In a quarterfinal game, 5 Old Dominion beat 4 Troy, 86-83, after ODU scored with 4 secs left, however had 6 players on the court. After the score, ODU physically pulled one player off to the bench.

This is unacceptable. ODU coach should be suspended for the next game as they are ultimately responsible for the number of players on the floor.

At the end of the Colorado - Washington State PAC-12 semifinal game WSU briefly had six players on the floor before play resumed. Ref called a technical foul on WSU ann awarded CO two foul shots and CO retained possession. Troy should have gotten two free throws and the ball. Really unfortunate error by the referee crew.

Adding insult to injury, the ODU players in the post game presser tried to make a joke of it, and IMHO, failed miserably. I may be biased, however I'm betting that if this had happened in a UConn game, CD would have prepped the players before they spoke at the presser. Less is more.

I think its the refs responsibility. That is exactly what their job is. To make sure the rules are followed. If refs issue the technical, good chance Troy wins.

It should be a technical foul, two free throws awarded and the ball. For the refs to miss this ... For the commissioner to be silent ...

Yes. And if you watch refs at all, they often visibly count the number of players when play starts after time outs, etc.

Statement from the conference. Really surprised this isn't a call coaches can appeal. Seems like common sense that a coach could have the right to make an appeal on a call like this.

Knowing the refs aren't going to finish their assignments doesn't feel like enough. No one knows if ODU would have won, but man, it should not have ended this way.

What a BS response from the conference. I don’t know what would be “fair” here as there’s no guarantee Troy would have won, but ODU shouldn’t have been awarded for this blatantly poor officiating with a win.

This isn’t like missing a foul call in the heat of the moment. Inexcusable.

ODU should forfeit the game (where is the Sun Belt Commissioner on this?????) and the referees should be suspended for the rest of the season.
Huh? Basketball has rules. The rule is if you have too many men on the floor, it’s a Technical Foul. You want to make up a forfeit rule because the refs screwed up? You can’t think ODU did it on purpose — they would get caught 99 per cent of the time, and getting caught would have cost them a game they were in good shape to win anyway.

Great quote from the ODU coach - "It’s been rumored that there were six players on the floor. Technically no — because there were five on the floor and one out-of-bounds. It’s still a violation, I guess.”

Who has suggested a forfeit rule? Haven't gotten that impression from this thread. I'm in favour of coaches being able to appeal during the game and have it reviewed like they can with certain calls.

Also not sure how you got the impression that some think this was intentional. It looked accidental, but it still should have been called. The film even shows the extra player on the while the game was in play.

It was a one point game. That technical and extra possession could have given Troy the lead and ability to have the final possession.

Another bad issue with this situation, and pointed out in the statement, is that this was non-reviewable by replay. This could’ve easily been fixed if the coach was allowed to ask for them to review it.

Hopefully this is something the NCAA will consider adding to the list going forward. It may not happen often, but it should be something that can be reviewed.

Final matter is there is only room for ONE Trojan team in the NCAA Tournament and it will be Southern Cal, not the Troy Trojans!!

The game was protested by Troy. Their protest is legitimate but like 99.9% of protests, the league ignored it. The Commissioner should have stepped up and done the right thing and upheld the protest instead of having a remedy.
I don't care who was in this game but a team should not have to lose because they had 3 refs officiating that can't count to 10 before putting the ball in play.

Seriously? My response quoted a post that said the game should be forfeit. I apologize for not responding to what’s in your head as opposed to what was posted and included in my response. SMFH.

This isn’t Major League Baseball. (And even if it was, a protest is about a ref getting a rule wrong — not blowing a call.) Once the refs go to the locker room, that’s it. Your proposed rule is what? That someone from the league office calls you and asks if you think some call was so egregious that, with no procedure for doing so, you think the game should be replayed from the point of the mistake? Good plan.

Your reply doesn't include any quotes which is why I said what I said. I've also went back through previous replies and don't see what you're referring to.

I've seen suggestions about the coach being suspended. That's it. If you can point me to the post, I'd appreciate it.

Here's your reply. Unless I'm blocked by the poster, there's nothing to indicate you replied to anyone.

There is a basic rule for Basketball which is once the refs leave the floor at the end of a game, it is in the record book.

So as far as changing the outcome, the commissioner really has his hands tied.

I thought the statement he made was pretty good. He admitted what happened was bad, he identified what should have happened, and he apologized.

It is like looking at the clock at the end of that TN game and seeing it pause for a couple of seconds allowing TN to score and win. You could see it, but the refs left the court and any protest was moot.

No one mentioned a forfeit rule. But someone suggested ODU should forfeit, voluntarily I thought, as the honorable thing to do.

I must have missed it and I've gone through the thread a couple times to be sure I didn't. Didn't think the tone of the response was necessary which is why I posted a screenshot of their reply to show what I saw.

I wish i could i could find the post game press conference by ODU and Delisha Milton Jones laughing about it saying they “technically only had 5 players on the floor. The other was out of bounds”
