The game manager in me is not blowin a damn thing unless it is WSU arrow or held for another second or two.......

Once the arrow was blown game was over !!!!

I think that most would agree that this was a "high impact" call. IMO such situations require that we be extra certain with what we have. Here, maybe that means we wait another split second before coming with a HB. From the camera angle, I think there's enough doubt as to whether the ball was really tied up, and I would tend to let them play on. If L'ville doesn't have the arrow, this call is not nearly as impactful.

Again...who cares who has the arrow. Was it a held ball? Sure looks like it to me.

But, just to humor you and MS, let's say they don't call that held ball. The next thing that is going to happen is the whistle will blow for a travel on the Baker kid from WS. I wonder how "impactful" that would have been?

You're assuming they'd call the travel. A lot here promote not calling travels.

Agreed....definitely not callin a travel if a foot moves a bit more in that scenario.

I have talked to three guys who worked the tourney and all of them agree (regardless of whether jb call ws correct / incorrect that knowing the arrow in
that situation is paramount.

While yes the purists out there want that a jump ball, many believe that in a game situation, that whistle ended any chances WSU had to win the game....

No, the inability to control the rebound did that.

I doubt it.
