3 times actually. Andy Glockner's twitter (@aglock) is all over the fact that the refs screwed up a backcourt violation call off an inbounds pass against Syracuse in a tie game with under a minute left. Gus and Len never questioned the call during the game but it seemed wrong to me.

I was pretty sure it was wrong when called, he caught the ball in the air and landed on the line, and thus was not yet established in the front court...given he then traveled...so the right team ended up with the ball...but where you take off from is irrelevent, and an in bounds pass can go to the backcourt, which it legally did

The rule that you can't call a timeout after the 4 second mark has been off the books for a long time now. You can call a timeout all the way to the end of the 5 seconds.

the head of referees for the ncaa was on t.v. and he said the ref was 100% correct....no timeout is granted after the 4 count...that's the rules....

it appears that the head of refereeing disagrees with the rulebook

Section 12. Timeouts Not Granted
Art. 1. No timeouts shall be granted:
a. To the opponents of the throw-in team after the throw-in starts.
b. During an interrupted dribble.
c. To a player or coach when an airborne player’s momentum is
carrying him/her out of bounds or into the backcourt.
d. Unless there is player control by the requesting team. Exception:
Rule 5-12.1.c.
e. Until after the jump ball that begins the game and the conditions as
described in Rule 5-10 are in effect

I could find no provision as listed
