Si or no?

Did anyone else have a carry? At first I couldn't tell who the commentators were cheering for, it became fairly obvious.

The C did a great job as everyone else said, on first viewing I thought it was in his hand. But glad I had the replay button cause I wasn't 100% like the C was.

Good call and a great job selling it.
I don't work 3-man....can someone take me through that crew's coverage for the end of game situation we saw in the video?

Yep -- at < D-I we're expected to get it right every time, and get raked over the coals if we don't, but we don't have the replay monitor to fall back on. Coaches and media can review the tape and make a leisurely decision, though. Lah me.

FED and NCAAM -- Official opposite table (trail, if there's more than one such official) has the last shot.

NCAAW -- C has the last shot (I prefer this).

All -- all officials should have an opinion.

So should the trail have been making the call in the video as opposed to the C?
Maybe he was (along with the C), but you can't see the trail at that point in the video.
Could the crew in their pre-game, discussed using the NCAAW coverage for a last second shot?

No. The center is opposite the table. It's his all the way.

I've never worked the NCAAW mechanic in a high school game and would never dream of doing so.

Personally, I like the NFHS mechanic better. It's only when I work with NCAAW officials do I get into a prolonged discussion of whether we need to "lock down." The NFHS mechanic allows the lead to initiate rotations whenever he/she wants (up through the final horn) and the rotation does NOT change the last shot responsibility unless the ball goes the other way.
