I downloaded that video from facebook and looked at it frame by frame and it looks like the light comes on the instant the clock above the backboard hits 00.0. And the ball is clearly still in JVB's hands. But I'll take it! That was an unbelievable game to listen to.

Something for you to consider...
GM is the person directly responsible for this game not being on TV and hence not having any monitor to review. It was his ineptitude at ISU that leads us to this day where our program garners so little respect that TV people assume no one wants to watch ISU MBB on TV.

The light on the backboard is there for this exact reason. The light determines the end of the period.
I thought it wasn't on tv because the event promoter wanting more people at WF? There were tv offers.
You have got to be kidding me!!
The guy had the nerve to insinuate that ISU fans were "cheering against him". He must live in some alternative world because from my chair he was given more benefit of the doubt than about any coach could be for the results he produced...especially in light of the fact that his production as our coach was far inferior to his predecessor that was shown the door pretty darn quickly.
Maybe he should have worried a little more about coaching at ISU and a little less about what the fans may or may not be thinking.

This is correct. The promoters wanted a packed house, and the absence of a televised game sold a lot of tix.
C'mon man.....we all know the guy failed miserably at ISU, but you're looking into this way too far. He made the comment as an afterthought in a joking manner. If you watch the video you would agree.
I agree with you here, it's time to move past throwing GMac under the bus and move on. GMac represented ISU well and he's never said anything bad about his time here since leaving. He even mentioned some good things in the post-game how he helped bring some of our guys to ISU and wishes nothing but the best for them and ISU. GMac's system was not a good fit here but I have no ill-will towards him and like I said in another post we should all be glad he left before he was fired so we didn't have to buy out the remaining contract he had. I think everything will be win-win for both schools once all is said and done. I think GMac will be a good fit in the MVC and Fred already has brought some excitement back and on the plus side we aren't having to pay 2 contracts right now either.
Likely not. He's got playing the one-string-banjo and beating a dead horse down to a science.
As long as some people are on this "let's correct the historical record" kick, when are we going to start petitioning the NCAA to review the call at the end of the '01 Independence Bowl? Yelk's kick looked good from where I was sitting.
(He's never said anything bad about his time here) What would he have to say about his million dollar contract and his sorry performance as a coach. That he ripped off I.S.U for big bucks and scurried like a rat because he knew he was going to be fired after the next year. He's a hero.
