Correct. If none of the officials knows what heppened, then what happened happens.

Perfect example of a game where the referees did play a huge impact on the outcome of the game.
If you're going to screw up, fine. Make it happen 3 minutes into the game. Not on the last play of the game to break a tie. Endings like this with play-off implications are what leads to lawsuits. And rightfully so, imho.

Yeah, I would like to see an example of just ONE of these lawsuits. That's a ridiculous comment.
That said, also a ridiculously bad example of officiating where none of the three realized that was a shot clock violation with that time/score situation. AWFUL! |

Mostly that was on the C....they had the perfect angle to see that it fell short. The L should have had no idea. The T probably didn't have the angle to see if it clipped the front of the rim or not.

That buzzer for the shot clock seems awfully quiet...even with an empty gym and the LED backboard lights, I suppose it's possible that the officials were so honed in on the ball, that they had no clue the shot clock went off.

With that time and score everyone should have an idea IMO. And the ball was well short of the rim. It was the C's primary but when she didnt have anything, one of the other two should have stepped up, especially with the advantage of having a backboard LED. |

They ran a pass play. There was a foul by the defense during the down and it was unclear whether the pass was complete or incomplete. Now there were only a few seconds remaining on the clock. The offense then sets up for like a 45 yard field goal. If they get the points they will make the playoffs. The referee starts the clock on the ready for play (which may or may not have been correct). The clock runs out before the ball is snapped. Because there was a foul by the defense during the last timed down of the period then the game should have been extended by one down. The officials ruled the game over. There was some type of lawsuit filed saying that this team should have been be placed into the playoffs. I guess they just assumed that the HS team's odds of kicking a 45 yard field goal was about 100% The lawsuit ended up going nowhere even though the officials obviously misapplied a rule. Lawsuits over officials getting a call incorrect are even more crazy. I can't believe that anyone believes that suing is the correct way to solve anything. |

Yup. In a case like this, I am in support of rules changes that permit a change to the last play of a game.
We all know that the last play of the game was officiated grossly wrong. Cancel the hoop and go to overtime. If a rules change submission needs a lawsuit to give it some legs, then I'm in favour of that lawsuit. I know the economy is tough right now, and that may be a mitigating factor in the ability to do so, but for a play like this, it is easily solved with replay. An HD camcorder hooked up to a video monitor is about $500 here in my area. Schools likely have a capable monitor anyways, so all that is needed now is an HD camcorder. If a school has an AV group, then they likely have a camcorder too. And wasn't this an NCAA game? Washington U, as in University? Doesn't NCAA have replay? Or is that for D1 only?
