Game Thread: Iowa at IU 2/7/21 Noon FOX

[HoosierKnight 187]

I'm not 100 percent certain on the rules, but when you throw the ball inbounds, once it hits anything, the clock starts, correct? 

When the Iowa kid threw that last pass in, it hit off the backboard, caromed of our guy (TJD, I think), then went out to center court, where an Iowa kid grabbed it and heaved it at the bucket. All that happened in 1.6 seconds? 
Why isn't our home timekeeper taking better care of us????

I’m sure it’s been answered already, but it has to touch a player. The high school team I helped coach the past few years actually worked on a s.l.o.b. play where we intentionally threw the ball off the backboard.

Went back and watched the highlights and it was clear as day that the clock stopped momentarily at .8 and at .5.  There was clearly two seconds that ran off before Iowa was able to get to the ball, much less shoot it.

It's funny -- freeze the frame at 3:23 when the clock hits 0.8 seconds.  Ball is still high in the air basically at the 3 point line, no one near it.  Go a little bit later -- frame will still say 3:23 and clock still says .8 seconds...and the Iowa player has reached the ball and it is now ten feet behind the three point line. 

At best let's say that the clock was at .89 seconds and moved to .80 seconds in that time.  He covered ten feet in 9 hundredths of a second.  10 feet in .09 seconds calculates to 33.9 meters/second, equivalent to 75 miles per hour.

Another little known fact.....the offense is allowed to touch a ball thrown in bounds when it is over the rim -- i.e., they can legally 'goal tend' because a pass from out of bounds is not legally a shot.  The same pass thrown while the ball was already in bounds can not be touched when above the cylinder.

I felt at the time that the backboard carom was intentional by Iowa. I thought it brilliant in theory if that was the case. Iowa’s positioning made it look like that’s what they were looking for. One of our guys got a finger on the bounce and upset it’s path just enough. Pretty accurate toss by the kid if that was truly its intent.

Stuff like this is why I find the women's team more fun to follow.

WHAT A WIN!

- Kristian is getting BETTER! Yes, he's struggling with defense and shooting. But his passing has been pretty decent on PnR's. I love forward to seeing his growth these next few years. This summer will be huge for him. 

- FRANK! What a shot by Frank!

- LOVE Archie Miller not calling a T.O. at the end. Letting the players play, not letting Iowa set up in a defense, living in the moment. 

- We were down 20-9 in the 1st half looking like a blowout after Iowa caught fire from 3. But we hung in there, took at the lead going into half time, struggled a bit in the second--- BUT STILL WON! We may not be the most skilled shooting, decision making wise, or talent in general, but they don't give up. Have to give the players credit on that.

- TJD and RACE were huge inside! RACE has developed nicely and while I'm very hard on TJD most of the time, he was pretty darn good with the interior defense. 

- THE FRESHMAN! Wow are they getting better each day. Archie found him some recruits with this class. If they get a full summer of development with the addition of Parker and Luke..

I sorta figured that, but wasn't 100 percent sure ... Regardless, after the ball hit the backboard, it caromed off Race and bounced to center court, where the Iowa kid picked up and heaved it at the basket -- before the buzzer. That's a lot to happen in 1.6 seconds. I have my suspicions that in real time, more than 1.6 seconds passed between the time the ball hit Race and the Iowa kid gathered it. Seemed as if the clock got a slow start or something -- and that's our timekeeper!

He started it early once it hit the backboard and then tried to compensate. I'm convinced that's what happened as it stopped at .8 and .5 on the clock shown on the broadcast. I'm assuming that reflects to the real clock

Geronimo seems to be having a freshman season that reflects OGs starting to get some minutes and making an impact

Watch the video I posted above.  The timekeeper started the clock on time.  There is a huge delay at 0.8 and at 0.5.  That's an issue with the clock -- think the scorekeeper run it correctly.  Literally, an Iowa player moved ten feet to get the ball and the time stayed at 0.8.
