Wichita State - Louisville
 

Block call at 5:19, first half. I'd love another look.

Probably a block, maybe even a play on.

At full speed, at first glance, I thought the defender looked legal.

I didn't think it was much at all, I would have preferred nothing.

2nd half. 16:40. Is this a travel on Louisville.

14:33 is another travel.

OKREF beat me to it. Looked like a travel on Louisville on the rebound.

2nd half 5:22. I don't see this one. Foul on the screen.

An Abomination Upon the Game.
 

6.3 seconds left in the game and the AP Arrow determined if a team would or would not get the last shot of the game.

MTD, Sr.

MTD -

You beat me too it.....if you know arrow is favoring L- Ville, then you gotta hold whistle long as possible....but what do I know, I'm on the couch drinkin Coors Light!!!!!!

First let me say, I think these guys did a real good job. However it seemed to me that they weren't going to pass on anything. I think it was a held ball, but could have held his whistle just a tick.

First thought when I saw the play: This summer a coach is going to suggest that any held ball in the final minute/30 secs/10 secs - pick your time frame - results in an actual jump ball.

Held ball.
 

held so tightly by both players that rough play may ensue?
I did not like that call. At all.

Q re: the double foul call late in the second half:

If the officials go to the monitor and decide that one of the double fouls was actually a Flagrant 1, does that change the restart?

Nobody has mentioned the GT call where the ball never got above ring level? Even in real time, I said to the TV "Ooo, I don't think so. . ."

What, no comments about Les Jones' continuous motion And-1? :rolleyes:

BNR - that was a great call!!!!!! If you got any stones you will make that call every weekend this spring / summer at BWSC!!!!!:D:D:D

Why would they hold thier whistle there....they didn't hold at any other time.

After watching both games, it seemed like the crews came from two different planets.

Wasn't it because the ball had hit the backboard?

Why would there be (if it is the play I'm thinking of)? It was a pretty easy and-1.

I said that earlier, they didn't pass on much, and they didn't there. Where they over officiating?

Given how D1 games normally get called, I think yes. They called a lot of stuff that normally gets passed on.

Not that I'm any special ref, but I think Hess' jump ball call in that situation was a tad "knee-jerk" at best. . .

Gotta let players decide that situation. . .just my $.02 cents worth. . .

>Shiver<

Not a factor if the ball isn't entirely above the ring.

All I will say is I saw one of the officials out after the game. He was with another guy that I beleve worked the tournament but not that far.

Peace

Everyone says Karl Hess called the jump ball, I just looked at the video and it was Terry Wymer who called it.

Two of them called it...IIRC.

Yes, that's why it was called. Unfortunately, the rule states that a ball is considered to be on its downward flight if it is touched after it hits the backboard and is completely above the height of the rim.

Since the ball never made it above the rim (and it wasn't even close, really), it should have been ruled as a legal blocked shot.

Mars Vs Venus
 

I think this is an interesting comment..Can you expand on what differences you noticed between how the games were called?

Thanks!

Both bald, one a lot taller than the other?

In the first game there were a lot of whistles on plays that the 2nd crew passed on....rebounds with no possession consequence , minor touches that had no effect on anyone, etc. They were not waiting the F in SDF before they called something. It was as if they wanted to be on top of the game and to control it. Take, for example, that block called in this thread: http://forum.officiating.com/basketb...-1st-half.html

No more an abomination than a jump ball. I never get the fascination with the jump ball. A 6'1" guard ties up a 6'9" forward and the team with the 6'9" player should get the ball 99% of the time because their guy's taller?

Idiotic. More so than the AP arrow.

See FA from MSL down there?

Not true ... the coaches said all of the officials came from Uranus.
