I was at this game. Awful, awful, awful.

Kansas must be destroyed.

The banked in 3 at end of regulation? Soul-crushing.

The non-foul on Withey was worse because it was not player-controlled.

Several thoughts:

1. @brentblum still defends the refs. I don't remember his rationale, but it wasn't convincing. Maybe something about "not being able to take points off the board once play has resumed." I think whatever kept them from doing so has been fixed now. Still can't imagine why they couldn't fix the score, but could give Homan the second free throw. Just a circus of f'n bad ref'n.

2. The announcers are indeed clueless.

3. The ISU bench should take a lot of the responsibility. They should have been running on the court forcing the refs to stop the play before KU has an opportunity to shoot. Homan and Vroman both stop and look around like they don't know what is happening. Somebody on the bench should always be tasked with watching the refs, the clock, the number of timeouts, etc.

The players at the free throw line should have raised a stink and stepped in the lane before they ever gave the ball to Homan - as soon as the official indicated 1 and 1 rather than 2 shots. If that is how it went down they have to share the blame. If he indicated 2 shots and then let play continue after a miss there is literally no excuse for that officiating.

Did the refs indicate 1-and-1? I don't see that on the video clip. Homan acts like he didn't know it was a 1-and-1! Same with Vroman. And those guys had some decent basketball IQs. I think they would have reacted if they knew it had been called a 1-and-1.

Seems like the KU guys just pulled a fast one and got away with it.

Like the whole state

The whole state, every one of its inhabitants unto the third and fourth generation, and all Jayhawk jerseys and other paraphernalia.

That is exactly what happened. One ref said two shots the other signaled one and one. The PA announcer said it was one and one.

Do you have another clip that shows this? I don't see it on the clip in the OP.

The linked article says, "The public-address announcer told the capacity crowd that Homan would be shooting a one-and-one from the free-throw line, and apparently that notion stuck with Saturday's officiating crew of Tom O'Neill, Danny Hooker and Paul Janssen."

So it seems to be the Phog PA who pulled the fast one!

Can rob gray do a where are they now with these officials? I bet they still laugh when they see each other and this play comes up.

Not sure about this year, but I know Paul Jannsen ref'd a game at Hilton last year.

I remember the old justification that there's no provision for taking points off the board.
Where was the provision to put them on in the first place?

has this provision been corrected, or did something related (not as bad) happen. In the BYU -Gonzaga game the refs called a foul and sent the wrong guy to the line where he makes the first FT. The Gonzaga points out that the wrong guy shooting. Refs huddle, and take the pt off the board, and have the correct shooter shoot 2.
