January 19, 201115 yr Regardless of the officiating, the Vols snagged a big one, especially with this being on the road.
January 19, 201115 yr I realize I'm in the minority here, but I didn't think Williams went over the back. I thought the Georgia player was responsible for a lot of the contact.
January 19, 201115 yr Buzzer beater by Williams that should have been over the back. Crazy ending. Over the back, choking, intentional foul, in basketball. Horse collar rule, holding, personal foul in football. Assault charges on the street/court room,lol. ...... imo all would be appropriate. Edited January 19, 201115 yr by oldrambler
January 19, 201115 yr I realize I'm in the minority here, but I didn't think Williams went over the back. I thought the Georgia player was responsible for a lot of the contact. Towards the end, yeah, he had ahold of Williams' arm as he was falling backwards. But the over-the-back happened a spilt second before.
January 19, 201115 yr I realize I'm in the minority here, but I didn't think Williams went over the back. I thought the Georgia player was responsible for a lot of the contact. I think the proper (no) call was made as well.
January 19, 201115 yr I think the proper (no) call was made as well. Why should that have been a no-call?
January 19, 201115 yr Why should that have been a no-call? Because you have to touch somebody for it to be a foul. There was contact when the ball was in the air, but I don't think Williams made much, if any, contact when he grabbed the rebound.
January 19, 201115 yr Also, could you imagine the outrage if the official called over the back there? If UGA was in the bonus, it would've sent the Dawgs to the line for a 1 & 1 to win...

There's outrage because it wasn't called. Unfortunately ref was in a bad spot either way, but I think he made the wrong call.
January 19, 201115 yr Also, could you imagine the outrage if the official called over the back there? If UGA was in the bonus, it would've sent the Dawgs to the line for a 1 & 1 to win... Who would be outraged? Not me. Not the entire Georgia crowd.
January 19, 201115 yr Who would be outraged? Not me. Not the entire Georgia crowd. There would be plenty of talk about a ref making that type of call with very little time left that practically sealed the deal for a UGA win...
January 19, 201115 yr There would be plenty of talk about a ref making that type of call with very little time left that practically sealed the deal for a UGA win... You hear the announcers say all the time- "Drive to the lane and make the refs make the call!" I think officials are trained to let the last few seconds of a tense game be the players, which is good, but in this unique instance a team got hosed because of it.
January 19, 201115 yr There would be plenty of talk about a ref making that type of call with very little time left that practically sealed the deal for a UGA win... Yeah but the no call definitely, not practically, sealed the deal for a UGA loss...
January 19, 201115 yr Yeah but the no call definitely, not practically, sealed the deal for a UGA loss... No, the UGA player's failure to box out & push Williams out from underneath the basket is what doomed them. On top of that, Williams made a prayer.
