Watch South Alabama's coach go nuts

_ I know for a fact they have been used in games that aren't televised. I'm just curious if the Cajundome has this capability? If they do, why use it for some games and not others. _

man, why are you so concerned with what we have, or do not have?

When you work in Lafayette every day and listen to local radio, questions tend to arise. Like I said in another thread, my wife and most of her family graduated from UL-Lafayette. My father in-law played baseball there and his family were very involved at one point in time. I lived in Lafayette for nearly a decade and also have a lot of good friends that went to school there. I'm not some random LSU fan trying to flame your board.

_ I could just about imagine what this place would have been like had they waved the basket off only to later find out the shot left his hand in time.

The sound of the horn and the release of the ball is what the Ref. looks for. Not the clock above the basket. The horn is in sink with the clock. When the clock says "00:00" the horn goes off. The Ref knew there was only 2.4 second left on the game clock so you can bet he had his eyes on the shooters hands and the ball...

_ Interesting. I could just about imagine what this place would have been like had they waved the basket off only to later find out the shot left his hand in time. If you have the capability it seems like you would utilize it to ensure that everyone in a situation similar to this one receives a fair shake. _

The biggest monitor you would wish for was hanging from the ceiling. High Def at that. The same shot on that screen would have been the same on a 12" monitor on the scorers table. Just look up Mr. Arrow, look up.......

UL is known for taking the easy way out. This is the school that thought it was ok to not have a website for a year. If the NCAA doesn't require it there is no way this school will go the extra mile. Besides with a new NBA video board who needs sideline monitors.

Yeah the coach knew after seeing the big screen that the shot was good, he just was irate that his team lost on a last second desperation shot...

Personally, I think you are a random LSU fan trying to flame this board.

Surely you know then that we go by UL and Louisiana

Oh yeah, they use them when game arent televised too. I didnt say they didnt. but they are not mandatory, so they didnt have one

[MetryCajun]

This arguement is baseless. We don't need a crappy monitor. We have a giant jumbotron. We have all seen several footage accounts of the shot...all showed it was before the horn. The USA coach was just being a poor sport.

[Tiredof theBS]

The fact is that there are more games in the NCAA W/O a monitor than there are games with a monitor. The rule is that there is a monitor at televised games, and that the officials can only use the monitor if it is on the same side of the court as the official score keeper.

Man this aint rocket science to install a monitor. To think the Cajundome don't have the capability. Give me a break. If they can put a score board that some MBA areans envy they can sure fine a $50 monitor and a few feet of coax and a couple of RCA connectors and let one of the students connect it between beers....and by your statement "why use it for some games and not others" would suggest they or capable....have a good day.
