Holy piss a rational Bear fan.troutangler wrote:A few points need to be made here:
1. Koch did not travel. He lost control of the ball, regained control, established a pivot foot and passed before the pivot foot returned to the floor.
2. Rank appeared to travel, but I wish we had an angle from the side of UNI's bench.
3. Rank did not get fouled.
4. No one in their right mind is going to call a 3-second violation in that situation. If you haven't called it all night, do not call it then.
5. Coaches can't schedule timeouts beforehand. He has to request it and if they hear or see him, they will grant it. It is not automatic by any means.
FWIW, I was on the side behind the UNI bench....Rank moved his non-pivot foot about 6 times in quick succession making it look like a travel, but if you could see it from that angle he kept his back foot down which is why the shot looked so screwed up
