Ron – it’s a weird outcome, but I’ve seen them do this before. Think it was a Butler game in the last couple of years. RW said afterward that he wasn’t blaming the refs, that they made the right call with the timing issue (and I’m not sure how you change that). But not hearing/seeing a coach calling TO is a bit more troubling, although that’s a discretion thing again and not reviewable. Some of these issues need to be given a harder look by the NCAA — the trend toward perfection in game management is a good thing, but it creates little weird discretionary loopholes like these where nobody seems sure what to do.
]]>But the final call made no sense. (A) Roy Williams screaming for a Timeout as ref went passed him but no dice; (B) the rationale behind this clock error makes no sense. Either you go by the clock or take accountability for wrongdoing and give team ball on baseline with 1.6 secs left.
