but the ref blew his whistle to end play before that point with the out of bounds call

3/22/2007 8:47:48 PM

bad officiating two games in a row...even though both i had in my bracket

3/22/2007 8:47:54 PM

Yay! 2 for 2 tonight.

3/22/2007 8:48:21 PM

fuck Callipari

3/22/2007 8:48:29 PM

Leave it to Karl Hess to blow a call...

didn't he do our game?

am i mistaken or does the time clock start when the ball is touched?

are you retarded, the clock doesn't start until the ball is touched

it does dumbass

it hit the dudes hand, then bounced in bounds, then was in the air for a second before it bounced on the table

right call on the clock

3/22/2007 8:49:50 PM

it was touched, THEN hit the floor, THEN went out of bounds

3/22/2007 8:49:54 PM

Uh, no? The clock doesn't start till its touched. Don't you people remember seeing guards letting the ball roll along the floor till near half court before picking it up to save time?

this is correct, which is why you see several plays where the ball is rolled inbound a teams don't pick it up until half court.

3/22/2007 8:50:19 PM

there is no way a full second went by between the ball hitting his hand and going out of bounds

3/22/2007 8:50:31 PM

all who think the clock was wrong are cunts

the ball bounced in bounds AFTER memphis dude touched it

3/22/2007 8:50:40 PM

I was actually giving the refs a little credit for a well called game untill the last five seconds of this game. They did the one thing you cannot do as an official.

They decided the game.

Memphis is a good team. They can beat A&M without help, but how sad is it that every fan knows that without a phantom foul and an unexplainable clock ruling you go home.

Seems like this happens more and more each year in the tourney. Great games decides in the final seconds not by the players, but the refs. Sucks for the fans.

3/22/2007 8:51:03 PM

Nevertheless, Karl Hess fucked TAMU somehow in this game.

3/22/2007 8:51:18 PM

holy shit guys, watch the damn replay again. plus they had a stopwatch out there when they showed the replay in real time.

THEY GOT IT RIGHT

3/22/2007 8:51:33 PM

No one is debating whether the Memphis guy touched the ball, he would have had to for A&M to get it back. But a full second didn't roll of that clock when it was touched and went out of bounds.

God damn, some of you guys are clueless. Saddamizer is right on point. The ball did not touch the out of bounds line right off of Dozier's hand. It touched in bounds then bounced high into the air until it landed out of bounds on the scorer's table.

3/22/2007 8:52:02 PM

Karl Hess is proving how terrible ACC refs are, he may be worse than Ted Valentine. Personally I was more offended by Bill Raftery's spastic yelling but thats nothing new

3/22/2007 8:52:09 PM

it bounced from the floor about 5 feet in the air

that takes at least a second

3/22/2007 8:52:17 PM

see Gumbel knows whats up

yall are cunts

3/22/2007 8:52:44 PM

The foul SHOULD have been a no-call. You do NOT call that kind of foul with 3 seconds to go.

As for the clock, I officiate Varsity basketball, it starts when it is touched, can't believe some of you dumbasses don't know that. The ball looked to me like it hit the floor ON THE LINE which should have been little or no time run off the clock. Just my two cents though.

Fuck Karl Hess.

3/22/2007 8:53:48 PM

fucking acie law. completely fucked me.

3/22/2007 8:53:53 PM

sorry Saddamizer I misread your statement

3/22/2007 8:54:17 PM

OK, give them the clock ruling.

SOMEONE EXPLAINE HOW YOU CALL THAT FOUL ON A&M WITH THREE SECONDS LEFT.

There was less contact there than in many ocassions throughout the game, half, last four minutes, whatever standard you want to use.

Hell, if A&M wins it hurts my brackets. I just hate to see kids play hard and lose on calls and calls only.

3/22/2007 8:55:31 PM

great game until 3.1 seconds left. lets go ucla!

3/22/2007 8:55:54 PM

thank you

I'm pretty sure nobody said otherwise in this thread.

3/22/2007 8:56:08 PM

Wow, A&M got royally fucked out of that one.

Thats some NCSU shit right there.

3/22/2007 8:56:27 PM

From general observation, in scrambles for the ball with the clock well under a minute, refs in general don't call fouls unless they are very hard, obvious fouls; not that ticky tack bullshit that they called with 3 seconds left. Probably was Karl Hess on that one too.........

Anyway Fuck Karl Hess

[Edited on March 22, 2007 at 8:59 PM. Reason : Why is he in the NCAAs]

[Edited on March 22, 2007 at 8:59 PM. Reason : ...]

3/22/2007 8:57:39 PM

^^ It was Hess. I knew it when he called it. Reminded me of some Duke ACC tourney calls.

[Edited on March 22, 2007 at 8:58 PM. Reason : too slow]

Editted again to ask^ You sure it wasn't Hess? I'm pretty sure the announcers said it was him. Not the first time I've been wrong.

3/22/2007 8:58:11 PM

That shit pisses me off, when the game is that close and on the line refs need to let them play, that was very clearly a case of the ref deciding the game with a very weak call.

3/22/2007 8:59:22 PM

Hess is trying to leave his mark on every game, it's his goal in life.

3/22/2007 8:59:40 PM

I know how to ruin games

3/22/2007 9:01:43 PM

Would just like to give a big shout out to the Salukis, who probably played their best game in the last 4 years tonight.

Fuck the refs.

3/22/2007 9:07:45 PM

^I was one of 2 people in my pool who had them going to the elite 8...oh well

3/22/2007 9:10:34 PM

The foul didn't matter.

Memphis would have just kept getting rebounds until they scored, while A&M continued standing around with their fingers in their rear-ends.

[Edited on March 22, 2007 at 9:18 PM. Reason : ]

3/22/2007 9:18:31 PM

maybe 1 rebound in 3 seconds

two if it was a tip in

3/22/2007 9:19:49 PM

are you fucking kidding me osu/tenn??

3/22/2007 9:23:35 PM

Damn, Lofton is sick

3/22/2007 9:24:32 PM

Tennessee 4/5 3 pointers

3/22/2007 9:25:10 PM

The UCLA-Pitt game was a fucking abortion. Glad they switched.

3/22/2007 9:29:54 PM

the 2 seconds was definitely the right call you tards.

the ball hits his hand THEN bounces fairly high as it goes out of bounds.

3/22/2007 9:30:22 PM

^yepp cause you gotta wait til it LANDS out of bounds since it hit his hands and then bounced in bounds 1 time

3/22/2007 9:31:45 PM

i need tenn to win for my bracket, but no way they can keep these 3s up.

3/22/2007 9:33:20 PM

Can someone tell me who this super annoying announcer is-- The one with the gravely voice who sounds like a fucking dog stuck in a food processor. I hear him all the time, and every time I cringe when he talks. He's way worse than Vitale!

3/22/2007 9:34:07 PM

^^^^ yeah that is over and done with, it was agreed upon
