1. He never puts the ball back on the floor. How do you wave that off? What else was he doing but shooting?

2. Clearly a charge IMO. Craft has both feet down before the shooter goes airborne and that is without any consideration to the RA. But the replay I saw after the game and in the studio of CBS, it looked like his heel was over the line. That being said, I do not see how an officials gets that call in real time.

Peace

1. Yeah, that was my thought live. He stopped dribbling before the bump and continued with his shooting motion. What more did the L want? That's one of those where the T might have said "You've got shots, right?" as the L took the call to the table.

2. That's where the C is supposed to come in and help but I can see why he wouldn't if he wasn't 100% sure. That being said, my guess is someone asked the C after the game if there was a chance for him to pick up the RA.

1. Easily in the act of shooting...and 1.

2. RA block... understandably missed in real time.

Which is essentially what John Adams said in an interview on CBS immediately after the game.

As usual, Barkley was popping off about how the officials missed it..."a turrible call". Not sure why they let him near a microphone.

I love Barkley. He is right a lot more than he's wrong. He may not be the most eloquent but I really have no interest in hearing the Queen of England talk basketball.

He is one of the most entertaining they have as he's not afraid to tell the truth where others try to be PC.

That was my first thought as well. However, after looking at the play again, I can see why the officials stayed with the PC. The lead rotates as the ISU player begins his drive. The old T/new C is hustling to get into position, but he is a long ways away at contact, and on the move. He probably isn't sure and rightfully leaves it alone. The old C/new T has two defenders and the shooter between him and the secondary defender. He has a PC and knows the L does too, based on his body language after the whistle. The L is focused on the shot being challenged as his eyes are looking up the entire time. He has no idea how close the secondary defender is to the RA. He sees the aftermath of the collision and signals the PC, which he believes to be correct. Tough break for the Cyclones, but as stated in this thread, nearly impossible to get correct at real speed. I don't think you can hold this one against the official/crew.

On a side note, the local sports radio in Iowa wasn't that distraught over it (at least not on my commute this morning). Nothing like the KU block/charge, that's for sure.

1. its all about the gather - he has started his shooting motion
2. fast or slow I got a block - it is very close
