Officiating in this game

[EagerFan]

At 7:04-7:05 of the above clip, you can see the ball in the cylinder when #14 hits the rim with his hand and again on his follow thru, so hits the rim twice. How can that not be goal tending? And the camera angle is really good imho.

I will say, with all my raging on the refs, if Ty had made the shot or Leach had dunked after, we'd have an entirely different set of bad ref calls deciding the game on the other end to complain about.

• Where can one see this Big Ten statement you are referencing, PurpleWhiteBoy?
  
  
• This is where it's a judgment call: "Basket interference occurs when a player... Causes the basket or backboard to vibrate when the ball is... in the cylinder"... both Penn State players hit the rim / backboard, and particularly given the way the rim was contacted by #14 (he hits the rim straight on and then his hand slides along the front side of the rim to the left) and the ball being in the cylinder at that time, the refs could have made that judgment call (which would have matched the result that was actually the fair result -- no one can say with a straight face the whistle at 6.1 actually affected the result of the play)

Dave Revsine read it outloud at some point later in the evening, during one of the other games or the wrap-up afterwards.
The statement was released an hour or 3 after our game ended, because social media was all over it - such that the Big Ten felt it necessary to respond.
I am only paraphrasing what I heard Revsine say.

Wisconsin just beat Iowa 116 to 85 at the Kohl center. Iowa shot 18 free throws. Wisconsin shot 17.

That is NBA level scoring and junior high level defense.

And reasonable officiating

 

[IGNORE2]

This happens regularly because... say it with me... Northwestern men's basketball is not a glamor program. Pundits pick it yearly to finish last in the conference, so there are no repercussions when they get screwed.

And then see my solution above

That sequence at the end was the epitome of a catch 22.

The whistle blew because it was goaltending.

Because there was goaltending, the put back does not count.

But we have to review the goaltending to make sure it was the correct call.

As it turns out, it was not a goaltend.

But because the whistle made the play dead, the put back does not count.

So there is no goaltending, there is no put back, and no basket for the cats.

Have a nice day.

Exactly. Once the whistle blew the rest of the rules screwed us

Well "the whistle blew" because a ref effed up and blew his whistle during live play with the ball at the rim.
Incompetent review and decision.
Misapplication of dumb rule.
