ND Just Got Screwed

edit: Nevermind, I guess it was the right call.

That ref have money on the game? That bs and the intentional?

regardless of whether its the right call or not...wouldn't it be a smarter idea to begin enforcing this rule in the preseason of a season and not in the 2nd round of the ncaa tourney

It's ND, I'm OK with it.

Kellogg kept saying can't come in til the ball leaves his hands. It looked like it was out of the shooters hands before he was pay the three point line.

Yeah, the NCAA has no doubt instructed the officials to focus on lane vios for some reason.

I agree. I have never seen it called and now twice in 2 days...

Ref decided what would have been an exciting ending. He made the FT!! Arghh!! Lane violation? Seriously?? Zebras never blew the whistle when Scoe got mugged against Cuse...that could have been the difference between out and being in Rd of 32. Certain refs blow...literally.

The refs should be making this call earlier in games if they are going to call it late in the game. If a player does it earlier and doesn't get called, there should be no reason for him to believe he will be called for doing the same thing later in the game.

I'm not so sure about that. If the rule is the player can't enter the circle till after the ball is released, it didn't look like he got in early until the ball left his hand.

 

[Denham Brown]

^^^^Agreed! He certainly seemed to hold off unti the ball was out of his hand

 

[MattMang23]

It's ND. Boo hoo. They would have been blown out in the next round in spectacular ND fashion anyway.

Apparently the players don't watch basketball because that exact situation happened last night and they re-played it 100 times while the head of officials described the infractions.

Has to hit the rim for the shooter, or anyone not lined up on the blocks to go past the foul line, or 3pt arc.

 

[uconnfan68]

That was an absurd call. The first foot in the lane that I saw belonged to a Xavier player. And then to follow it up with an INT call? Just inept officiating.

Can't grab a shirt and ride. Too obvious.

If that's the actual rule then it was the right call. But someone needs to tell clark kellogg.

That call was like deciding the "vicinity" swipe of 2nd base is no good -- in the 9th inning of a playoff game. "Technically" it may be the right call. But good God, come on.

I think CK was focusing on the lane play, not Grant coming in from past the 3pt arc.

 

[Gurleyman]

Ideally, that is the sort of call that really should only be made if the shot is missed, since it has no bearing on anything if the shot goes in. But I understand the official can't decide to override the rulebook as it's written - if they see it, they can't ignore it. Same way I think if someone reaches in at midcourt to stop a breakaway and it has no effect on the guy blowing by him, they shouldn't take away that advantage and reward the defense for that foul and just let the guy have his breakaway. But the rulebook isn't written that way, either.

What a surprise an announcer does not know the rules, and a former AA at that.!!!!!!
