Quick clock at NW?

[JHHawk]

There was 5.2 seconds on the clock,with NW taking the ball out of bounds.
The clock does not start until it touches Thompsons hands,at the exact moment he was fouled.
That took 1.9 seconds off the clock?
I have watched a ton of ball,both NBA and college and that move usually takes at most .3 seconds.
If Iowa has 4.9 seconds it would give them better options at the end.
I am baffled how that timekeeper managed to get almost two full seconds off the clock in that situation.
Screw NW.

I wondered this exact thing watching the game.

Human nature,screw over the other guy if you don't get caught. Pretty normal.

rewound it and looked at it. Clock started a hair before it hit Thompson's hands and then ran for a good half-second after the ref blew his whistle. I was a bit surprised Fran didn't protest more, but I'm not sure if he even had any options on something like that. No way that took 1.9 seconds.

he took about 4 or 5 steps. watch the replay. he wasnt fouled "right away". NU turned up court and he was fouled from behind. Our "Latener" play sucked anyways, wouldnt have mattered. Horrible inbounds pass.

First: Clock stops when the ref blows his whistle-- not when his hand goes in the air, not when the foul is actually committed, but rather when the ref blows his whistle.
Second: All collegiate clocks stop, when the ref blows his whistle. Called technology. Thats why the refs wear those black boxes around their waist-- it sends a ssignal to the clock to stop when air passes through the whistle.

So like i said, the clock stops when? when the ref blows his whistle.

 

[JHHawk]

Good point,clearly the ref did not blow the whistle in a timely fashion.

Looked at your comments,not a single positive comment in 5 months on this board....go to cyclonefanatic where you will feel at home,OK?

I disagree. But that's certainly a glimpse into what's wrong with society in 2011.
