But some of these replay episodes are freakin' ridiculous. The goaltending replay. I understand that the new rule is that a goaltending play can be reviewed any time, but last night's offensive goaltending call near the end against UCLA took over three minutes.

Anybody with two eyes could see - it was offensive goaltending when it happened (95%) and when it was reviewed, what literally should have taken no more than 20 seconds went on for what seemed like forever. This stuff is really ruining the game.

I think we all had a strong sense that the refs really wanted to reverse that call and could not find any reason to do so. It was so obvious on first look at replay that it was offensive goal tending.

It was so obvious when the play happened live

Agree. Even worse was taking so long on the review of the obvious basket interference review

Also their center got a LOT of body on the Brown layup/dunk. Clear foul and dangerous

Hate to complain about the refs but even if it isn't true, it FELT like they were really out to get us last night. The foul call on Aimaq under the basket in the second half was outragious. Literally didn't even touch the guy.

One of the biggest problems with the review process is it gives an extra long timeout to both teams down the stretch whether each team has exhausted theirs or not. Imagine a coach without any TOs late in a game calling for review to get a chance to talk to his players, or settle them down, or let them rest for a final surge.

McClain suggested 1 minute max and if you don't see it in 1 minute, the call stands. Meaning it is not clearly a reversal, so it stands.

Just found out I was one of the spelling dummies.....McClain is not McClain--it's McClean....That sounds like some scrub it clean device, but so be it.

I agree, that would be the more relevant reason.
Me, I'm selfish. My reason is I simply can't stand it. Like many posters said, the way that game was going it felt like it never was going to end. The goaltending review made it that much worse.

Well RedlessWardrobe, I watch a ton of Big East BB on FS1 and almost every game goes over. So you might miss the first 15 minutes of your game...But that is not my big reason, nor is it my impatience. It is that it changes the game. I think each side gets 4 TOs per half, then there are TV TOs at the 15, 10 and 5 minute (or close to that) such that the whole game is slowed way down to pay for putting it on---too much when you add it prolonged reviews. One minute or the call as called stands. Love it.

I believe the 16, 12, 8, and 4 minute TO's are technically "Official Timeouts". Yes, they are tied to TV and happen at the first whistle after the clock goes past one of those benchmarks. However it was explained to me by a longtime coach that originally they were scheduled for the officials to get a breather during the game as they don't get to sub out and need a break. Sounds reasonable.
I agree that there are too many additional team timeouts per half. They need to cut back on a few

Don McLean wrote himself a Cracker Jack of a song there. There was a point in 1972 when it was played on AM radio virtually 24/7.
I was only going to listen to 30 seconds of that video, but it was so well performed, it brought back so many memories and the British audience was so in to it that I had to let it play out.
Don used to play with The Clancy Brothers from time to time.
