The shot clock goes from "3" to "2" exactly one second's worth of game time after the ball is inbounded.
What the hell is this announcer talking about with the shot clock
- Thread starter HawCory
- Start date
Math is hard for some. 40.1 down to 37.1 equals 3 seconds. And the ball was out of his hand. No clue what the big deal was.
I have never heard national announcers want a team to win so badly I wonder if they both graduated from Clemson
When it’s technically still football season the C team guys need to create their own drama.
I thought they were going to let the announcers decide what to do. Lol
I was in awe listening to them during the shot clock issue.
I don't think I've ever seen announcers interjecting themselves into a referee matter.
That was one of the most biased, incompetent, announcers I've ever listened to!
I was calling it the whole while-the shot clock doesn’t show tenths
Kudos to the ref that mentioned the 3.9 on the clock instead of just blindly agreeing.
They didn't need to look at the shot clock.
They're that fvcking stupid.
Just watch the regular clock.
The reffs know that clocks are synced.
I don’t believe actually looking at the game clock crossed the minds of the Clemson announcing team.
I’ve heard Lapas say much worse in a game. I’m just annoyed I can’t change the channel tomorrow when he spouts his crap.
The color guy was a jack ass. He gets a few right once in a while. How many times did he say that?
Has he directly involved himself with the officiating crew?
They kept talking about the game clock starting but never thought to just look at what it was saying.
They were too excited for Clemson to win.
What a couple of morons.
I don’t normally let it get that far lol. He kills mountain west games whenever I want to watch a fun team.
Nothing he says would surprise me.
Tomorrow will be hell.
announcers argued that the clocks were not in sync and that the shot clock was delayed in starting
Both clocks were in sync and the top clock registered time in tenths of a second, which is why the top clock started first
Hard to listen to dummies

Those guys were complete morons, just because it says 3 does not mean it has exactly 3.0 seconds on the clock. Have they ever watched a game before? They realized their mistake immediately when the ref said 3.9, and then they quickly stopped talking about it and said "That's great officiating" lmao. What a joke, it's like they were trying to lose the game for us. In what reality does the ref even need to consult the announcers on what happened? Completely surreal moment.
Same here! I kept saying these knuckleheads don’t realize it could have been 3.9 seconds left. Stupidity!
This. The announcers were looking at the tenth of a second number but the shot clock started exactly right.
Got home from the football game just in time to catch this. That was so painful listening to those two idiots discussing the clock, I immediately said look at the f'ng game clock morons. My wife just shook her head and said something about now knowing how she feels trying to correct me sometimes 😆
That was one of those moments where you're thinking "am I the one that's wrong?" Happy to see the degree of diligence the officials displayed. Took time to get the facts right, applied the correct rule and supported it with the tech and the synchronized clocks. Genuinely the right way to do it.
Defend it all you want Steve, but it doesn't change your words and intentions.
Why did the one ref have them go review it again?? Crazy. The horn did not go off. Wasnt sure if the clocks are synced or seperate.
He got so bogged down with the game clock having tenths so it started moving right away. He saw that the 3 on the shot clock didntove right away and thought it was stuck. It would not move to 2 until the game clock moved from 40.1 to 39.1.
i don't understand how they could have sett it at 3.9 when there isn't any tenths on the clock. And didn't they reset it at 3 on the previous play? The correct answer was that it wouldnt move to 2 until the game clock already started and moved down to 39.1.
This👆
Always complaints on this forum about biased announcers, but todays was over the top going to the refs telling them the shot clock didn’t start.
Lappas said the clocks were operated separately. He said it.
I dont have twitter but can some reply to Steve telling him he's a moron and can't do simple math... 40.1 - 37.3 = 2.8 which is less than 3
Why didn't any of the producers radio in to these numb nuts and tell them of their stupidity? The studio or van or whatever should have stepped in to relieve these fools of their embarrassment.
They were looking at it but somehow not grasping what the numbers were saying.
They were claiming more than 3 seconds elapsed without even realizing the clock started at 40.1 and clearly read 37.2 when he relased the ball.
It was an amazing feat of stupidity.
And Lappas also says, when the refs came over, ‘this is what thought we saw’. Or something to that effect….like he wanted to inject his opinion.
I did enjoy the ref nicely telling them they were idiots by explaining that the clocks are synched and the SC doesn't have tenths - and this was all clear to hear as the announcers mics picked it up.
Can someone post a clip if that part of the tape? When the refs came over? Love to see it all again.
The game clock with tenth of second indicator and the shot clock without one clearly confused the shit out of them.
Good lord. I don’t watch a ton of Hawkeye hoops games but happened to be watching this broadcasting debacle. I was openly questioning my non-caring family members as to why these Mensa candidate announcers could not grasp the fact that the game clock was reflecting down to the tenth of a second while the shot clock was not. What a couple of maroons. I about lost it when the refs came over to explain this to them.
Hawks held on and won, so easy to laugh it off.
But if the refs had allowed the stupidity of the announcers to influence the change of the call and Iowa lost because of it - especially after the fball game right before - oh man. There would be a call for those announcers (& refs!) heads to roll.

One commentator: “They reset the shot clock again” as you hear the horn go off…. No they didn’t dummy.
The other commentator: “Did you hear the horn go off before” (meaning the before the shot got off)?
The other dipshit: “I heard it on the replay”. 😂 😂 damn clowns

There needs to be a way to combine emojis, because it was funny but also ticked me off that they were SO stupid and seemed to want things to go Clemson's way!
