Another case of intentionally fouling up by 3 at the end of a game backfiring. I have no idea why teams who do this get so much praise. The last thing you want to do as a Big Ten team on the road is create extra possessions at the end of a game. 

100% agree and posted about it below your post. Its ridiculous.

Minnesota is sooooo bad. Really wish we played them twice this year

down 30-11 at home in the first half to Michigan 

They are so bad it’s almost better to not play them twice if that makes sense.    From a bracketology standpoint you gain nothing by playing them and if you lose to them that’s a bad loss.   Home game against them is a Q4 and a road game is Q3 for now and trending down to the Q4 area.

If you are a bubble team, yes. if you are competing for a big ten championship against Illinois and Purdue, among others who play them twice, I disagree.

I actually didn't know that.  I thought it you re-established back in bounds you were okay to catch a pass.  Have to say this is probably a violation that occurs quite a bit and never gets called, although not as blatantly as above.

I didn’t know that either. I also thought you could re-establish and catch. If that’s the case, and I doubt Bilas to be wrong on it, that’s pretty blatant and should be addressed by the B1G.

BTW, just read the rule on going out of bounds and it is different in high school and NCAA.  In high school, if you step out of bounds 'voluntarily', it is a violation (which would result in a turnover).  A whistle is to blow the ball dead and the possession becomes the other team's ball.  Assume refs use discretion here because it would seem silly for a player on defense to be allowed to go out of bounds and force the offense to re-inbound the ball.  There is no rule at the high school level, however, against a player going out of bounds non-voluntarily and then reestablishing in bounds and being the next player to touch the ball.

At the college level, it is not a violation to go out of bounds but you can not be the next player to touch the ball.

It gets even worse...I ran the video back.  Even if the rule WAS that you could re-establish and be the first to touch the ball, he DIDN'T.  Looks out of bounds to me and even if he wasn't, he didn't have both feet back in bounds when he caught it.

Edit:  zooming in, it is clear his right foot is clearly out bounds and looks like his left foot isn't in bounds either.

He also doesn’t establish himself back in bounds before receiving the pass, so if I’m understanding you here, he broke 2 rules lol. 
 

Edit: as you just posted lol

This was called often several years back. I remember several calls going against IU when a player was running the baseline and stepped out of bounds then received a pass. I know it happened several times in the Crean era.

Even if he had established himself back in play it was still a violation because he went out on his own volition. He wasn't bodied out/forced out and his momentum didn't take him out. When going OOB on your own volition you cannot be the next one to touch the ball regardless of reestablishing yourself.

They spend so much time reviewing everything,  and let this go? Officiating is as bad as ever!

Crean had guys that liked to shoot corner 3s and shuffled their feet out of bounds trying to get into their shot. If I remember correctly Newkirk was one of the Oft offenders. But there were several. Mind blowing. Anyway, it’s a different situation a little and refs like to call this one.

 

And it appears they blew the call last night.

Instant replay sucks in all forms. It doesn’t increase annoying but time spent standing around.

This rule surely changed in the 25-plus years since Brian Evans played at IU, right? Watching him run the baseline, even we’ll OOB, is one of my earliest memories watching the hoosiers

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,694]

It's funny... You can't review to see if a player was out of bounds... Unless you're Wisconsin in Assembly Hall. 

[Demo 20,301]

My favorite part of this OSU thing is Buckeye Twitter collectively tying themselves into knots trying to reinterpret the rule. Seriously, what’s wrong with just going with, “Man, did we catch a great break”, and heading on down the road? But, no, they are losing their $hit over the mere suggestion that they got lucky.

What. The. Hell.

Adams is a good follow.  He's a former NCAA men's basketball officiating coordinator

Crean always out thought the room. Why play on a 94'x50' court when you can get several feet on either end to run more sets?!

I think it's pretty simple... Big Ten refs are complete garbage. How they have jobs outside a McDonald's is beyond me.
