^^He was also raped on that play. ACC referees never call the rape foul.

"they are trying to not call a foul or jump ball"

I dont understand this logic at all. So instead of calling a foul theyd rather rule it out of bounds even if its not?


Seems like the correct time for a "no call".


You cant just go around whistling players out of bounds everytime you arent sure what the call is...


Was that a charge or a block? Gee i dunno, lets go with out of bounds, change of possesion...


Was that goaltending? Not sure, instead of awarding the basket lets take the ball side out...

^^you've got to understand the officiating mentality....believe it or not....we don't want to call fouls

when mike wood called the out-of-bounds....he thought he saw tony's foot out-of bounds when he touched the ball....in a split second he thinks here is a chance to clean up this mess

as for the block / charge.....how often do you see someone running with their head turned, receive the ball, turn their head, and immediately run into someone? this normally happens in the post and during a press, and when they see someone is there, they shuffle their feet. if a foul is not obvious, the next most common call is a walk.

i guess i should disclose my credentials....i've officiated high school in the area for 4 years, done the last 3 bob gibbons tournaments, and officiated a few college scrimmages. i even started in nc state intramurals, which you guys should try if you think you can call everything from the stands.

Thats great, but if you didnt see the guy go out of bounds... you should not call him out of bounds.


Ever.

yeah...but referees would loose ALL credibility if they blew their whistles and then said "my bad"....

yep. being down by an extra point would have called for a different strategy at one point or another and we could have ended up winning.
