Watching Rutgers vs Purdue (great game).
With under 20 seconds left, Purdue is avoiding a foul by playing keep away....ball crosses half court and to the top of the key for Purdue. Meanwhile, the official crosses half court and trips on Painter (falls down) who is standing well outside the coaches box and close to half court. Official gets up, Painter obviously is trying to help him up and they exchange a few words. No technical, nothing.
Here is my take...why have a coaches box with penalties associated for stepping out of them if you are not going to enforce the rule? This type of stuff opens the door for coaches acting like a POS on the sideline.
Drunk rant over.
