The guy who made the call could not possibly have had an angle to see that it was wide right, so if anyone deems it the right call, it happened by blind luck.

? You mean a rebound?If it's so obviously not hitting the rim...why is the guy trying to grab it? Hmm?

Is the rule that the ball needs to have a chance of going in or a chance of hitting the rim? I think it was going to graze the rim but it obviously had no chance of going in.
But some are saying that it was the right call and then agreeing with you. So let me get this, the guy with no view of the play got the right call. Because it was luck? Do officials officiate on luck or the things they see with their eyes?
Was never, going to hit the rim.If he doesn't touch the ball, it's GOING to hit the rim. That is a lock-on correct call. You can't judge a ball that's gonna hit the rim isn't going to go in- not with how insane that game was ending.
It stinks for the AAC, but they got that call right.
It was a terrible call. Embarrassingly bad. And it hurt our conference.Because of a vast anti-AAC conspiracy, Jesus, I hate it when we have to repeat ourselves around here.
It had no chance of going in - it had passed the cylinder and would have had to defy physics, gravity and everything in explored science to go in.

What am I misreading?Its amazing how this inaccuracy has been perpetuated. I didn't realize this, the studio guys had no idea (and still don't) and the majority of the board doesn't get it. I thought it was common sense that if the ball had was going to hit the rim, goaltending is an easy call.
Yeah, I'm reading it the same as you. There was no way that shot was ever going into the basket.What am I misreading. It has to be on its downward flight (check) and have the possibility of of entering the basket (not checked). That's what 3.a.2 says. It has to have the ability to go into the basket. It fails to meet that.

And he's wrong.The NCAA dude on TV took the angle that if it had a chance to hit the rim, it had a chance to go in, which seems a bit weak. The rules should state that.
I misread you, then. Sorry.I think we are on the same page. My point is that a majority of people, myself included, didn't understand the rule.
Yeah, stating in the rules that there needs to be a possibility for the ball to enter the cylinder changes everything.I think we are on the same page. My point is that a majority of people, myself included, didn't understand the rule.

Spanarkel thinks the shot might have been a curveball apparently.
