Wow. Man, Chris Webber would've loved to have Curry around about a decade or so ago.

Anyone hear if this in fact happened? Incredible. Another chapter in Big Sky officiating history.

Yes, Jordan Hasquet called a timeout with about one second left, but they didn't have one so it should have been a "T", sending ISU to the line to win it. Curry said that Jordan signaling for a timeout wasn't recognized by the officials before the time expired. Replay showed it was clearly called before time expired.

After a timeout, ISU brought the ball up, and Matt Stucki's fade-away three was well short, and Hasquet grabbed the rebound with two ticks left. Hasquet then called for a timeout with 1.2 seconds left, and lead official Eric Curry signaled for the timeout with 0.4 left on the clock, and the clock then expired.

Curry pointed to Hasquet to grant the timeout, and Hasquet dropped his head, knowing his team did not have any timeouts. That should have put the Bengals on the free throw line with 0.4 left, except there was one problem ... the timeout was rescinded. Curry spoke with a pool reporter to explain the decision. "As the time was running down, the player called timeout. It is not when he calls timeout, it's the point of recognition. I recognized he called timeout, I blew my whistle, and it was instantaneous with the horn. In my judgment it's instantaneous. A play like that is not reviewable."

However, according to the 2008 NCAA Rule Book, that play is in fact reviewable. According to Rule 2, Section 13, Article 2, c-2, (page 57) officials can review a play to "determine whether a timing mistake has occurred in either starting or stopping the game clock.", and point c-3 say that officials can review a play to "Determine the correct time to be placed back on the game clock when the referee blows the whistle, signals for the game clock to be stopped, and in his/her judgment time has elapsed before the game clock stopped."

The review would have showed what a national television audience saw, which was the timeout being granted, and ISU would have gotten two free throws with 0.4 left. Interestingly, Montana would have kept the ball and had a chance to inbound for the win.

So what happens? ISU will appeal, the Big Sky will suspend Curry for the remainder of the season (2 games?), and another team is still screwed by these guys...
