I noticed that Roy is also not using the traditional "T with the hands" signal and instead goes for the "two hands on shoulders" approach. Could have been part of the reason the ref missed it.

Chicago likes it because it's 90% NFL. It's the only national show that's been able to do well here. Every other show on the radio here is exactly like DAAAA BEARS from SNL. That seems like a parody but it's more of a documentary recreation.
Regardless, it is national exposure. Anytime we can get ISU in the national media for positive things, I like it. Imagine if we beat UConn in MSG. ESPN is practically the voice of the UConn Huskies.
Can't believe there is any debate. It was 1.6 seconds. When they inbounded the ball immediately (as in, within a half second), they were screwed. No way the ref has time to watch them inbound and then turn around and see the UNC coach calling time out. If he had whipped his head around, maybe they have .7, passing in from 3/4 court. Either way, the mistake is on UNC for throwing the ball in.
Also it appears he wasn't making that signal to the refs, a ref runs past him and Roy completely ignores him. I think he was telling his players to come to half court then call the time out. UNC just screwed up.
Any play inbounded where they inbounded it needed to be a mid court heave. It wasn't, so they didn't get a shot off.
The player may have looked up at the clock, but he also should have saw it said 1.6 when they inbounded with 3/4 of the court to cover.
What, exactly, should they have said? I swear, some people just wake up itching to complain about ****.
they said many times that they agreed with the call and thought it was handled correctly. they were asking in a hypothetical situation maybe with a little more time, is it fair for the player to have to operate by real time rather than being able to use the clock.
What they needed to do was a bullet pass to half court and call the time out for a 1 second shot at winning the game. Instead they passed it short and it never stood a chance. As far as Roy saying he wanted an immediate TO called to set up a full court play, that's BS. With 2 TOs left, maybe he wanted the TO called immediately to make sure they pass to half court and call another immediate TO to set up one last play, but there's no way Roy is setting up a full court play in that situation. Those rarely ever work - about the only time they do is the tournament legends everyone remembers, like Duke-Kentucky or Valpo-Ole Miss. But for every one of those there's hundreds of failed similar plays.
Good point, but I still wouldn't have wanted to find out what was going to happen if they put time back on the clock.
The thing I don't understand is when there was the long delay between when McAdoo made his last FT and ISU had the ball out of bounds why wouldn't Roy tell his guys in the huddle what he wanted to do in either situation, a made basket by ISU or not. I put that back on Roy for not setting up his players during what seemed to be a 10 minute delay.
It is BRUTAL. People complain about KXNO...it doesn't get better with bigger markets. It truly is bearss, bearsss, bearsss, bearssss, bearsss. I'd truly welcome some polish sausage talk in all reality. If you're not all bearsss all the time you have to be boring national NFL talk like Mike & Mike.
