UNC/Florida State

[stiffler3492]

I understand it was Florida State's idea to get UNC off the floor. Don't know if anything like that had ever happened before.

Not according to UNC's official story. They're saying Williams approached Hamilton and asked if he was okay calling the game.

Well in the press conference the Hamilton said he went to Williams about getting them off the court.

Why would Hamilton lie?

Seriously though, what's the protocol in this situation if you're an official? Just shrug your shoulders, not cause an additional scene? What in the rule book allows a team and coach to just walk off the court without declaring a forfeit?

Not sure there is any. And why would you care if the issue is safety. And why would you declare a forfeit, the game was a blowout in FSU's favor. Not sure you need to do anything but let it happen.

Not sure what the policy is but how come the report doesn't include the coaches having a discussion with the officials? Were Williams and Hamilton going to bilaterally end the game without any involvement of the game officials?
