So what you are saying is the replay was inconclusive and the bucket should have counted then?

How would he know, he wasn't at the table when they made the decision?

I did not say it was inconclusive, I said it was close. I can see the argument either way. It does not clearly look out of his hand and from the blur of the video you could say the ball was out of his and and another angle think the ball was in his hand. Now I saw this in HD too and I went back and forth.

And it appears all the official did was signal that this was a 3 point shot that went in knowing they have to look at the video.

Peace

That is the definition of inconclusive isn't it?

In any event, they didn't signal good or wave it off on the floor? Because with an inconclusive replay like that I don't think you could have overturned either one.

And btw, what else is Ed Rush going to say?

I think you are looking for a black and white answer to something that none of us were involved in. This is not the NFL and the standard is not the same to overturn a call. They look at the video to see if he got the shot off or not and they determined it was not off. I am just saying I could see an argument either way. But the officials on the game may feel it was clear to them based on what they saw. And if it is true that they did not see an HD feed of the game, that is even worse IMO.

Like I said before knowing the system in place courtside:

I don't referee basketball, so I certainly don't know the rules on the use of replay in the NCAAs. But is the "inconclusive" criterion even used in basketball replays as it is in football?

I switched over from the Oregon/K-State game during a commercial break to see the end of this game. My Christmas present to me was a 65" Samsung 8000-Series LED Smart HDTV with 240Hz refresh (). I kept stopping and rewinding the replays with my DVR. And I couldn't tell from the two angles they showed if the ball had definitely left the shooter's fingertips when the backboard light lit up. It was just that close.

So anybody who says they definitely saw a valid shot or not is blowing smoke. The refs, IMO, simply had to guess, and we'll never know if they guessed right or not.

"When definitive information is unattainable with the use of the monitor, the original call stands." 5-7.2.b

Wasn't the original call a made 3-pointer?

I see the attempt signalled, but I don't see anyone signalling that it was good (i.e., released before the 0:00.0 or red lights). Not saying that they didn't, only that I don't know.

They got it wrong.

Is this a trick question?

A supervisor has never admitted to a mistake by his crew?

We also don't know what angles the crew had. They may not have had the same camera angles that are being shared now. There were 3 very experienced officials on the crew. I'm sure they did the best with the information they had.
