My kid, Samford student athlete, is losing his shite right now. So glad he had a test today so that we were not there in person. Would have been even more devastated spending $3000 for a couple of plane tickets and a hotel to walk out with a loss after another blown call by a ref. Already been through that as an AU grad in Minneapolis. Samford deserved a shot to take it down 5 on 4 with 14 seconds left for a chance at the win. Absolute garbage that something so blatant cannot be corrected in that situation.

I didn’t say the call was good, and I know we’re losing in two days even if we coasted tonight
But Samford still had another shot and couldn’t convert. They probably would’ve won by 3 possessions if it went to OT

Lot of difference trying to convert a 5 on 4 break away down 1 for the win and having to come down after a made free throw and make a 3 to tie it. That play is every bit as big to those Samford students and players as the blown call in the Final 4 is to Auburn people. Hate it for them as I know from experience they are still going to be pissed off 5 years from now about it.

Think of how excruciatingly long it already takes them to review a fairly obvious out-of-bounds play.
Imagine them broadening that out to every garbage foul they call during the final few minutes of a game.
The only way this would work, IMO, is to have strict rules on what could be looked at and when, but I don't know what those would have to be to keep any sort of end-game momentum from evaporating.
As a side note, when they go to rules expert Gene Steratore or whoever, half the time he's seeing it differently than the officials anyway, so a foul review could still result in controversy.
