I love that both teams are celebrating with their own court rush at the same time!!


Go Gophers!!
 

Brutal...feel for the kid that made the mistake of lobbing the ball rather than holding onto it....
 

Couple of things:

1. What a crazy turn of events!
2. Go to the 2:42 mark and you'll see that the buzzer is at 0 but the clock on the tv screen still has .1. I'm not sure he got it off.
3. That's the longest 2.9 seconds ever. The reason being the clock didn't start on time. First, look at when the ball is first touched (around :27). If you go frame by frame, you can see the clock on the screen (not the official clock) doesn't start for a short time after the ball is touched. Then go to about :30 and you'll see the clock on the screen is ahead of the real clock. So if the clock on the screen started too late and still was ahead of the real clock, then you know the real clock started way too late. It just seems like way too action to happen in 2.9 seconds. No way.

Feel bad for the guy who thought he was doing the right thing by throwing the ball up in the air. It is crazy how fast that guy caught the ball and got the shot off.
 

I don't think it was a mistake to lob it. He would've been fouled with about 2 seconds left. He just didn't lob it quite high enough.
 

I think the clock started on time. The inbounds pass was whipped pretty hard and the deflection was almost immediate. I see the shot clock is about .1 seconds ahead of the clock on the tv screen (but is the shot clock official?) Maybe just signal delay ... we're talking HS basketball broadcast here, not ESPN. I don't know. Either way, sucks to win or lose based on the difference of .1 seconds. I remember back in the day when timing switched from single digits to tenths, thinking why the heck that would ever matter. Now I wonder when we'll go to hundredths.
 


Lobbing was the right decision but how in the world do you put it up that softly? You've got to throw that thing as high in the air as you can.
 

"I have no words" - followed by a lot of words.
 

Mt Vernon got screwed.

Ball still in hand.
TV clock (which doesn't matter, according to what I learned in the AZ game earlier this year) is still at 0.1.
Clock above backboard (supposedly the #2 indicator according to what I learned in the AZ game earlier this year) is at 0.0.
Red lights around hoop (supposedly the #1 indicator according to what I learned in the AZ game earlier this year) is on.

Verdict: No good.
 

Judging by the picture above, the shot should not have counted. The red light was on, and the ball was in the hand.

But, it was a great shot.
 



Yes. Great shot and stupid "lob" leading to it.
 

That was not a lob, that was a soft pass lol. But yeah, if they could have reviewed it, that would have been nice, but live, I honestly thought it was good. The one question I would have is, it sounded like one of the refs called it dead on the spot as the ball was in the air, like he got it off too late. So in that conference, one of the other ones must have overruled him. You do wonder about that part of it, but it's so close, just a crazy play. I would have hated to have to call that one.
 

Since they don't have the luxury of video review, the adage of "If you have to watch it frame-by-frame to figure out if the refs got it right, the benefit of the doubt goes to the ref" applies here.
 

Here is my favorite controversy. This short summary doesn't do it justice. If I remember right the Alabama girl caught the tip turned took at least one dribble an then shot. all in .8 seconds. I think it can only be a immediate catch and shoot under 1 sec?


Latoya Caudle's jumper from the top of the key as time expired lifted No. 11 Alabama to a 75-74 win over No. 23 UCLA in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional on Sunday night.

Trailing 74-73 with 0.8 seconds left to play, Brittney Ezell's inbound pass hit Dominique Canty, who tipped it to Caudle. Caudle immediately fired up the winning shot, which hit the backboard before falling in.

But UCLA coach Kathy Olivier claimed the clock never started, so Caudle's shot could not possibly have gotten off in time. Olivier also complained that before inbounding the ball, Ezell ran along the baseline - which is illegal after a timeout.

Olivier filed an official protest and officials gathered on the floor for more than 20 minutes to review the play. The officials ruled that the play was good and the game was over.
 



My favorite part of the whole video is after the ref calls the basket good. He runs off like he stole something. LOL
 

So awesome.. yes you go by the led lights on the back board this is not easy to do if you are trying to figure out if it left hand or not..

There is no ref in the world that will call a shot no good if a clock does not start on time unless its like 1+ seconds where u can tell for sure it was not started in time. So yes human lag time does work into the favor of the team with the ball.. because the last thing the table wants to do is start it early..
 

I'm not a big fan of these types of buzzer beaters. It's just such a fluke way to win and really isn't about making a great play.

I would say intercepting the pass, somehow getting it off in such a short amount of time and even coming close to the basket is a pretty great play. I get what you mean though.
 

NY Times: Big Shot on Campus, and Everywhere, After Buzzer-Beater

In the 24 hours that followed the buzzer-beater turned international Internet sensation, Khalil Edney rode in a limousine, stayed overnight at a Manhattan hotel, conducted national television interviews, held a makeshift news conference and resumed the end of his usual routine — an anticlimactic high school basketball practice.

Go Gophers!!
 


Tough break for the losing team, but the refs made the right call for a high school game in which there is no replay. Gotta count it. Mount vernon made a huge mistake by throwing the errant pass.

I agree, but even in the frame by frame review, that picture is pretty fuzzy, is it possible in that frame the ball is just off his fingertips?

Either way, bad decision to lob it so weakly, great heads up play to intercept and shoot so quickly.

Just to clarify my post here. In no way do I blame the refs or clock operator in any way. It was extremely close. It's just that every time I watch that clip it seems like the 2.9 seconds took forever.
 

It does appear that the clock didn't start until the guy that "lobbed" it touched it. It didn't start on the first touch where it ping-ponged.
