player was in the lowest lane-space. Is NCAA different on this mechanic?
Lastly, even if it wasn't his call, he stepped up and made the right call: to me that is more important.
