Wisconsin vs Kentucky (Video 6/6)

The F1 play is a tough one. You have an open hand and the hit is almost as if he is trying to push him out of the way. However, there is a swing and the contact appears pretty hard. They have a LOT of angles available to them on replay as they are in contact with the producer of the broadcast out in the truck either through the headset or through the liaison at the table. They can ask for any available angle. We do not know what angles they looked at and didn't look at. However, three multiple Final Four officials all decided after review it was not an F1. I am good with that.

As for the shot clock violation. I have been taught to always go by the horn. The shot clock has a different horn than the game clock. At every game they are supposed to have the shot clock turned on and wound down to expiration and to check the shot clock horn. When it is turned on the first number displayed is 34 for men and 29 for women. There is no tenths of a second. In pro arenas where the shot clocks can show tenths of a second, for whatever reason, that feature is to be shut off for the college game. However, the non displayed internal mechanism still counts down in tenths of a second. I saw the 0 but didn't hear the horn. I am good with the no call and counting the basket. Just the showing of 0 doesn't mean shot clock violation.
