ND lost at the FT line, making just 10 of 26. And we had only 3 TO.

The TV replay shows Ames being lightly pushed well before he jumped for the last shot. What's the rule covering continuation?

But the ref only calls a foul as Ames is going into his shooting motion.

To me it looked like the foul was well before the shooting motion. I saw a light push, then Ames set his feet, then jumped, then released the shot. I'm not sure about what constitutes a shooting motion.

It is the new "continuation" emphasis.


Thanks for that. IMHO the contact was well before any upward motion and it was not a running jump shot.

One of the most exciting games I've seen at Haas in years, thank you Dai Dai and the team for not giving up. As far as quibbling about a continuation… you're missing the forest through the trees, it was an incredible clutch buzzer beater, and then an ice-in-veins free throw. The calls were missed on both sides the whole game, we were better in the end and deserved this confidence-boosting win.
Bring on the Virginia schools!

Back from the Haas...

Feelings of disappointment at the way we've played this week.
Feeling of surprise at the way the game ended. Still haven't wrapped my head around it... a 4-point play at the end?!?
Feeling of relief because we needed the win.

SMH at going back and reading the posts in the game thread, but there were some really funny posts (KenBurnski, bearister and some others... ).

Bench players just saved that coach his job. What an embarrassment for ND.

Ok, what did I miss at the game?


ND's coach went after the ref right after the buzzer.

Watch the ref's hand. The first contact was not called. The second contact when the ref's hand goes up was as Aims was gathering to shoot. You cannot let a foul from behind take away a shot when the offensive player beat his defender.

Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry charges at official after controversial call

https://sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-basketball/article/notre-dame-coach-micah-shrewsberry-charges-at-official-after-controversial-call-141034417.html

*In light of this incident and ND's refusal to accept a Bowl Game bid, I would hope ND will soon be offering a seminar on Good Sportsmanship to student body and staff so that going forward their conduct lines up with what appears to be a mostly fictional reputation of espousing Catholic values.


"Good question. No, it's never ok for the coach to attempt to put a referee in a LAPD choke hold."
