correct the mistake. We've seen some changes to try and fix this but it's still a problem. There needs to be a way for an off the court/field official/ref to buzz down and let the on-court/field official/ref know there was a missed call. If everyone watching on TV knows something was missed the people in charge should as well.

Responses:

I wasn't watching live. I assume the NU call. When did the TV audience know? Had the Zags gone down and scored or had Collins meltdown/technical stopped play? -- (edited) - zunk xometimes Mar 19, 07:41 8
- The whole TV audience didn't know at first but I'm sure some did. Collins saw it and as the teams ran down court he ran out and at the ref. - Krusty Mar 19, 07:56 6
  - And you fix it by doing what Reagen said. You stop play and reset the game back to the point of the missed call. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 19, 07:59 5
    - So if play had not been stopped by the technical, and Gonzaga scores, THEN it is determined the prior play was goal tending, you not only reset the - zunk xometimes Mar 19, 09:02 4
      - The hope is that the ref/official in the booth upstairs catches the mistake and buzzes down before a team can score, especially more than once. - Krusty Mar 19, 09:37
      - yeah, that would be a terrible plan. I think they would need replay challenges like in the NFL, 2 a game, but have to be used immediately -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 09:13 1
        
        Buzzer to the ref like in football or hockey. 15 secs from "that play looks hinkey" to play stopped. -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 09:19
      - Oh, it's right below. Doh! -- nm - zunk xometimes Mar 19, 09:04
- Reset to the time of the foul and begin play from there. - Reagen Mar 19, 07:45
