R.I.P to the 10-second backcourt violation

[SJU61982]

 I know after the Rutgers game last year, that I shouldn't complain, but:

Has anyone else noticed that it's now two games in a row where our opponent has committed a clear 10-second violation in the backcourt (more like 11 or 12 seconds) that wasen't called, and the possesion resulted in 2 points for our opponent? And, Texas A & M won that game by 1 point, which really hurt (I know we should have won anyway, but still...).

Last night's was made worse by the fact that there was a clear offensive goaltend on that possesion, but the refs allowed the hoop, saying goaltending on Pointer, which was BS, since a good 1 full second had gone off the clock after he touched it.

These refs need to wake up, and watch the clock.

 how about a buzzer that goes off after 10 secs so the refs dont need to stare at the clock.

 

[Red Storm Rising]

refs don't stare at the clock, they count 10 seconds. 

 

[SJU61982]

refs don't stare at the clock, they count 10 seconds. 

 

Well, they are counting very, very slowly, and it's to our detremint.

Tux's idea is a good one, but I don't know exactly how that can be implemented, cause the one that just crosses in time might get called for a violation.

The officiating at last night's game was exceptionally bad... :angry:

 Buzzer goes off and the ball still hasnt crossed the midcourt line it's a violation. It should make it easier for officials unless of course it's Higgins in which case nothing would work.

Just like when special guest referee Gorilla Monsoon screwed Jesse Ventura out of a victory over Bob Backlund.

I'm pretty sure I saw Braica coming through the ropes to distract the ref so he missed the tag, I mean the violation. I think he was a big Valiant Brothers fan growing up.

But Mike Dunlap had a foreign object in his trunks.

Was Mike Dunlap the Iron Sheik in a former life?

No... Nikolai Volkoff... Much more stoic.
