Markus inbounded the ball because with his lack of height he needs to create space to get off his shot.....with 8 tenths left there is no time for that......so Wojo used him in the best way he could given the circumstances,,,,,,,,he trusted his to make the pass to option A....Sam..6'8....or option B Joey....6'9

He didn't get it off. Caught a break. You can zoom in. Looks pretty definitive to me.

Oh well lol

Let's put it this way:

That was one of the worst refereeing jobs at the college level I have ever witnessed.

If people are going to blame Creighton's loss on the refs screwing up that call, then they need to go back and look at all of the times the refs screwed up.

There were a ton of fouls on Markus and company that were never called.  If they had been, and we had the additional free throw attempts, we would have won anyway.

I am not saying it's a legitimate argument, but you can't fairly use one without the other.
Have some patience, FFS.

Fair enough, but I would also disagree on the suggestion that no human being can do this.  We know what is possible with all the billions of people on this planet?  Maybe 99.9% of humans can't, but by all means someone can do what you just described.  Can they in .3...no.  .5...maybe.  .8, sure. 

Read old articles of SCIENTISTS  (we must believe science) that said a sub 4 minute mile by a human being was impossible. Not only impossible, but would be dangerous.  Until it happened.  That running under 10 seconds in the 100 meters...impossible for a human being. Until it happened. 

https://impossiblehq.com/impossible-case-study-sir-roger-bannister/

... and remember we are talking about Sam Hauser. He's the man!

Glad we won. Lets enjoy it and leave the debates to the games we loose. How many other events took place in the game that could have changed the outcome? How many fouls were not called, how many non fouls were called, how many walks were not called, how much time was gained or lost due to other timing errors throughout the game? The list goes on. The point is after thousands and thousands of events that occurred in this game the best judgement and technology available resulted in us winning. With the parity in the BE expect more close games. And yes we will also have some close losses. So play the games and enjoy them and remember these are the games you will remember 20 years from now, if not for the win then for the controversy.

I agree that the photo shows that the ball may have been on Sam's fingertip for a nanosecond.  But the reality is that's not relevant at all.  The officials didn't have anything other than the video replay which was entirely inconclusive.  Given that, they had no alternative but to uphold the call as it had been called on the court.  No reversal was possible. Had they called it 'no shot', that too would have stood.

It might, but can you slide a piece of paper between ball and finger there?  Can't tell with that angle.  Glad it worked out for us.

I don't think it is possible.  Whatever fraction of a second it took the clock operator to start it up (maybe 0.2 seconds?) makes all the difference.

Clock operator (ref) not allowed to anticipate that. He has to make sure the ball is touched.  What his eyes see, tell his brain to then tell his finger to press a button, then that signal from belt sent to the clock to start.  As you mentioned, that's "basketball time"...it's also the reality of physics.

I don't see anything that screams the clock started late, it was entirely reasonable.

The difference is the SJU was not reviewable and was just an error in real time. That one is more forgivable. I’m not sure how they got the Markus one wrong.

It's also a reality of physics that it was more than 0.8 seconds from the time Sam first touched the ball until he was no longer in contact with the ball.  That is what I mean by real time.  Basketball time includes officials reaction to push the button to start the clock, which I believe increased the time Sam did what he did to much closer to a second than to 8/10s of a second.  That's what I mean by basketball time.  No big deal, not an error, that's what happens on all basketball plays to get the clock started.

This was my point. It's why, for example only a tip is allowed if there is .3 or less left. It's possible to get a shot off in .8 if the player catches and shoots in one motion. To jump to catch it, come down, go back up and release the ball in .8? Even given Sam's limited vertical, not physically possible. Whether he got the shot off in less than .8 from the time the clock was started is open to debate. Whether he got it off in .8 from when he first touched it isn't.

That is certainly not conclusive and it's impossible to tell if his fingers are still touching the ball from behind his hand.  The only angle that would tell you that is from directly to the side of Sam looking across the court.  You can't see the front of Sam's fingers, so there's really no way to tell if they're still touching the ball or if the ball is a millimeter out of his hand.
Exactly.

Not even remotely the same thing.  Those scientists were not discussing physics.  They were basing it on human stamina, etc.  For every sporting task there is some limit to how fast it can be done.  Thus, some things are impossible.  I am going to say it is impossible for a person to run a mile in less than a second and always will be.  To be in the air, land, jump again and release a shot in 0.8 seconds is impossible for Sam Hauser.

What actually is the understood rule for what can be done in 0.3?  Is that catch, jump and shoot?  Or is that catch and shoot?

If it's catch, jump and shoot (and I don't know if it is...that's why I asked), I don't think it's necessarily impossible.  I've seen it said that Michael Jordan's greatest hang time ever was 0.92 seconds.  And that's from take off to landing.  If that's the case, then why couldn't 0.5 to be in the air and land and 0.3 to jump and shoot be possible?

0.3 seconds is catch and shoot btw

I mean ... who the f--- cares (except maybe salty Creighton fans)?
The clock operator starts and restarts the clock literally dozens of times every game. And on each and every one of those dozens of occasions, he/she is going to be 1-2/10ths of a second behind the moment the ball touched a player.
So what? the solution? What should be done ...  add those tenths of a second before the end of the game and deduct that time off the clock?

Even by Scoop standards, this debate is dumb.

If nobody cares, why are there rules about what can be done given how much time is left? If a guy dribbles a couple of times and shoots before the backboard goes red when the clock said .2 let it count. Just another timekeeper screw up, right?

I'm overjoyed we won last night, but I guarantee you that if we lost a game like that this place would be up in arms. As for the "debate" being dumb, the only thing dumb about it would be someone claiming that a player can catch a ball at the top of a jump, come down to the ground, jump back up and release a ball in .8 seconds. Can't be done, even by Roger Bannister (WTF was that???).

The rule says .3. You're raving about how .8 is an impossibility. Why?
As for your straw man about about a couple of dribbles, yada yada, who cares? That's not what happened.

Yes, so overjoyed that we won you're trying your darndest to prove that we shouldn't have won.
What happened on last night's buzzer beater is what happens on every buzzer beater in basketball. You want to talk about impossibilities ... how about it being impossible for a human to start a clock at the precise millisecond that the player touches a ball. How it went down last night is how it always goes down.

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?

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.

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.

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.
