Correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t a player audibly call for a timeout? Did you ever consider the possibility that the Ohio State player started calling for timeout before he made the hand signal, and the official simply had a slightly delayed reaction?

You are all missing the main point on the missed 5 second call....the Ohio St player TRAVELED with the ball before the 5 second call and the 'timeout' was granted!
If it's judged by the supervisors for the officiating crews that they didn't call a good game, they don't advance in the NCAA tournament to call more games as the tournament winnows the field.
At least that's how it used to be done, hopefully it's still done that way.
I thought the same thing. A T would have meant another 2 points to overcome, but it might have paid for itself if the officiated improved.
Speaking of missed calls, I swear I watched the big guy from OSU jump and land before releasing the ball while taking a 10 foot jump shot along the baseline late in the second half. It came up way short and was eventually put in after an offensive rebound.
Lard really played inspired last night. Showed some good athleticism and fire.
He traveled too. Slid both feet two different times to create a better angle for the pass. You aren't allowed to move your feet all there.
I think the most impressive thing from the coaches on here is that they think when a game is within an possession or two with seconds left, that the coach should lose his mind maybe get a technical, and make sure the outcome is decided.
Me, I would rather see him focus on coaching his team.
And it’s absolutely hysterical that you all don’t think he is in the refs ear during the game. But we also have people that don’t think he talks in the huddle too. So, maybe there’s a reason why they don’t get it.

Ya I specifically remember seeing Steve talk to the zebras 3 times, which I'm sure is a small sample of how many times he actually says something. He is respectful and I think the refs genuinely respect Steve for his demeanor. Not sure if it actually works though, considering we had pretty tough calls against us all year.
I also think that bad body language is a big problem on this team. Refs aren't going to like it when you pout and complain after every close no call. Sure as hell won't help you when you need the calls later on.
Did you watch the video? He signals for TO after the arm counts to 5, and is granted. NO matter how you want to slice it, OSU was bailed out.
I for one can't wait for another apology letter for the collection
