    I have to say....thats a dumb rule that you cant call a TO between 4 and 5 secs.......He should've thrown it off the knees of the guy guarding him.....I dont blame the guy for not knowing the rule.....kinda obscure if ya ask me.....

    Before the 5 second violation, Texas took a 30 second time out. Thats why there are several coaches to remind players of the possibilities. Game ends with one time out left.

    The refs didn't make Illinois not cover the alley-oop, did they? Seriously, how many times do you fall for the same play before you should just be written off as stupid....

    For the record that so called rule about not being able to call a timeout between 4 and 5 seconds is not true at all. The NCAA Head Official just clarified. The 5 second call was made because the ref said he reached 5 seconds before he called it. But replays clearly show that was not the case. This ref just wanted to make that big moment call.

    Looks like Seth Davis is reporting there was a rule change a few years back and you are correct.

    Then this was another horrible call against TX. No way did it get to 5 before he signaled for the timeout. More adventures in officiating.

    no doubt this so called "human element" of sports is becoming an epidemic problem with the advancement of technology. from the perfect game to pass interference to 5 second violations. officials are having such a negative impact in sports.
