3 college issues from this past weekend

[Mike L]

For the UCLA-Tenn game, the "fault" lies either with the wings for not realizing it was close immediately and calling "close" or the umpire was way to worried about getting the ball spotted quickly and/or never heard the close call (possible considering the noise at the time). They could have still moved the ball out to the wing if he had held his spot, which might have looked bad but would've been the correct thing to do. But, if the wing moved off they are stuck with the only spot they have, where the umpire put it.

Good points, Mike. My recollection was UCLA was in the "hurry-up"

Which underscores the foundational principle that "hustle" is always good, but "hurry" causes nothing but trouble NO MATTTER the circumstances.

Up here we call it "speed kills".

It is also possible that there was a request for a measurement by a coach or captain after they had set the ball. That might really be the case if there was a hurry up offense. Unless we get an explanation this is all speculation.
