The Breakdown: Hawkeyes Fall Short at Minnesota

[RobHowe]

A gutty effort by Iowa came up short during a double-overtime loss at Minnesota on Wednesday. We look back at how it went down in The Breakdown:

Let's just get it out there, shall we?

If you ever see the replay of the end of regulation, watch the ref stand there like a statue while Baer screams timeout. It's like if he doesn't move a muscle, it didn't happen.

Ellingson says "you never want to leave it in the refs hands, I should have called timeout sooner". I know there is nothing else you can say there, but when you are that good of free throw shooter, you don't call timeout before you're in trouble. You call timeout exactly when he did. He maybe should have been a little stronger with the ball, but you can't just assume a ref will ignore your timeout call.

Are you talking about the full court heave?

I think that was at the end of the first ot. I'm talking the one where we had 8 seconds left and Bohannon brought the ball up the floor and they denied Jok so Bohannon was cough with no dribble so he turned around and heaved it up. Baer saw he was in trouble so frantically called time out but the ref just stood there like an idiot. Would have had 2 seconds to inbound the ball and miss anyway because Iowa doesn't make last second shots.

It happened at end of regulation and OT.

Baer, Bohannon, and of course, Ellingson at end of regulation. Baer and Bohannon have to run to a referee screaming timeout; the Barn is loud, the refs will be watching the ball (unless it's a good crew -- this wasn't and the Hispanic looking ref is just not good), they can't assume the ref will hear or look for them.

Same situation in OT with Baer.

The one that ticks me off is the Ellingson time out call. As soon as the ball is inbounded that close to the baseline, the baseline ref has to leave his cozy area on the far side of the basket and sprint to the ball because any kind of common sense and experience will tell him that there will be a call for timeout -- that's why the Iowa bench was livid--and who knows there might even possibly be a foul.

It was a horrible call because the ref was out-of-position -- a spectator -- and made a lazy call that may have cost Iowa the game.

I'm also ticked off with all these reviews at the end of games that allow for extra timeouts to teams that have no timeouts.

The NCAA needs to do something about it. Make teams stay on the floor (in free throw circle) opposite their bench. And of course, coaches in their box.

It's freaking ridiculous.

So...I'm dying to know what Fran said in the post game.

You're right that it's stupid to allow players to talk to the coach during reviews. It makes no sense at all. It's also dumb how long they give a coach to sub in for a player who fouled out. There is no reason for that amount of time at all.

Baer got plowed over while setting a screen at the end of OT1 that was not called as well.

The same thing that happened in the VCU game where they did call it. A foul is a foul regardless of the score and time.
