Feel for Samford. How the fuck can you possibly miss that call? Good thing the refs made this game three hours long only to screw up the one call you can’t screw up.
Add challenges and be done with it. But still, refs now rely too much on replays to get their calls right. They don’t press as hard to get calls right in the moment because they always fall back on the review.
If they did challenges they’d probably do some bullshit like in the NFL where teams aren’t allowed to in the last two minutes.
Gohlke is on the front page of ESPN right now looking like 32 year old bench player from the '85 Pacers.
Hoping Shawn Hunter is doing okay today. My sources indicate he had to go to the hospital last night to get a splinter removed after punching a hole in the laminate wood wall of mothers trailer
Agreed, I don't think the dumb mistakes and turnovers are going to fly tomorrow afternoon. They've also been terrible on short turnarounds all season.
Seeing as how they watch film on a white board from a projector, I have no doubt this play was designed using sugar and sweet and low packets
Woke up still pissed off about that KU foul call. I couldn't appropriately express my anger in the moment because my partner is a Jayhawk. Thinking about a possible review process, if the refs go back and review that after the ball is dead, determine it was a clean block...then the ball is live. How do you determine possession? In this case, you could say it's Samford's because they ran down the rebound but if no one had because of the whistle? Just jump ball it like a tie up? That's better than the FTs from Samford's perspective but still not a true outcome. Do you handle it like football, not blow the whistle, let it play out, and then go back and review it at the next stoppage, whatever that is.
Possession arrow was in KU’s favor. Not sure if you could treat it like a football fumble where there is a clear and immediate recovery then the team gets possession. Doubt you ever let it play out and then go back and review, because you could have multiple possessions before a stoppage occurs. In this case it would’ve been in the last minute of the game.
they either have to put in a coaches challenge or just scrap review all together having the entire viewing audience see them being able to go to the monitor to put .4 seconds back on the clock but not on a crucial play just shows what a farce the whole thing is
The clear and immediate recovery is what the NBA does in those circumstances, I assume that you would just follow that route.
That's what I thought, which makes basketball's approach kind of shit. Finally found the live play and I think the timing on the whistle here is important. It's not on contact with the player/ball, it's as Timberlake's trajectory changes and he starts to fall awkwardly. It's not an excuse for the ref but it's also understandable he thinks significant player collision happened...even if the defender's hand got ball.
Mistakes happen. But they use replay so damn much, it seems indefensible they couldn't overturn that clear bad call. it takes 10 minutes to finish 15 seconds in a close game. but you can't review that clearly blown call? If there's not clear recovery after, go to the possession arrow. Not a great fix, but it's better than letting the call stand. I also hate Kansas, so that may have an impact on my feelings.
boozin and casino all day to end up on the verge of being blacked out as you arrive for the game and a couple liquor drinks puts you over the edge in the first 10 min, where you get escorted out of the building
The call sucked. It's really unfortunate. But "they already do replay so why don't they just to do this, too, to make sure things are right" is how we got to the point where all of this already runs so poorly. I'm not against the idea of challenges or more replay, necessarily, but just saying this mentality is how we got here in the first place and is the reason we just keep going further and further down this road. And the next time something weird happens we'll push for that before pretending we didn't as it adds 5 more minutes to these games.
I mean there's bad calls and then there's calls that literally decide the outcome of a game. NFL made the choice after the blown PI call in the Rams Saints playoff game, this is on that level. They don't need to fucking review a dozen times to make sure every tenth of a second is accounted for.
early returns suggesting the score prediction and thrill score for northwestern-fau are wildly exaggerated
