ever since they've added a ref, it's made things worse, inconsistent and unpredictable. the amount of contact underneath is like watching a sumo match, tickey-tack sh!t at the top gets whistled, make-up calls, celebrating, hanging on the rim, barking, goaltending...yes it's an unpredictable, heat of the moment, thankless, someone has to do it job; but seasons and careers can be decided by it. is video replay needed more? have they defined when and what are the circumstances that allow it as in football? can you call for a replay and put a timeout up as collateral? what's the deal here? sometimes you see a ref review-flagrant fouls, timing issues, 3-point shots and sometimes you don't. have they defined the protocol on video replay-i'm open
In college basketball, the same procedure may also be used to determine if a shot was released before time expired in either half or an overtime period. In addition, NCAA rules allow the officials to use instant replay to determine if a field goal is worth two or three points, who is to take a free throw, whether a fight occurred and who participated in a fight. The officials may also check if the shot was made before the expiration of the shot clock, but only when such a situation occurs at the end of a half or an overtime period. Such rules have also required the NCAA to write new rules stating that, when looking at instant replay video, the zeros on the clock, not the horn or red light, now determine the end of the game.

Honestly I feel like video replays in collegiate and professional football and basketball have gotten a little out of hand. Obviously the most important thing is getting the call/timing right, but can't there be a faster way to do it? These reviews bring great games and the momentum of a team to a screeching halt all because the ref couldn't get the call right the first time.
IMO, there is nothing more frustrating for a fan at a game than to have your team be on a great run, then all of the sudden a 5-minute video review just to put half a second back on the clock, or even worse make no corrections whatsoever.
College football seems to be the most out of hand with every play being reviewed upstairs. If the call is even somewhat questionable it's a review. I mean, do these refs even need to try? On some close plays, it doesn't even matter what they call because it will be reviewed no matter what.
Like I said, I'm all for getting the calls correct, but can we please find a way to expedite the process?
they had some real issues with the badger/spartan game and the clock above the back board, the red light and the score board out of sync. i think they got it right though. must be some ground rules on which clock was the "official clock". was a great example of getting it right though b/c it was the diff. btw. a potential win and a loss even though the shot, if ruled good would have meant overtime.
Yeah, they'll stop the game for some video review, but they keep on playing when a player gets hurt.
Not sure why it needs to be an immediate review on a 2 vs. a 3 with 18 minutes remaining in the first half. If it's that, wait 'til the TV time out, and check then. Only time they should have to go to the monitor for an immediate checking on a 2 vs. 3 should be in the final segment of either half.

This sucks sometimes - especially as in the game when Davonte got hurt and DJO stayed back. But I understand why you have to wait for a dead ball in this case - faked injuries to slow down the pace or stop an opponent's run.
they should have been able to review that no-call goal tending call of west virg.-syracuse. have to get that one right as it was a game changer. if there were a flagrant foul missed under the basket at that time, they would have reviewed that
