"MAC policies prohibit institutional personnel from making public comments unduly critical of any game officials or other administrative personnel."

Sounds to me like Dakich could win this one on appeal. ;-) Seriously, in what way could you possibly criticize a MAC official that would not be "due"?

Where's Weatherspoon's sanction for banging on the scorer's table buzzer like a four-year-old on a sugar high?

That's a cop-out for the MAC to say to the "officials clearly acted within their authority in the administration of the basketball rules."

OF COURSE there's a rule that says, "a technical foul shall be assessed to a team if they are not promptly ready for play" or some crap like that. But you do NOT make that call at the end of a game.

I wish Chryst would have said that BG did not return to the bench in a timely manner. At least then he would have put the blame more on BG.

Here's a link to a page that contains the NCAA Basketball rule book. I don't have time to look through it now, but I'm curious to read the rule that the officials enforced in that game.

This goes back to coaching: you play until the buzzer sounds and the game is over.

I think it's been established that in college basketball, when you are on the winning end of a controversial finish...especially on the road...you have your team sprint off the court ASAP. Even the game analyst said it was standard protocol. We've seen it a million times. Forget the handshakes...run to the lockeroom and shut the doors. In this case Dakich gave it his best shot but he was busted. In the age of video replay you can't just expect to run away and hide. He should have just had his team go back out and inbound the ball and it could have been done in well under 10 minutes.

^^ Right, because BGSU was losing the game when they went to the lockerroom.

It goes back to the referees overextending their "power".

Nobody has answered this question yet:

Quote:I still don't know the amount of time from when the game was "over" and BG ran to the lockerroom to when the referees determined that 0.6 seconds should be left.

Then how much time elapsed from when the referees determined that 0.6 seconds should be left to when the technical foul was assessed.

If I recall correctly, on our show yesterday, Ray Mernagh who had spoken to some sources at BG, indicated that seven minutes had transpired before BG was notified.

PS - You gotta listen to our show folks!

With all due respect to many posters, either BG was hosed or Dakich is an idiot. While the latter may or may not be true. it seems to me the former happened at Buffalo. The refs should have notified BG long before anyone was in the shower.

I would have been on the team bus already. lmfao

Could BG have just run two players back out to inbound the ball? Throw it all the way down the court so there'd be no time to even throw a shot up?

Is there any rule about having a minimum number of players on the floor?

I think that's allowable because it's really funny.

Seven minutes is a pretty long time.

How much time until the T was called?

In hindsight, yes he should have.

But, WTF were the refs thinking that they had to put up an extra .6 sec?

Why would it be worth it to anyone to see BG inbounds the ball, get fouled, and drag out the contest for another 5+ minutes?

Maybe FunkmasterFlash ought to ponder that.

As long as you start the game with five, you can then play less after the game is started. So yes, they could have done that.

I was at the game, it did not take seven minutes for the first person to run back to the locker room when the refs were looking at the TV monitors.

But if that person was not a game referee it would not matter. He would have no authority to tell BG coaches anything.

What did you have it as on your stopwatch?

This conference is a joke. The officiating is a joke. Unfortunately the biggest joke of all appears to be our AD, Greg Christopher. Greggers appears to think serving the interests of the conference comes before taking care of his athletes and coaches.

He's playing Lester while Rick Chryst gets to be Willie Tyler...

Yes, what BG and the MAC need are more coaches who give profanity-laced postgame interviews with the press. That would show the world how classy this conference can be. The AD had no choice but to reprimand him as he did. Dakich is lucky he wasn't suspended.
