Question?

[campbest]

It was obvious enough that the announcers immediately and correctly questioned it. The fairly obvious travel that wasn't called just makes it worse.

Besides, most on this thread are advocating for a rule change that would allow officials to correct these mistakes when they aren't perfect in live action. Yet you object to that as well.

You can't review every call, refs already go to the monitor too much. The thinking is an error under four minutes there is less time for a team to overcome the mistake. Didn't this occur with about 10min left? Tough break but not the main reason for the loss. OU just didn't come to play.

Just a question.....I watched the game last night and I don't remember clearly. When the shot clock goes to zero, do some arenas have a horn or buzzer go off? I don't remember hearing anything when it happened last night. I do seem to remember one going off on OU's end.

Maybe I'm just mis-remembering :facepalm .....

It seems to me that whether they do or don't, it should be the same on each court. The refs can't watch everything and a buzzer would at least alert them that a violation might have occurred.

Why is a made basket on a shot clock violation not reviewable the entire game? Whether a made basket is a 3 or a 2 is. I see no functional difference. Makes no sense.

OU still had their chances, but didn't play well enough to win. Still, this rule should be looked at and this game is exhibit A.

True dat

Maybe they should let the coach challenge it like football. It is not like it happens very often. If you are wrong it costs a time out.

What makes absolutely no sense is that the refs can review whether a shooter had his foot on the 3 pt line any time but that's not true for the shot clock. Why the difference? It's OK to stop the game to decide between 2 points and 3 but not ok to stop the game to decide between 3 points and 0? That's insane.

They have a buzzer and the backboard lights up. It's a pretty easy call on review. The game wouldn't have stopped for more than 30 seconds or so.
