Ref Questions

[Pils86]

Can someone explain what happened to end the half? Seems the clock operator stopped the clock for some reason at 0.7, but why did the game stop? After review could the refs have just said the 0.7 seconds would have run off and ended the half? I think that would have been fair. I don't remember, did Mary get the rebound?

On Mary's out of bounds challenge, I did not see anything definitive on replay, so I was surprised when they overturned it. Was there a clear angle on this play that showed off RU?

There was another out of bounds play where they said Mary ball but it looked like it was off them. Pike called a TO. Could he have called a challenge, and he would have gotten the clock stoppage/TO he wanted anyway? Kind of like a free review?

Finally on the last out of bounds issue, our guy slaps the ball away, but the ball continues in the direction of the player, not in the direction of the slap, indicating to me it must have hit of the players leg or knee, not sure why the ref didn't use this logic on the initial call. Again seemed like limited camera angles for review, anyone see it clearly?

First question
Ball it the rim and the shot clock should have reset when Maryland got the board . The scorers table sounded the buzzer and stopped the clock. It was a scorers table error and handled properly.

Question 2
It was touched last by us and right call!

Question 4
There was no camera angle that showed Maryland touching it. It was blocked by a players body so they had to stay with the call even though based on trajectory of the ball you could tell it was touched Bobby Maryland.

Answer to Question 1:
So, Rutgers timekeeper stopped the clock when the ball hit the rim?
Instead of letting the clock run out with the loose ball?

On question #3, yes Pike should have challenged and would have won, as the replay clearly showed it was off of the MD player’s hand.

On the end of 1st half play; my recollection was they called an inadvertent whistle (after that ridiculously long review); as reason they gave the ball back to Maryland. Probably they didn't want to blame scorer's table for the buzzer. Also - I recall they could not run the half out on that possession as they got the ball with about 31 sec on the clock. On the other play - there wasn't anything we saw on the scoreboard replays that warranted an overturn; not sure what they showed on TV.

Yes he should have reset the **** clock and not stopped the game clock.

Yes he should have reset the **** clock and not stopped the game clock.

Thanks. If I recall, the game clock person at Ohio State cost us a game by not starting the clock and a long-range jumper ended the game.
There was an illegal inbounds pass as well.

Love Big Ten Refs.

This exactly.

#1 The error was the missed push on Grant during that inbounds followed up with a foul call on him. #4. The refs can't make reverse a call based on some calculated rotational view without actually seeing it touch a player to cause it (indirect evudence).
