Watch South Alabama's coach go nuts

_ Again, we do not need a monitor. We have a big screen the refs can look at.
If they cannot make a determination from the big board, the play should probably not be overturned. _

The rule is that the only acceptable mode of review is through a courtside monitor on the same side as the scorer's table.

Even if someone showed the ref video of indisputable evidence of the shot coming after the buzzer, he could not have changed the call unless he saw it through a little monitor on the scorer's table.

Thank you. I'm not trying to slam your school if they don't have a monitor. Having said that, I just don't know why any school wouldn't utilize the monitor if they have one available. It seems like a rather petty piece of equipment that can drastically change the outcome of a game.

This make no sense. If there is a close play in the Super Bowl am I going to shut off my HDTV and run into my sons room to see it on a small non-HD monitor?
Oh well, I hate instant replay anyway. What is more boring than watching a guy in a striped shirt look at a monitor? If I were commisioner of the NCAA I would have no instant replay in any sport.

This is a good conversation topic.

2 schools of thought:

1. Replay allows the right call to be made (almost) every time. Championships should not be decided by a bad call. Especially when it's obvious.
2. Replay makes referee's to take the easy way out on calls. It leads to "failsafe" gamecalling. That leads to even worse officiating, which replay is supposed to help with.

Whether it makes sense or not, that is the rule. It's the same way in football, you never see the refs looking at the jumbotron. I have mixed feelings when it comes to Instant Replay. However, I don't like the idea of it being available for some games and not others. If you are going to have instant replay, then make it mandatory for every D-I game. I've seen the monitors, and we aren't talking about a lot of money here.

Like you so wisely pointed out, it's a "mute" point.
lol

Moot point, my apologies. I'm sure you were excited to point that out considering that I'm associated with LSU. Regardless, it could play a huge factor in a lot of situations (both for and against the home team). It was important enough to discuss on local radio, but I guess it's not pertinent enough to discuss on a local message board.

I believe Coach Lee said on his show that the refs were not allowed to look at the big board. They are only allowed to look at courtside monitors-if they are present. Coach Lee said he thought the lack of monitor problem should be solved as the call cd have gone the other way-though Jay pointed out if the call had gone the other way-against the home team-there wd have been more replays on the big board.

Lee did what he should have done-get his team off the court. The other coach did what was expected-was ____ed and fought for his team. Gather he went too far and made an _____ of himself-but I'd imagine any coach under the circumstances wd have at least been ____ed.

It sounds like he agrees with several people in this thread that have brought up the same exact point.

Replay sucks. I love when they challenge the spot of the ball! The spot is never right. It's alway arbitrary!

If they are going to have it each team should have 1 challenge, thats it. It's a game played by humans. Mistakes are made on every play.

The visiting coach allowed his emotions to get the best of him after a tough loss...understandable, but not a good excuse for a poor display of sportsmanship.

Is there a good reason not to have a monitor when one appears to be available....NO.

I think loss in the outcome and the coaches fit is the question of how a player catches a ball passed to him when he is looking back toward his goal, takes 4 to 5 dribbles, and puts up a jump shot that leaves his fingers all within 2.4 secs. Not that in matters...just interesting.

And before anyone leaps on me, I well know that interesting things take place everywhere.

Naaaaww, 'cause it was funny.
