Big East Statement

[quote="Class of 72" post=310854]There is one big problem with this phony scenario - the ref that blew the whistle had his eyes on LJ Figueroa and not on the clock. He clearly blew the whistle to determine if LJ was inbounds. Review of the video would never taken even these morons 3 minutes to figure out allowing Seton Hall a time out.
The explanation is an embarrassment to the Big East conference.[/quote]

Yup LJ even complained.
When whistle initially blew I thought they were going to say LJ made contact with guy throwing ball in or something.
 
This also is what the "replay" rules have created. As I mentioned in other threads (watch man beat dead horse) the loooooong bs delay to review the clock allowed a team (SH) with no timeouts remaining, the opportunity to coach up another play after clearly failing on its 1st attempt to inbound the ball. Disgusting.

Had time enough to plan game plan for their next game. Just surprised they didn't give SH more time on clock

Big difference in having guys on the floor run a play vs coach designing a set play for the situation. Why does college basketball have timeouts then? Huge advantage when they should have been in full scramble mode.
 
Stephens blew the whistle and never motioned to the clock after the whistle. He had a confused look and his buddy came to his rescue by coming up with the clock story after looking at the monitor for three minutes.

The third ref was laughing about it by himself at mid-court.

This all recorded. It's like those thieves that steal packages from a stoop and are on video.

Ackerman, Jackson and Cahill have now joined in on the bullshit story and are just as guilty as the two clowns that failed to own up to the mistake that Stephens made when he blew a whistle thinking that LJ was out of bounds. It had zero to do with the clock.

It's always the cover up.

No doubt, add in they let them travel and well.... We played terrible down the stretch and two best players missed one and one's but that call is really, really hard to swallow. And like everyone else said the totally implausible reason they are giving while still admitting a mistake somehow just makes it worse.

The Statement justifies the 'call' based on the ref's 'mistaken' "non-correctable judgment call...based on a perceived delay in the activation of the game clock following an inbounds pass by Seton Hall."
All of which is a blatant lie since the clock did start!
Which means the 'call' was based on the ref's perceived and mistaken view that LJ stepped out of bounds which the long review clearly showed didn't happen.
This gets more sickening with each passing day.
The BEC is lying and covering up for the worst blown call in recent BEC history.
 
Being a HS Basketball Referee, this is all BS. Ref on the ball has player responsibility, not clock responsibility. There are 2 other Officials to manage the time or screw it up, which of course, they did. What an effing disgrace the Officials and the BEC have made of this.

Easy there Chicago Days, let's not let verifiable facts get in the way of the BEC lies!
 
So the BE office calls it "an error in judgement by the official". Does anybody think they will impose sanctions against the ref?:eek:hmy: Think he'll be assigned to another SJU game any time soon.
 
The refs should receive a suspension of a reasonable number of games (1 or 2 IMO) and not be allowed anywhere near a St. John's game the rest of the season.

Brilliant minds think alike.:)
 
At the very least , Mike Cragg should petition the League to prohibit these 3 Officials from any remaining BE Games, including the BE tournament that St John’s plays in . It won’t do any good but, it’s a form of protest . I also proposed that all Replays be reviewed in the League offices and not just by the Officials on the Court , who made the questionable call . Lastly , if it was just a clock problem , it would not have taken the Refs over 3 minutes to determine its malfunction in this high technology era . No, the Officials were clearly befuddled how to handle a blown call and got no
Help from the League office . The Ball was unquestionably saved by Figueroa and directed to Heron on the Court . The Clock issue was total BS . Only when the Refs went to the Scorers table and talked over their mistake did they concoct the bogus story . And , why was the 3 rd official not involved in the discussion ? He was chatting to Mullin at half court . Should he not have a voice at the table ? It’s a terrible loss any way you slice it . We played awful down the stretch and Ponds was mostly the culprit . Sorry , he is a great player and we love him completely but, this style of him not shooting or scoring in order to collect Assists isn’t a good strategy . He was forcing shots in the second half to score a little but, never found the range . And , he stopped going to the basket, where he can score at will or be fouled . Plus , inexplicably , both he and Heron missed the front end of 1 and 1’s . Those misses were the ball game , regardless of the Figgy play . It should not have come down to that . And , letting Powell get to the Rim for a lay up in the last minute was also a screw up .
 
The home team stole a game from the visiting team and then the Conference acts like clowns as they try to cover the call and theft.

When JSJ goes so far to post a comment on the Officials and BE mistake , you know it’s a valid injustice .. JSJ rarely takes a position unless he’s really steamed by a miscarriage of Basketball officiating . Which has occurred here . Thanks JSJ , your posting gives more credibility to the protests already entered .
