To Bison1999 & Other Bucknell Fans

What about when Mac wanted the ref to check and see if a Bucknell player's foot was on the 3-point line. (it CLEARLY WAS by the way!) and then he went to the monitor (after talking to both officials about it) and then looked for about .8 seconds and didn't change anything...and then docked UNI a 30 second TO? What's that all about? This isn't the NFL...a coach can't ask to look anymore? If there's a question...and they have a monitor...CHECK IT people!

After reading this post, I thought maybe I was blind during the game, so I did check back on the replay. The Bucknell shooter's foot was about 6 inches behind the line, so it shouldn't have taken more than 0.8 seconds.

BTW, it is standard NCAA refereeing procedure to charge a team a timeout if they request a replay review that the referees do no think is justified (as in this case where it was clear it was a 3-pointer). Otherwise a coach could stretch out a game forever with one bogus review request after another. I have seen teams assessed timeouts on at least six occasions in televised games this year.

I don't think anyone is saying Bucknell benefitted from the officials...they were just poor. I'm sure even if they work mulitple leagues, that they have contracts to work PL games. THe Valley doesn't have it's own officials the work Valley games exclusively...I see "Valley" officials doing Big Ten and Big 12games on a regular basis.
