nah. i've watched recorded games, watching them over forward and then have to rewind, then go forward again, the rewind, it gets as old as commercials or drawn out replays.


as for reviews, since Naismith invented the game, defense forces the ball out of bounds, offense ball outside of it hitting another body part. the offensive player is almost 90% of the time the last person to be touching the ball because they were the ones holding it. tale as old as time.

so i guess i do have a problem with the outcome of the call

What are you talking about? The rule is clear that it is the last person who touches the ball. You can literally throw the ball intentionally at a persons feet and it is out on them as long as you don't miss.

The Michigan guy was the last to touch the ball. Any delay was because they were looking for any way to not give it to the defense.

Even still, that delay was outrageous. I don't ever wanna hear a college fan complain about long reviews in the pro games ever again.

yes. since the beginning of time, 99% of the time the ball is last touched by the offensive player but the rule of thumb has always been that the ball goes out by defensive swipe its the offenses ball. now we have 5 minute replays wth hyperzoomed blurry fingertips which is completely stupid i think the game was better off before it.

I'm fine with reviews. If it's an extremely difficult call, I'm even fine with long reviews.

When I could easily tell in real time who the ball was out on, it's inexcusable to have a 6 minute review. Obviously I know pro games have the same issue at times with blatantly easy calls.

This just isn't true.

Now, before replay it was much harder to tell that it barely touched the offensive player but the rule was always that it was the last person who touched it.

This one was clear too. The refs knew it from the start. Any delay was to try and keep it with the offense.

So if the def swipes at the ball and misses the offense still geta the ball?

What the hell?

The rule is clear that the last person to touch the ball is the one that is considered to have knocked it out of bounds. This has been true for the entire time I have ever played or watched basketball.

You see it on rebounds all the time that get knocked out of bounds.

Are you saying that there are plays in which the offensive person clearly touches the ball last but the offense keeps the ball because the defender swatted at the ball?

I watch a lot of basketball and it is ALWAYS about whoever touched the ball last even by the smallest of margins. In the game yesterday, it was clear the Michigan guy tried to grasp the ball and missed because it had been lower than he expected and it pushed it out.

i'm just saying they are changing the way the game has been called historically that absolutely no one has had an issue with for years and now its an issue and it results in long momentum breaking reviews.

Probably a fairly important call for seeding for Purdue come March and possibly for Michigan making the tourney (if Michigan had been able to come away with the win). Tho maybe neither team should be either rewarded or penalized in the tourney seeding by this game. Both played well. But by March, all anyone will really look at is that Purdue went on the road at a tough building in Ann Arbor and came away with the W.

There were a lot of wrong calls in late game situations on tipped balls. I'd rather have the correct call. Just review it quicker.

The last person to touch the ball before it goes out should be the one to lose the ball. The fact that refs couldn't tell that as easy before doesn't matter.

they'll still and has been called that way during no review able time. to change it midstream because its now review able is asinine.

its like wanting a flag thrown on every football play because "well, there is holding on every play!"

Maybe it's because I attended Purdue during the time of the Baby Boilers, but I can't get past this sense of dread that some catastrophe will befall this team in Minnesota (like February 2010). I really hope I am wrong.

Save us from a 2 vs 15 tournament loss.

Gotta hand it to Painter and the Boilers. They are rolling right now.

Could they actually be a national title contender?

Big 10 working their way to a historically low number of NCAA bids. As of today, CBS has only 4 Big10 teams in the dance (OSU, MSU, UM, PU). Injuries and suspensions have derailed Maryland and Minnesota. Northwestern has only their weak mental make up to blame for their season.
