Has the rule always been that way? How far back are they able to go to review a play like this? I can understand the rule allowing the basket to count if they're able to go look at it, for example,...

On play #1, I'm confused as to what Geist, the Missouri player, did to earn a technical. As others have said, he should have been called for a regular foul on the box-out, but after that he seemed to...

Reminds me of a men's league game I was at that uses OBR. High school pitcher makes a move he's legally made all season, but in this league with OBR, it's a balk.

What's the college rule?

I don't want to speak for him, but I believe he's suggesting that they get away with a lot of not-so-great behavior with the majority of officials in their games, and they're caught off guard when...

Agreed. It doesn't say where exactly this confrontation took place, but I can imagine a lot of scenarios where being confronted 1v2 is going to put the official in a defensive position. The way the...

I'm suggesting that if someone had done the same to him in his role as an officer, they'd have been treated a lot more harshly than he has been so far.

I'm not necessarily suggesting he be fired, but he should be held to a higher standard, yes. Keep in mind this was obviously investigated and they're going off of more than what's on the video.

Curious to see how this plays out. Being off-duty is no excuse. Especially given the victim is a minor.

The problem is that the rules don't support allowing a protest.

Additionally, the GHSA last spring overturned an umpire's judgment call despite the obvious rule preventing that. They denied the...

I don't have knowledge of the rule in question, but I'm guessing there's not a baseball-like protest option in basketball?

And I'm also familiar with the precedent set by GHSA in baseball.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. If you think it was a fumble, he likely should have been able to return it. There are also a lot of people who would argue that it wasn't a turnover at...

So should he have still been free to get up and run because he doesn't appear to have been touched after he actually gained possession? Or does all the contact as part of the initial tackle still...

Like I said, I'm just looking for an answer.

I happen to think it was a well-officiated game. Others don't and this is a play that both sides bring up as and example of how they got "screwed."

Well deserved in my opinion. Solid official who, along with the rest of his crew for the game, had the best officiated game of the playoffs so far with the Vikings-Saints game this past Sunday.
