Technical foul on Mark Turgeon at 1:55 in OT after he went ballistic after a no-call foul or goaltend (?). It did not look like goaltending on replay.

Also in this game, there were three monitor reviews looking at two or three-point goals in question. Monitor reviews are out of control in college basketball.

One of those reviews involved one of the officials coming across the court to ask the ESPN guys if they had any other views available. The whole encounter was on-air.

Somehing's wrong if the official scorer is the only one that has a certain number of fouls for a certain player.

Been there . . . over the weekend, middle school tournament, only one scorekeeper (for book and clock -- not as bad since running clock, but still....) . . . we had a player who had only played a few minutes foul out with 2 fouls No idea how she possibly got him to 5 (he was numer 11, so I was wondering if some 1-1 FTs got confused) . . . and no real way to fix it . . . moral of the story, I suppose, is to send our own book to keep an eye on things, but we've never taken it that seriously . . .

Television broadcasters are supposed to advise the officials of all angles available. John Adams reminds the Men's officials about that at the beginning of every season.
