Peace

Actually, the shot clock buzzer never went off. Even after the whistle, the last 1.3 seconds elapsed from the game clock as well.

I do not agree that it was bad, I thought that was the violation as well and the part the original telecast focused on. And I posted a picture that shows this was correct. Again you are not going to always know what someone calls until you talk to them personally and he commented on the obvious one you see on TV first. At the arena that might have been more obvious of the player behind the 3 point line.

Peace

Whoops.

I had the sound down but watching the replay I figured it was the kid who came from behind the 3-pt line. Then I made the mistake of turning the sound up and listening to Reggie Miller.

That step in happens on almost every FT that's shot, it never gets called and it wasn't called this time.

The C pointed to the offender and pointed to the path he took to get to the ball..

I knew immediately who he had called the violation was called on.

If I can see it, then the NCAA Mens' Officiating Coordinator should be able to.

If anyone else noticed, they ALMOST let Syracuse attempt a third free throw at the end of the game too. Pretty harsh day for those three.

Yes, the shot clock buzzer did go off.

The game clock doesn't stop when the shot clock expires. It expires when an official blows his whistle, recognizing a shot clock violation.

Forgive my question. But how do you "almost" let someone shoot? They either did or they did not shoot.

Peace

There was no light at 0. The official blew his whistle with 1.3 left and the game clock never stopped. And I'm aware they don't use PTS in the NCAA tourney.

You are correct. The light did not come on and the game clock did not stop.

However, the shot clock buzzer did blow just after Corbett blew his whistle, while the ball was in the shooter's hand. I know, I watched over and over and still have it on my DVR.

I do nothing but wreck basketball anymore, most of which use NCAA rules regarding FT. I think I call this Free Throw Violation once a night, and every time no one believes me.

Regarding the end of 1st half play...is there "lag" time in NCAA basketball? If the officials conferred and judged the horn occured before the whistle (erroneously) then they made the correct call, right?

True or False, once the ball strikes the backboard on an attempt the defense cannot touch it?

Wasn't that out of bounds call a wreck league rule...when a foul may have caused the ball to go out of bounds, award the ball out of bounds to the offended team without calling the foul...

Since they can review such a play, they can also put the exact amount of time back on the clock.

I actually thought the studio guys were pretty good with Adams. They ran the reply of the lane violation call from an angle that I don't think he had seen before -- and followed up after he made the foot in the lane comment to get his reaction to the violation the official actually called. On the OOB play, he basically said he wasn't going to make any alibis for the crew. The commentators followed up with some good questions about whether he thought there should have been a foul on the play. (He said something about how, although he wasn't there, if they judged it after the ball hit the hand (I guess he meant, not causing the violation) he would have it as incidental contact.)

Seth Davis asked some questions about whose call the OOB should have been and even got into, very briefly, proper mechanics for the ref putting the ball at the under the basket player's disposal, which I thought was significantly better than the usual in-studio stuff. Adams had a bit of a deer-in-the-headlights aspect to him at first; he's not polished like Mike Pereira, but I think having him in the studio on these sorts of plays could be really good.

John Adams on Tru TV now...does NOT look happy.

How is that a problem?
