Lane Violation??? NMSU MSU

Holtgetsback · 03-19-10, 09:06 PM

It was also nice of those officials not to put any time back on the clock after the first two missed threes..they should have at least had .8

Can't remember the last time I saw a lane violation called and they chose to do it there? Questionable at best.

Not going to the monitor to adjust the clock at the end was the most worst part.

what's the over/under on how many times the refs are going to bail out these bigger named schools, Nova, Whisky, Mich St,

Agreed. I think the committee tells them... "hey we need MSU, Duke, Nova, etc. for TV revenue, we're not trying to tell you how to call the game but I hope you realize where our bread is buttered".

Imagine if this was the title game? The refs would be on a skewer right now for making that call.

Can't call a lane violation in that situation. They would have never called it on Michigan St if roles were reversed. I honestly didn't see it. Made all the difference in going for a 2 or 3.

I am more interested to why they didn't go to the monitor to see if time needed to be added, 1/10th of a second would have been the difference if they could have got a last second shot up or not.

Didn't see the game, but the box score has like 45 fouls and 55 free throws.

Let me guess: Hightower was involved?

I completely agree, but that was magnified because of the phantom lane violation. Michigan st was playing defense against the 3 pointer. If it was a 2 point game, they would have to play straight up D and NMSU could just take the best available shot and not rely on a hail Mary play.

It was the correct call according to the rules.

They called the violation on the player who rebounded the ball, I don't see what he did. Do you think they would've ever called it on Mich St had situation been reversed? If that gets called, then I want to see everything called.

I am not a "Conspiracy Guy" but honestly, you have to wonder, don't you???...

Let the players determine the outcome...not the zebras...

The refs said the wrong number, they called it on the guy on the block nearest the bench, but it was actually the other guy across from him.

Fellas... I've been officiating basketball for many years...I have coached HS boys varsity basketball for years... as well as played the game at a competitive level for over 25 years... A lane violation did occur! The issue that everyone is having is the timing of the call......right? Had the refs made the call at a different point in game there would be less of an issue, right? All you that are criticizing the ref's call were probably upset because you bet on New Mexico State, right? However, the refs do play a part in the outcome of the game, right? Remember the big officiating scandal in the NBA? He even said that certain NBA refs play a major role in the outcome of many an NBA game....... If the player didn't move in the lane... there would be no argument! The refs don't play the game the players do.....IMO the worst call was the one the refs made with less than a second left.... That poor decision the refs made by not going to view the instant replay magnified the lane violation call..... Do not diminish the COMEBACK made by NEW MEXICO STATE!!! If they did not comeback to make it a close game these incompetent referees probably would NOT have been exposed..... This is a great topic for our forum!!!! EVERYONE.......GOOD LUCK today with your plays.......

BarkingToad · 03-20-10, 09:35 AM

I had no betting interest in the game, so it's not like I'm looking at it with blinders, but I honestly didn't see either one do anything. If the refs called it on the wrong guy, it adds to the fact they don't review the clock at the end of the game to potentially add more time. At least review it.

Would they dare make that call against Duke, Mich St or Kansas? Imagine the whining and b!***ing then. This forum would be littered with comments as well as front page on ESPN site.

I'm like Doc, I'm not a conspiracy guy either, but it's things that make you go hmmmm. The zebras have to help determine the outcome to put down a 12 seed? Call everything then, even if that means we'll see 25 traveling violations, 15 three second violations, and 10 dribbling violations every game. You could call 3 seconds a dozen times a game, some players camp in there like it's an old folks home.

FHCI30 · 03-20-10, 09:40 AM

stuff like this lures people away from betting and its stupid let the kids play!

tylerguy02 · 03-20-10, 10:25 AM

The main problem with the call is that it seemed like it was called well after the shot had been missed.

JMUplayer · 03-20-10, 09:22 PM

You can also call a foul on about 50% of the possessions if you throw judgement out of the window. When you're a ref you better know time/score/situation and make the appropriate call.

No different than a small bump on a 1/2 court shot at the end of the half or game....

BarkingToad · 03-29-10, 08:13 PM

Michigan St sure has made the most of a bad call, haven't they?
