Re: Iup basketball

Am I remembering correctly that they weren't actually allowed to use video replay? I thought it was a situation where the conference had disallowed video replay (because of spotty video coverage and limited camera angles), so the refs were huddling simply to talk about what they saw "live." I could be mistaken about that. But I thought I remembered that the real controversy was that the video showed he got it off, but the refs never saw the video. I'm not sure. It's entirely possible I might have made up that entire context just to rationalize it in my mind. Maybe IUPbig can ask his buddy Bruce.

I don't recall the specific issues with the video. What I recall is that the refs originally called the shot off before the buzzer/clock hit zero which obviously kicked off a wild celebration. Sancomb then began "lobbying" with the refs at the scorers table and after a few minutes, the refs changed their minds, said the shot was not off before the buzzer and IMMEDIATELY sprinted for the locker room! I think I recall them looking at a monitor at the scorers table but I could be confusing another game with this one.

Bottom line, refs made the right call initially, they fell pray to coach lobbying and changed their call to the wrong call which was clearly shown on video. Clearly WLU was robbed! Had it not been for that fraudulent call, they would have won another regional title and perhaps their first NC.

And still their only home loss all year.

All the more ammunition to serve up to the league's most whiney player tonight.

REFS 78 UPJ 67

And still their only home loss all year.

Is he legitimately your buddy? Lol

Yeah I've known him since college.

Do conferences ever share refs? I was at the WLU/Wesleyan game earlier this season, and there was an unfamiliar crew with a hair gel looking guy who seemed to take himself WAY too seriously. I couldn't help but wonder if the MEC had borrowed a terrible PSAC crew for a game. Is that likely? Or does the MEC have its own GQ fellow that I just hadn't seen before?

Every conference has a GQ guy on a crew. No doubt. Need a hair gel model to liven things up.

No. Bruce is a tall black guy with a shaved head. Typically the best official in the PSAC. The GQ hair gel model is in his crew, however.

The PSAC and MEC officials are extremely different. The PSAC officials call EVERY THING.

When IUP played at Fairmont this year it was nuts. They let every thing go ...

Fairmont saw that up here last year.

You'll know them. They think the whole crowd is there to see them. Every game we have that crew has double the fouls called. Hair Gel is very quick-triggered with the technical -- particularly toward Lombardi. He's probably 35-40 years old.

Re: Iup basketball

If I recall correctly the Hail Mary shot that got waived off came right after Preston Boswell banked in a three.

That's HILLTOPPER PRESTON BOSWELL to you, sir. ; )

I admit it might be hard for the first few minutes of next year's opener to cheer for that guy after he was a major pain in our arse for two years. But, I suspect one clutch three will have us cheering for him in no time!

My buddy Bruce and his crew were the ones who called it off.

Re: Iup basketball

Like to know what view they reviewed because the one with the game clock in the background clearly shows light between the ball and Grossenbacker's fingertip as the clock ticked to zero!
