It's simply unacceptable to go to review and get it wrong, but I don't know how they could have gotten it right with the monitor they had to use.

I thought they were supposed to be going to an HD replay system for the final four. Anyways, the only definitive replay video shown on TV, they had to zoom in on it to see it.

More like a B-/C+. A lot of reaching across the paint by the Leads on marginal contact, and a few RSBQ plays on the ball-handler that were not called; plus missing Winslow stepping OOB.

Not quite. But this one's been banned along with the other 2 usernames created by the same person, including one used to PM me about the other banned usernames.

But John Adams has also said that the officials and TV producers need to work together to ensure the officials get shown all the angles.

Probably? There were either 2 definitive angles or not. Can't say probably.

That's coach-talk.

Not even close to the same. Pull up both videos side-by-side and you will see that.

Yours wouldn't be either if I slammed a shoulder into your chest. There were three calls that stick out to me after watching this game. This 'verticality' call, the "block" at 9:07 and the out of bounds review that wasn't conclusive enough.

I don't get the overall official bashing this morning from Bo Ryan to 'Mike n Mike' I thought, as in most cases, things went a little both ways and had a way of evening out. Ryan's a bit overboard in some of his comments, but I'll give him the "heat of the moment" and that he's standing up for his players, but if not for a missed shot clock violation Saturday, Wisc MAY not of even been playing last night.

Worst excuse ever for poor behavior.

I'll clarify. Worst excuse that people try to actually use on a regular basis.

No T-shirt, but they'll give you an officiating.com jockstrap. Be sure to indicate your size.
