Was just thinking about the refs at the end of the game...

Funny how there is so much more attention paid to the clock in the last minute of the game than there is at any other time when, really, it all counts the same.

Think about how they went back and added a tenth of a second or so to the clock right before that last Georgia Tech possession in regulation. That literally is the only reason Miller got that shot off in time.

Think about the scores of times in a game when more time maybe expires on a given play when that does not happen. Very interesting, that's all I am saying.

And I know they added some time to the clock for us prior to that, so not trying to say it didn't go both ways.

Just funny how that one tenth of a second can literally make all the difference. Especially looking at our last two games.

I think the announcers said they'd added a whole second

back after that near shot-clock violation we had around the 21.0 mark and then GT's subsequent possession

Clemson


The ball left his hands with over 2 seconds left.

We still had 0.9 seconds after the ball went through the net.

That tenth of a second they added made no difference

Fair enough

I didn't remember the exact numbers.

Fairness across the board, all I'm asking!

I agree the tenth of a second did not really affect the outcome, I just know that if what happened to us in the Pitt debacle had happened at the Tarholes or Dukies they would make it ESPN discussion topic and probably bring in a so-called expert (Ex UNC or Duke player) to discuss it!

I do not want more consideration just respect and it kills me how on every broadcast we play how at least one of the pair gives us no respect and raves about the opponent!

Brownell and staff have done a wonderful job with this team!

Well the same can be said

for people screaming over a blown call in the last seconds. A blown call in the first seconds of a game hurts a team just as bad, really. About the only difference is that there is still a lot of time to overcome the blown call if it happens early.

Same thing with timekeeping. A few tenths or even whole seconds wrong over the course of the game almost always means nothing at the end of the game because most games are not tied or nearly tied in the final seconds. The timekeeping only becomes important when there is an error made in a tied or very close game.
