Oso planning to go pro
As ATL MU Warrior notes, that's not what happened.Also, you're describing this as if they were each individual acts, rather than a fluid motion in which he jumped and shot at the same time.The NBA (and numerous leagues that have followed through with the same rule) has determined that a player can get off a shot in .3 seconds. So, yeah, .8 doesn't seem impossible.
what happened on the final play is exactly what happens on all such plays. Perh So, yeah, .8 doesn't seem impossible.
That’s not what he did. The clock doesn’t start till he touches it so all he had to do was make the catch, jump and release.
Speaking of no good, how about the Blue Jay cheerleaders?
This thread has turned into the Warren Commision.Sam Hauser was just a patsy!!
Raving? LOL. One of your favorite tactics.CT and I aren't raving, merely stating what we believe to be a physical impossibility. Do you believe it's possible to jump to catch a ball, land. jump again and release a shot in .8?
The jump to catch the ball is a non-factor. Clock doesn't start until you touch it.
??? He caught/touched the ball at the top of his jump.
Yes. You are making it sound like jumping up to catch the ball should be included in the .8 seconds. It isn't. The time elapsed included landing and going back up. He still might not have been able to do that, but jumping up is a non-factor is elapsed time.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. My point was that he didn't just "catch and shoot" which certainly be accomplished in .8. The fact that he touched the ball at the top of his jump (and therefore had to return to the ground before starting his shooting motion) is what makes .8 not realistic.
Nobody is doing any tactics. Some just find it odd that you're trying so hard to argue MU didn't deserve to win, even though what happened on the final play is exactly what happens on all such plays. Perhaps you should petition the NCAA to install sensors on players so timing could be more precise.
Maybe you break out a stopwatch and time Sam's shot for yourself. Let us know the results.
Based on the information available at the time to the refs, they did nothing wrong and since they called it good on the floor, based on the video evidence they had, the call should have stood.
I actually did this because I was bored and obviously it is far from scientific but most of my tests ran from .86 to .94. .8 on the clock also means the real time could be anywhere from .80 to .89 seconds.Closer than I thought.
I thought the Jay cheerleaders had nice guns!!
