Question about the free throws with 9.1 seconds left

[thebigabd]

I had just gotten done playing golf and was at Dick's Sporting Goods shopping around and caught the end of the game. I don't know if it was just me, but it seemed like it took at least 10-15 actual minutes to shoot those free throws. That is completely ridiculous, in my opinion. Gets fouled and has to wait forever to shoot the damn ball.

Did anyone else notice this?

Oh yeah, he got iced by the officials big time. The monitor review process is a joke.

 

[MercedeSooner]

it sucks but in the end I'd rather the refs get it right. Should be a time limit on how much time they take looking at the monitor though.

Ya, but I would be interested to see how long that took. Felt about 15 minutes. The entire half of game play is only 20 minutes of game time.

 

[StatGeek]

I think it was about 7-8 minutes

I think it was about 7-8 minutes

Yeah, it was definitely under 10, but still way too long.

 

[DenverSooner]

What were they looking at.? When it happened I was wondering why Kruger would call time out in that situation.

 

[MNsooner]

As I recall they were looking at clock.

 

[Tundrasooner]

They were looking at the clock. Shouldn't take that freaking long though. Terrible. And before that when they went to replay when the ball was clearly out on Baylor. How much more conclusive do you want to get? Terrible.

Also the clock operator was having trouble changing the clock back to 9.1 from 7.9.

 

[stoopified]

Anything to give the hometown boys more time to score and plan out their last play.

Hey, you have to be tough and overcome things like this to win on the road. The Sooners were just tough enough, and they are learning great lessons for the future. This young group of guards/ball-handlers will have many opportunities to pull out close games like this over the next few seasons.

You also have to remember that these delays served as TOs for Baylor because they were out. It should not take 7-8 minutes to see what the clock was reading at the time of a foul. That one is not hard.

 

[MsProudSooner]

Between inept officials on the turnover charged to Jordan and inept clock operators, BU had every opportunity to make a miracle comeback but they failed.

That was not all bad. It looked like Coach Kruger was also making very good use of the delays as he constantly was coaching-up and encouraging his guys.

It is what it is. This will not be the last time a game is delayed by the officials.

 

[badger]

So you're saying Baylor had 10-15 minutes, not 9.1 seconds, to get a shot off and they still didn't?

 

[bassmaster]

Ya, but I would be interested to see how long that took. Felt about 15 minutes. The entire half of game play is only 20 minutes of game time.

I thought someone said it took 23 minutes to play the last 30 seconds of the game. Is that true? I know it seemed like forever.

My problem with that out of bounds call is that if it isn't out on Baylor it is a kick. The guy moved his foot into the ball and it went out of bounds. Even if you can't tell if it hit Woodard's hand, he still kicked the ball.

I don't know if you can review a kick but that was a kick in my opinion.

Do any of the officials or rules gurus know if you can review a kick. Also does a kick have to be intentional? Could a ref decide he just took a step with no intention to kick the ball and therefore it isn't a kick?

Can't review a kick, violation has to be deemed intentional.

 

[usedtobe1]

A kick has to be intentional, and it wasn't. Woodard dribbled it off the Baylor player's foot. On the replay I couldn't tell if it hit Woodard's finger or not, but I can understand why there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call. If they had initially called it out on Bayor, then there wasn't enough evidence to reverse the call the other way.

I don't understand why it took so long to make the call and set the time. I guess they wanted to be sure.
