Matt, look at the replay at around 1:53. He is walking toward the division line waving his arms. Only after Hess starts towards him does he point at the table. By then, it's too late.

Good point...it's too bad (I'm not a Nebraskan) because if you've ever listened to Miles or seen him in action he is one of the most-sportsmanlike coaches I've ever seen...definitely got caught up in the moment today.

1st play was the definitely marginal at best. Hand is on top of the ball. Picked a bad time to go bezerk

[ref3808]

Hard to be overly critical of fellow officials. Having said that, I think it was far from the best officiated game of the past couple of days.

I like both fouls and Ts.

The first one the player "bellied up" the shooter and then the other player hit the shooter on the elbow and wrist.

The second play the defender was not vertical. It does not seem that was the reason the coach was complaining, but the coach went out of the box, way out of the box. I like the second T for that too.

Peace

After the foul was called the shot clock issue became moot, so what was he going to accomplish at the scorer's table?

he was there before the foul was called

The play is at the other end of the court. The officials are watching the play, not the coach. Once the foul is called there was no reason for him to continue trying to get the officials' attention, which he did.

Agree....both pretty obvious fouls, not marginal at all.

As for the 2nd T...agree, you really can't be that far out of your box yelling anything at anyone after you've had one T.

[JugglingReferee]

We assign one person (the HC) final responsibility for ensuring that 5 of his players are on the court. (Even though we have mechanics to prevent having to call that T.)

Not resetting and starting the SC was missed by how many people? 3 + 1 + more (other table personnel who would have had the time and knowledge to rectify this error). So, at least 5, likely 6 or 7.

When the GC read 11:22, the SC showed :15. The GC stopped at 11:17, which means the SC should have read at most :10. But we also know that the SC wasn't running properly for some time. I bet that it wasn't running for a long enough period of time that would negate the non-urgency that Team A had on that entry pass. Imho, the mistake definitely affected the play. And in fact, the play as it developed wouldn't've even happened in that fashion.

And we want to kick a coach out of a tournament game because of this?

I see little common sense in that.

Let's walk the coach back to his bench, listen to his words, and then respond by saying that "if it happened that way, I'm sorry it was missed". Remind him that leaving the coaching box is often subject to penalty, and then "we'll work harder". That'd be a great no-call.

Just my 2 cents.

Just curious, are you saying that walking towards the division line waving ones arms is sufficient for getting a (2nd) technical?

He was considerably out of the coaching box, wasn't he?

[ODJ]

Both fouls were consistent to what I've seen this week.
A lot of the "touch fouls" I've seen were defender passively guarding, and not calls I'd make in a high school game.

(BYU-Oregon was "touch foul" central. (Eyewitness.) 45+ fouls, and that was a 20 point difference.)

Coach must request a time out, can't go to the table. Saw this called two-plus decades ago by Dave Libbey. Looks terrible, but it is what it is.


Not like the refs called a T for dunking in the pre-game warm ups.
Oh, wait.

Hard to call a timeout when you don't have the ball...just saying

There's protocol for fixing errors like this. Breaking that protocol comes with a risk, and that risk is increased when you've already been warned and whacked. You might just get walked.
