NC State at Syracuse ending

[blindzebra]

The OOB/foul play bothers me. One it looks bad and two the contact was well after the shot was blocked. The Hightowerish theatrics after the foul call and BI could be toned down as well.

On the Syracuse PC foul, right before that even at game speed guard committed a dribbling violation. Ball rested in his hands. Anyone see that?

I was going to comment also that the PC contact was proceeding by a palming violation.

In the pre-game , do officials discuss what they will call and not call let's say in the last 4 minutes of the game ? That dribbling was so obvious. The C and L could if easily picked that up.

Play 1: Block, defender got hand level to the ball.

Play 2: PC

Play 3: Count it.

Play 4: Good call. I'm fine with Lead helping in transition.

#1. Even if there was a foul, the right team got the ball back and there was no need to come in like that after the OOB call.

#2. Great PC (preceeded by a carry).

#3. Basket should have been counted. NO WAY I'm taking away those points.

#4. Good call....even by lead given the fact that the C and T were probably still way behind the play.

I agree on all four. It seems, by the timing/cadence of the call by T, that his call was on #14, and he was convinced that L's call only involved the block by #24. Even so, I'd hopefully leave it alone, as Camron said.

As far as Nevada's play C (#3 on video), Art Hyland will be coming out with a new NCAA-Men's interpretation of "shooting/continuous motion". Upward motion is going to be defined as the beginning of the habitual shooting motion.

The Trail official saw the illegal contact on the shooter, looked to see if the Lead was calling the foul, then when clear that the Lead DID NOT SEE IT, came in with a VERY STRONG whistle (which he ABSOLUTELY should in this situation) and sold the call.

I'll be the Lead was glad that Trail came and got that one right.

btw, can we stop with the criticism of the "showboating/theatrics" by the officials in this game?

This is a high-level game being played in a football stadium in front of 30,000+ people at the most intense part of the game. In each of the calls made in the video, the officials "matched the moment" with their mechanics/strength of calls.....

What you or I do in a high-school/small college gym in front of 100 people "ain't gonna work" here.

I fully agree with this. Make the call match the play.

I also think we're trained to be a little too subdued in HS but that's an argument for another day.

Uh, no.

I believe Syracuse had a foul to give, and were trying to give it. You are saying you would not call this?

In the third play, how much you guys wanna bet the Lead yelled "ON THE FLOOR!!!" while pointing to the ground??

I'm probably no-calling it for the first 30 minutes. I imagine I'd no-call it during the last 10 seconds, also. I'm not taking away a breakaway layup on that bump if the shooter ends up keeping control (like in this play).

If I blew the whistle, I'd regret it.

What if he misses the layup?

Absolutely. Probably louder than most of us could ever imagine. He was trying to get his partner's attention and let him know he had a foul. I see very little problem with that kind of action in that moment.
