If UW (or its fans or coaches) is going to complain that a missed OOB call or two cost them the game, they should be arguing that a missed shot clock violation and a missed OOB that didn't just change possession but added a total 4 points to UW's score (2 of the points with just over 2 minutes to go in the critical part of the game) cost UK the semi-final game and that UK should have been in the game in their place.

Despite those refs being regarded as “top level”, they are prone to the same lapses in judgment, erroneous calls, and missed calls that inhere with all refs.
Welcome to the avocation of officiating! The only job where you are expected to be perfect the first time out and get better from there on.

The shocking thing to me was the lack of travel calls. Both sides did it but there were lots. First was Decker, then several duke player, then Kaminski, then Allen I think near the end on one of his key made baskets at the end. I'm not talking nit picking travels either. Of course, I've never missed one from the stands. Verne Harris said travels were his worst call and that's the way he wanted it. It's now NBA'esque in regards to travelling. I need to adapt next season. I've always called less than my partners but thought I was just weak on the call. Turns out I was just ahead of my time. :D

When weighing whether to intervene or not, I think that the leader of NCAA officiating should take the side of getting the correct decision for the integrity of the game. He wouldn't be actually making the call, just providing the opportunity for the crew to see/have more/necessary information.
To each his own. If the officials didn't see the right replay, it's not on them at all, but rather it's on whoever set up the replay system. So, people may criticize all they want, but...... Also, I'm a little vague about where he would have/could have taken the officials to see another better replay, but wherever it was, I don't think it would be proper for Adams to personally inject himself into the contest itself in any way while it is going on. jmo

Don't interpret my comments to mean that I agree with parrot. I don't; and I don't think the officiating impacted this game.

Not even close to the same. Pull up both videos side-by-side and you will see that.
Same in that both plays were late in close games and incorrectly called blocks. Given John Adams apparent love for blocking fouls to encourage scoring and driving into the lane, and the limited knowledge the general public has in regards to LGP I think DeRosa correctly figured in both cases that calling a block would be more palatable.

Honest answers by John Adams.
He confirms that the game officials did not see the definitive replay which we got watching on TV. That's a failure of the system and DVsports should lose the contract over that.

He was left with a bad choice of getting it right the wrong way or getting it wrong the right way. There is no good choice choice there but I think he would have opened a can of worms on the order of that one US/USSR Olympic game had he intervened with no rules authority to do so .

I agree with this sentiment. Once someone does it that first time, all major TV sports will then have that expectation, and it will trickle down. There is an alternate sitting at the table, he should be the one reviewing all the broadcast angles the announcers are viewing while the on-court crew is reviewing at their monitor.

Where did you come up with notion that the UK/ND call was incorrect? You took a poll of conference supervisors, or just Indiana residents? :cool:

That's was the easiest block of any of the plays I've seen discussed in the forum this season.

Actually I think the fact that this play got called a block just further reinforces the lack of knowledge the public has of LGP and what is a block and what is not. If that is called a charge I don't think anyone outside of Durham NC would have a problem with it.

You are both correct.

Officiating had nothing to do with this game.
That's the statement I was replying to. Full stop.

I'm not sure what arguing how other missed calls impacted a previous game has to do with that. I'm not a UW fan, and I never claimed anything "cost" them the game. Duke was playing better at that point and probably wins anyway - so the original poster may have been a little hyperbolic saying the game came down to officiating - but if those calls go the way they should have gone it definitely affects how the game plays out, if not the final result.

Anyone who actually believes that call was anything other than a defender sticking his nose into a shooter needs his/her head examined. That's just crap to think that is anything other than a standard basketball play

I agree with you 100% and I'm a Badgers fan.

It's a pet peeve of mine that people make a bigger deal out of a play just because it happened with a minute left in the game. Scoring, or preventing the other team to score, is just as important in the first minute of the game as the last minute.
You're presuming a whole with that first statement, but I'll let it go.

Is it also a "pet peeve" that they have replay in the last two minutes? What's so important about the last two minutes?

If the very first questionable calls goes the other way, none of the other plays would have happened. The entire game events change. An entirely new sequence of events would have happened.

Where are Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson when you need a space/time continuum to be altered?
