Jay Bilas: "Worst call in history of basketball" (OSU/Maryland) [VIDEO]

[bainsey]

Anytime, anyone goes right to "best/worst (X) ever" (and it's happening more frequently), take them with the entire salt mine.

Can somebody please clip this up so we can review this better?

Just try to imagine Jay B in the stands during a game you ref.

Bad positioning on Wymer's part. This is why you START at the FTLE guys; if you are above it like the C in this play you have worse rebounding angles.

When I read the thread title, I thought Bilas was at MY game last night.

If you can't see between the players, or don't see clear displacement, don't blow your whistle.

I'm sure he wants it back.

I thought that he was at my game last night. Wait, you can keep him!

The replay looking from above shows space between the two players involved at the moment of the rebound. That would be a tough look for the C. The contact only occurs at the end of the play. The calling official went with what he saw. Don't we all - correct or incorrect.

I can imagine the blog post he'd write after I had him escorted out.

Are you kidding me? High School gyms are full of them, and worse. My wife has come to a few out of town tournaments. I do a few games and we enjoy a local eatery. She can't believe I can stand the idiocy in the stands. I am sure as I, many of you don't hear it anymore (Exception: on time out someone says something clever). This week student section would start singing a nursery rhythm every time the opposing team had the ball. At one time-out they ask me what my favorite was, so I replied "itsy bitsy spider". Next possession we were treated to a resounding rendition. Jay Bilas is probably one of the smartest people on TV, and Dick Vital is a great ambassador for college basketball. However, when it comes to commentary on officiating I can’t stomach either of them. Well, it’s hard to stomach Vital as soon as he starts talking.
