Cbs please fire those announcers.

[RocknRollface]

Those two dumb guidos just embarrassed your network.

The clock starts at 40.1, Rebraca releases the ball at 37.2. = 2.9 elapsed.

How in the world did they not grasp what was litteraly right in front of their faces?

They actually tried to influence the officials with their biased stupidity.

Unacceptable.

 

[IAHawkGrad2000]

Yep, worst announcers I've ever heard... not to mention all the "that shoulda been a foul on Iowa"'... but never the other way

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

They should look into this. This was very unusual.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Never seen announcers interact with refs that way before, guy had no clue and offical told him shot clock and game clock are in sync.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Cbs is a joke of a network period

 

[HungryHawk]

I loved early on when either Bowen or Ulis pushed the screener into the shooter and even after several replays one of them was saying it absolutely should be a shooting foul, then the ****ing lightbulb flicked on and he realized the shooter was never actually touched. He was so sure it was a shooting foul!

 

[Auger]

I could not believe how dumb these two were. Do they not know how a clock works? I was about to pull my hair out with the fact their stupidity almost infected the officials. CBS needs to retire these two fools. How you can't understand how time works is beyond me. The officials should be questioned on how a clock works as well.

In the next game, Cal vs TCU Lappas repeatedly excoriated the officials for wrong calls. What makes him think he knows more than officials, coaches and players. It is very unprofessional in my view. He was a former coach so I know he is knowledgeable, but acting like you are smarter than everyone else is not a good look. I hope cbs receives a lot of complaints.

I actually had no problems with the officials on that SC sequence - unlike some of the other fouls calls they made, or didn't, during the game. They had it right.

It was Lappas yelling "YOU GOT IT WRONG!" that had them having to come over and settle him down that made it look like they were a bit incompetent as well.

I thought so too until they seemed confused and then told the CBS guys the clock could have been at 3.9secs. However it was clearly at 3.0secs based on the game clock. The entire thing could have been confirmed in 30secs just by watching the two clocks. The officials already knew the two clocks were synced to start together.

The fact the CBS guys thought the clock would just go from 3 to 2 right when the ball hit Perkins hands was just sad. I still wonder if they ever figured out the clock runs down from 3.0 to 2.9 to 2.8 to 2.7 and all the way down to 2.1 before it hits 2? Or if they still believe the clock could have been at 3.9 secs like what the officials told them? This after the officials even looked at it for multiple minutes. They too seemed absolutely clueless of how time counts down.

Did the pushed player make contact with the shooter? I missed this play.

 

[hawktrooper1]

My 10 year old son was explaining the math to me as we watched the replay like 20 times. What I was clearly seeing and my son was explaining to me somehow did not match what the announcers were saying. Kept thinking the announcers must be looking at different clocks than what was shown on TV.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

90% of the people in this thread are morons, maybe more

 

[amahawk]

The worst that I have ever watched.

 

[RocknRollface]

Yes, but it doesn't matter.

The foul happened on the push of the screen, well before the shot attempt.

 

[Legend12]

Yes, but it doesn't matter.

It does matter.

 

[kcgolfer]

If they do it tonight, I’m turning the sound off.

 

[sbhawk64]

It does matter.

Unless you think it's correct to disregard the first four to call the second foul, it matters. You can't pick and choose which foul to call.. It's always the first one

Lappas is an embarrassment. Listening to him go on and on about dumb things it's easy to see why he wasn't all that good at Villanova and had a losing record at Manhattan and UMass.

 

[hooper56]

Yes, but it doesn't matter.

Actually a pretty smart foul as it took away the 3 point shot while not giving them free throws.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Yeah it was complete BS. They absolutely tried to influence things despite the game clock completely aligning with the shot clock when it hit zero.

You realize CBS Sports network covers ACC and/or SEC Teams. Their comments about Fran and his tirades show that they have not followed him the last few years. I figure he and Margret agreed he should receive some Anger Management help in recent years. Not that he wont have some tirades but nowhere near as many.

 

[RocknRollface]

It does matter.

Nope, not if the foul occurred before the shooter started his motion.

Foul=dead ball...period.

 

[Rifler]

Yep,.. Foul occurred on the floor, away from the ball with the Clemson screen getting pushed by Iowa, into the Clemson shooter,.. Iowa defender never touched the shooter,.. Common foul, not a shooting foul.
