Ref's angle on "goaltending"

This camera angle is about the same as ref's that made the call --> https://vine.co/v/OYz6QvA0DEr

Larry Brown is right, that call should be reviewable. However, considering Looney rebounded the shot in great position to score, it would have been possession UCLA if the call was reversed; and if UCLA didn't subsequently score, they'd feel like the ones robbed by having to inbound what appeared to be a sure put back. If UCLA did inbound and score to tie or take the lead, there would have been little or no time left.

Best guess is that if the call wouldn't have been made, the game would have gone OT. A great game would have been even better and decided by the players.

Very likely BruinPops, but we'll never know because the ref decided to make that call from that angle. Why the ref from behind didn't overrule because he had the proper angle is what really gets me. A wild game for sure and I would've been fine either way with the outcome if it was decided by the players. What a shame.

Nice elbow shove by the UCLA maskman on Yanick under the basket as well. What was the official under the basket looking at anyway. He failed twice. Agree, if you don't want to make that shove call at the end of the game so be it, but don't also go along with a bogus call at the same time. Wow.

Too many what if moments. The sad fact is the game's signature play was made by a ref, not by the players.

Looney would have caught an airball and the time clock would have expired. SMU ball. We win.

Eff of BruinPops.

UCLA was setting illegals screens all day long. Refs cant make calls that far away. What the hell was the ref doing that was under the rim?

[RebStang]

Seriously, dude... stop trying to rationalize your undeserved win on our board. Instead of trying to convince us that you didn't steal a win because of a horrible call, why don't you go try to convince a few cars on the 405 of it?

Everyone in the arena thought the call was Looney's shove in the back. That's the only call here. The entire arena booed the call even after the game. It was pure chaos.

No joke. They only called one of them if I remember correctly.

The only one of the many obvious ones that called was the one where the guy basically shoved Nic to the ground. There were 5 or 6 just as obvious that the refs completely ignored.

BruinPops - All I can see in this video is the Referee standing right there on the baseline with the best angle of all of them NOT calling a goaltend.

You will not find anyone here on this board that will have sympathy.

My suggestion is that you call your AD and suggest that UCLA set up a home and home with SMU starting this next year. I would love to see UCLA come to Moody - and I would be the first one purchasing an airline ticket to LAX to head to Pauley.

Excellent idea!

I'd be for that. Big Larry Brown fan. Not sure UCLA would go for it considering how Brown left and the aftermath but who knows, SMU is a program on the rise and we don't shy away from bigtime OOC games. Kentucky, No. Carolina and the Zags this year.
