The fix was in, obviously.

Its against the rules to check and make sure the clock is right?

If you're harping on missed call in defense of 'the integrity of the game' that ship sailed long ago. Those are simply going to happen and they happen every single day.

The missed out of bounds call was horrible and it's the only reason anyone's talking about an otherwise irrelevant game. At the same time, all it did was deprive Rutgers of a chance to do something they weren't likely to pull off anyway.

LOL, the 2nd one.

And throwing the ball into the stands gets called as a technical about once a year. The fact that a kid thought the game was over and slung one out of bounds clearly doesn't qualify. Further, all technicals are at a ref's discretion and if there's no intent behind the act, the technical isn't appropriate.

Had Rutgers hit a miracle 3, they'd have won. That's it - the fouls are what they are, I'm sure there were uncalled fouls in favor of Rutgers previously. I'm not going to get up in arms about them. And even if Rutgers hits the shot, do you honestly think they were going to beat Pitt?

It's much ado about nothing. Bad call, but ultimately inconsequential. I'd be furious were I a fan of Rutgers, but I'm not - so I don't care.

how can it be inconsequential. if St. Johns goes and beats Pitt, is it inconsequential then?

If throwing a ball into the stands is a technical, it should be called as such. That, like stepping out of bounds, which he also did, is NOT a judgement call.

bullshit...reviews to ensure the correct time on the clock when there is a turnover are done routinely. stepping out of bounds is a turnover.

Technically they're right. The refs never blew the whistle. Therefore, he technically didn't go out of bound(in the eyes of the reviewable play). Can only review when the clock stopped based on the whistle and the ref raising their arm. They blew the call, and are pretty foolish to try to defend it based on semantics.

DJay23 · 03-09-2011, 05:01 PM

The thing that looks a little...off...to me is that the officials got off the court quick. There didn't seem to be any discussion among them about time on the clock. I think they all knew they blew the shit out of the ending to that game and wanted to get out quick.

This.

And that this total bullshit...there's no way that's true. I have seen them check the clock in games before I am almost positive. Unless each league has its own rules? I really dunno why a rule like that would be different across conferences. But I mean looking at a clock to see if there should be 1.7, 0.9 or no time left on the clock? What kind of ****ing moron making rules would say that's not reviewable? Come on...

**Buck** · 03-09-2011, 05:03 PM

DJ, I'd like to know what you thought about the Hochuli call in the Chargers vs Broncos game a few years back.

You have to make a call to review time. You can't look at a monitor and change the call of the live play. They never called him OOB or traveling. It's the equivalent of seeing a PI on a review of a TD catch, you can't call it. They ****ed up, but they couldn't review it.

Yeah I guess the whole play was so ****ed up I didn't even think of that. So why can't they review it and see that he stepped out of bounds with 1.7 left? That is ridiculous.

Yeah even though they cant review it that is ****ing AWFUL that not a single ref saw him travel or step out of bounds. Absolutely awful.

Makes it feel like a fix. The refs were ****ing out of there right after the game ended.

Wow, that's worse than boxing judges.
