NCAA STATEMENT: Says nothing

[ChrisMWilliams]

Response from John Adams, NCAA National Coordinator of Men's Basketball Officiating, to pool reporter in Dayton regarding Ohio State-Iowa State game:

"I spoke with the official, and he determined the defender established legal guarding position outside the restricted area prior to the offensive players leaving the floor to start his shot. When asked, the official said he did not see the defender's foot over the restricted area line. By rule, this is not a reviewable play."

 

[timappelgate]

Shocking.

 

[ajk4st8]

Well at least that is settled

 

[RedlineSi]

Ok.........

Wait, wut? Of course the official who called it is going to say he got it right.

That was the lamest statement I have ever read.

 

[andybernard]

Haha. Yeah.

 

[CycloneErik]

Outstanding.

So, is this Oglesby dude actually a Big 12 official?
If so, we could rack up another worthless statement or apology or pat on the head.

 

[SC Cy]

I'd almost rather them turn a blind eye. This blows.

 

[Trice]

Why is this foot thing the controversy? Craft wasn't set when Clyburn left his feed. Period, end of sentence. It's really a far simpler call than it's being portrayed.

 

[Rabbuk]

Shoulda saved the ink and time it took to write that.

 

[Spam]

ISU needs to issue a response to this statement based on Clyburn's version of events

 

[nickcyv]

Oh yay, that makes it better.

 

[3TrueFans]

So he got it wrong on every account, legal defending position, offensive player in the air, inside the circle. Way to go!

 

[gocubs2118]

The part that bugs the **** out of me is it looks like the ref is about to call a block and then in the middle of making the block motion, he changes it to a charge. Look at the replay.

 

[MNclone]

Did Will even touch Craft? It share looked like Thomas crashed into him......

 

[sodakjoe]

At least they aren't apologizing. That makes me feel even worse. It was a bad call, but it was a tough call. Hard to really ride the officials in this case. I don't envy them at all.

There are no Big 12 officaials. Officals work every conference.

 

[Clone96]

Well I'll sleep better at night now knowing this.....

 

[Rods79]

Is that the official official response...that confirms nothing more than was said in the post game? "Hey man, do you think you made the right call?"..."yes"...."well alright. That settles it!"
