I don’t think so. I think the whole world that watched the ‘89 game wanted to see Terry Mills—or Higgins or whoever got the kick out from Robinson—either make or miss the shot for the game.
Bad calls happened all game, but they were judgment calls. You can say the hack on Kalk, what about the block on Wusu that Kalk got all hand and arm and didn’t touch the ball, the play on kadary on the first half where Richmond hit the shot and Kalk fouled him but no call? Refs didn’t call a lot both ways…. But the out of bands play is not a judgment call. He took 2 big steps and Shaheen was all over it. He took 2 more shuffle also but it’s questionable if they were before or after TO was called. Ref knew he blew it, you’d think you’d get a makeup call right after with the 5 seconds but no, and I won’t even get upset with that as much because it’s again, a judgment call. Even though counting slow I got to 6 seconds. Add in the phantom foul call on kadary on the steal?
Somewhat simple. You can't review something that wasn't called.
Thing is, after 4 seconds I believe you cannot call a timeout… everyone counts differently?
That’s their game. They do that every game.
We never have a home court advantage. It’s disgusting!
This is Carino wrote about it: After calling out the refs for two obvious misses in crunch time, The foul that negated Dawes two pointer and sent Kadary to the line and the missed 5 second call on Scheurman's out of bounds play. Replays showed that he called time out after 5.7 seconds. We should have gotten the ball.... but heres what he said about the controversial no call on the travel on the out of bounds:
Except for the phantom foul they called to have Richmond shoot instead of Dawes' layup...
They were NOT consistent.... that is the problem. Just because they made bad calls both ways does not make them consistent. They let obvious fouls go and called "phantom fouls" or made no calls on obvious offensive fouls and moving picks. The one call we can point to that cost us the game in regulation was Scheirman's time out at the 5.7 mark. That should be an automatic call and should at least be reviewable. Not crying about all of this...... jes sayin'....
I had a stopwatch and had 6.19 twice from the touch of the ball to his TO call. This was the worse call of the game. It’s not a judgement call.
It was the travels and non-fouls they missed and there were a lot of them. Alexander had 3 all by himself.
I just checked it with my iPhone. Over 6 seconds before the TO.
He took 4 steps out of bounds. Theres no rule against that. And there’s a picture on the game thread, Kalks hand is touching the ball. Some egregious calls both ways but you can take 20 steps out of bounds if you don’t leave the area of where you’re inbounding the ball. Use google, I was shocked to see the rule myself. I believe it’s a 3 foot area you are allowed to move within.
Given that it was OT of the National Championship game with 3 seconds left and a one point game, this was the worst call of all time in college OR professional sports. About 25 years later before he died, Clougherty finally admitted he "might" have been a little quick on the whistle.
I've seen fouls that weren't called flagrant get changed to flagrant after the replay review.
That's all well and good but if it wasn't called as a violation, they still can't review it.
The point was not that they should review it, but that they should call it correctly in the first place.
Not correct - on a sideline in- bound you are only allowed one step.
His son is also a Big East ref who typically does us no favors!
If Dawes weren't clear under the basket and Kadary had no one to pass to, , would a foul called on Kadary's defender been one of the worst fouls you've ever seen?
It wasn't a foul. Richmond was hardly even touched.
Seemed like an anticipation whistle as the Creighton player was moving with the intent to maybe foul?
Good thing they didn't hear the angry rants from the guys sitting a few rows back from me! LOL
