Video Request: Auburn-Missouri - Last play of the game
 

If someone could post the video of the last play of the Auburn-Missouri game, it looks like either a travel or OOB call should have been made with a few ticks left on the clock.

While you are at it get the block/charge at 1:00 of the second half. Thought it was a block.

Here are the plays...

First play is a travel. No question. I think the official was too close trying to get out of the way.

Second play I have no problem with the charge. The NCAA created this mess, so let them live with it. ;)

Peace

100% agree

Coaches tell their players to play until you hear a whistle or horn. Officials have to officiate the same way. This guy clearly thought "game over" and stopped officiating.

As for the block/charge call, I have a hard time judging an official for their call. It looks to me like a block, as the defender got into position late, but being on the floor only a few feet from the play is much different than watching it on TV.

The second play is a block and it's not really that close considering other plays that have been called blocks this year.

Have I mentioned the new rule is awful?

Under the new NCAA block/charge parameters, that was a block.

Under HS rules, that was a charge.

Suspension coming
 

Sad to see the official give up on the play like that.
When the right foot touches the floor it is simultaneously both traveling and an OOB violation. There is 0.7 on the clock at this point.

I have a charge on the 2nd play. If that's going to be a blocking foul by rule, then defenders have no reasonable amount of protection anymore and coaches will be teaching their players to run everyone over.

The official was too close to the sideline play to see the travel and the out-of-bounds violation.

As for the block/charge play, that's an easy block under the revised NCAA-M rules this year. The official HAS to get this correct (especially w/1:05 left on the clock).

They already are, and on the other side, you see many players just getting out of the way and giving the easy lay-up. I think that's part of what the NCAA wants.

Under NCAAW rules this is a charge as well...

I agree.

I was watching the game, and as it ended was asking myself why the other two officials didn't come together to talk about the play to make sure they got it right. Instead, they all just ran off the court.

Not sure if there is any NCAA protocol for a situation like that. Apparently, there isn't.

Any of you NCAA guys have further input?

It's not a monitor review item (I don't think), and neither of the other officials would have a look at the line.

On the travel, you (as one of the other officials) need to decide if you had a good enough look at it and if it was a "crew saving" call. If so, then make it. don't get together after the fact to try to correct it.

Is this a situation that the SEC assignor will review with the official(s)? I hate seeing any official make mistakes that could result in harsh reprimand and/or consequences. But, that mismanagement of the game was a pretty big deal. I'm somewhat surprised the Auburn coach hasn't made a big deal about not getting an opportunity for another inbound play that would give his team another chance to tie or win the game.

I just remembered another play in this game I needed some help on. In the second half a Mizzou player is fouled on the shot, it is the defender's 5th. The defender apparently said something to, or bumped into an official (never showed any replay or got clarification) and got a T. Missouri shoots two shots, then shoots two technicals, then Auburn inbounds. I was very confused. What circumstances would result in Auburn getting the ball back after a T has been called?

NCAA rules are different than NFHS rules for a subset of technical fouls.

The circumstance you describe would.

NCAA has you shoot the tech first.

Most technical fouls in NCAA-M are two shots and play resumed at POI, not two shots and the ball to the offended team.

I don't work the SEC, so I'm only speculating, but -- officials are reviewed after almost every game, and it would not surprise me if they all got a downgrade for this (and maybe lose a game). And, there are procedures for a coach to raise this issue -- and those do NOT include "making a big deal" our of it publically.

Missouri had the ball, Auburn committed a foul, then committed a T and then Auburn inbounded? That doesn't sound correct.

I'd hope not. Their should be at least one official (and maybe 2) that should have no idea if that player stepped on the line or traveled. I hope they wouldn't get penalized for their partner missing a call.

Yes bob, it does.

1. Missouri shoots the two free throws for the T without players lined up.

2. Missouri shoots the two free throws with the players lined up for the shooting foul.

3. Missouri makes the second shot, so Auburn inbounds the ball along the endline after the made free throw.

Assuming that the Missouri player made the last free throw, then the POI would be Auburn inbounding the ball from the endline. They should have shot the two Technical free throws first, then brought everyone back into the lane spaces and shot the 2 for the personal foul. Play would resume from there.

What type of throw-in? Anywhere along the endline or designated spot?

ah -- yes. I was thinking that there were no players lined up for the FTs and Auburn inbounded at the spot of the foul, or the division line.

I agree that if it happened as you describe, that's the correct enforcement.

I guess I just don't see a lot of technicals in college then. Because everyone above is correct, they shot the two technicals with the lane clear, and then two free throws with the lane full and played on.

In NFHS you would do it the opposite wouldn't you? Shoot the two shots for the shooting foul, then two techs, and then the shooting team gets the ball at division line?

Yes. In NFHS you penalize in the order they occurred.
