Completely off the wall, but did anyone see the officiating sequence....

[JDHoss]

....at the end of the double OT game between Ball St. & Eastern Michigan on ESPN Buzzer Beater? Those 3 guys should be fired or at least suspended for the rest of the season. I don't know how the EMU coach kept from having a stroke.

In short:

* EMU led 87-85 when BSU missed a shot.
*EMU grabbed the rebound with around 12 seconds to go.
*Two BSU players were trying hard to foul the EMU player who had the ball.
*No whistle
*One of the BSU players finally tries to tie him up which resulted in a tussle for the ball with them spinning around.
*Still no whistle.
*A second BSU player reaches in and after dragging the guy a couple of feet, rips the ball away.
*Still no whistle.
*BSU player who ripped the ball away looks like a running back as he takes about three steps before throwing it to an open man at the top of the key for a game winning 3
*Still no whistle.
*Refs go to the table to review the play.....to see if there should be any time left. They "award" EMU .7 of a second to go the length of the floor.

Absolutely one of the worst officiating sequences I've ever seen, which is saying a lot.

Yes, it was an abomination, worse than the Miami-Duke football fiasco. That crew should be suspended !

sounds like slop

also raises an issue that's really started to PISS ME OFF w/college basketball

going to the f'ing monitor to review plays --- MAKE THE CALL YOU DAMN BUNCH OF MARXIST COWARDS,,,,,,,,sheesh

basketball wasn't meant to be played that way -- makes me want to puke **DEEP** from the bowels of my being

Didn't care about the no foul as much as the no walk

i'm not sure the emu guy gets fouled, but there's simply no way there isn't a walk or tie-up on the baselline. inexcusable

Officiating can be horrible
