Does anybody understand precisely what the T was called for? I assume it was a bench T and 2 shots, but i'm not certain. There were actually multiple situations that COULD have been called a T so I'm not sure which was called.
1) After the shot goes through a bench player out of bounds runs behind the basket where UCLA is grabbing the ball to inbound. He realizes he's doing something wrong and runs back to the bench, he was never inbounds, but you could argue he was interfering with UCLA trying to inbound(although Adams steal was just a bad pass not one that was interfered with). At first that's the T I was looking for, the guy behind the basket.
2) There's at least 2 bench players on the floor before the whistle stops play when Adams is fouled, much of the bench cleared at that point with still 1.2 seconds to play. DId they call 1 T per player out before the whistle, or one "all inclusive" T on the bench for going onto the floor?
Arizona deserved the win I'm not saying otherwise, just that ABC did a terrible job of explaining what the call was and I'm curious. The way Lute was yelling at Howland I got the impression that Howland was asking for "more" than was called because certainly Lute couldn't have been disagreeing with the T call since his bench was clearly on the floor? I just wonder if Howland was saying there should have been multiple T's and more than 1 shot but he was off camera so you couldn't read his lips to see what he was saying.
Lute clearly twice said something like "what the hell is your problem Ben?" So there was a clear disagreement with them.
Boy was it fun to hear Lavin saying "Ben Howland is a tough guy", that has to really hurt him to say given his lack of toughness and discipline is what buried UCLA's program, now he has to come on national tv and praise the job his replacement is doing.
