Counting to 5

[tcf15]

Apparently takes more than 5 seconds

Extremely Cincinnati voice: “looks about .8 seconds too much teeheehee”

 

[Brochacho]

Clock should've started at 0:00:21 which is when Cincy player slapped the ball, ref acknowledged and started count. Cincy player started calling timeout at 05:05-05:10. About as close as it gets but under five seconds.

My favorite last night was the ball that went out of bounds off a UConn player's head, maybe Vital? It was behind the basket. A great play by the Cincy kid--if he wasn't clearly standing out of bounds, like, 5 feet out of bounds. LOL

It’s always the referees 5 second count, which may not necessarily be 5 exact seconds

The Sid travel was also horrendous. He very clearly bobbled the ball and didn’t have control while taking those steps.

Nope.

The two digits on the far-right are frame count, not hundreths of seconds. The frame count only goes 0-30.

Yep agree. Then that buzzer beater after that was horrendous D. Maybe momentum could’ve helped get the D to focus through the play

They still swear that Jalen traveled and the clock started late. Neither true.

It wasn't horrendous. It looked like a travel without a replay--which I haven't seen. I was a high school ref. That's a call I make 99% of the time.

The ref gave the Cincy kid the ball...then pointed at him and THEN did his arm tick-off thingy. Once that kid got the ball he was looking to inbound but the ref gave him .2 seconds for free.

Grinds my gears.

If you’re making that call consistently, the players must yell at you a lot.

I called out the bobble in real-time on the broadcast, much further away from Sid than the ref was. The replay just confirmed it. Now I don't know if the ref was in a bad position to see the bobble, but if he wasn't then he just blew it.

Especially ironic that this came up after the NBA refs defended a much more egregious non-travel.
(Yes I realize the irony in NBA refs not calling travelling)

out of curiosity what unit is the last 2 digits of the timer? Never seen a measurement of time count up to 30 before flipping to the next second and clearly it's not centi-seconds or milliseconds which would be my first guesses

The 5-second count starts when the ref hands the ball to the inbounder, not when the inbounder slaps the ball. The inbounder could stand there all day until he slaps the ball otherwise.

Frames per second (fps) - the video is 30fps, so it's counting frames.

Most infuriating is the ref blows the whistle and then points to the guy and then starts his count close to the 2 second mark. I'm not sure what he is doing.

To each their own, I guess. I was sitting over 200 feet away and saw it easily in live time so I think it was a pretty bad blown call.

Good to know. The more you know

I should probably say I don't make that 99% of the time. Maybe more like 65%. If the pick up looks awkward and wrong, you're usually going to make the call. Not too many referees are counting pivot feet in transition--you just sort of "see" it. It definitely didn't look right.

Replay makes it obvious he didn't have control though.

 

[Hi-Low]

It seems like the 5 second rule is like the play clock in the NFL, they give you almost another second for the "0"
