The officiating at the end of this game is why basketball can suck

you are right. the ball is like 2 feet away from his fingers and what is odd about it is that at that 45 second mark in those frames, as the ball goes out of his hands and the clock on the TV still has .1 second left, the screens on top of the backboard both show 0.0 but neither back lights are lit. now, back it up a bit to right when the ball leaves his hands and pause it, those clocks are different. one has .1, the other is at 0.0 and the back light is still not lit.
i did several stops and plays and pauses at different times to see that. still got jobbed.

Not rationalizing, I can and do throw tantrums with the best of em. Just noticed a difference while trying to be objective and mentioned it. Just like I also mentioned that we all knew we were screwed when they went to the scorers table to review it.
The second they called the 3rd guy over, I knew we were ****ed. They were looking for an excuse to waive it off
And there's the definitive proof.
Dio, I said it in the game thread, and I agree. **** like this is what turned me off hoops in the first place a few years ago. Can't stand the way basketball is often officiated. I also can't stand how long the last 2 minutes can take in a game like this. I think at one point (in the 1:45 range), AZ got 3 scores in about 15 total seconds coming off the clock.

Fuuuuuck you refs go eat a bunch of wildcat sh*t you *****in ****ot wh*res!!!!!!!!
I'm with you on all that. I've never been a bball fan, but trying to get into it. But everytime I think I'm getting there, I see some simply awful officiating. This type of mistake isn't unique to bball (we all say the video of the 4th down call in the Michigan bowl game a couple days ago) - but you combine it with how fouls are so subjective, how the star players get preferential treatment, and how the home team usually gets ridiculous home cooking, then it makes it a tough sport to swallow at times.
Like playing ND in south bend, don't leave it up to the refs. That said, they know they ****ed us. Like to strangle Miles Simon, ****ing homer.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Don't think it really had any true factor in the the outcome, but where Zona scored three times in 15 seconds, they were also able to substitute Solomon what's his name in with no time expiring. We did the same but got associated raped for it while Solomon what's his ass stayed in the game. Horrible refs.
The shot from behind isn't clear. There is no way on earth to tell how far away from his hand the ball is or if the ball is still on his finger tips. The refs made a god damned assumption. You cannot assume **** in a case like that. Unless you have CLEAR evidence or a clear view, you cannot change the call. The same would be true if they'd waved it off at the end of the game.
Espn didn't show the angle, what a ****ing shock that is lol.

This is absolutely disgusting. How they can look at that replay and change that call is a crime.

Just awful. Hope Tad can build on the frustration and deliver some serious payback to AZ in Boulder.

I just took my neighbors Arizona flag.... I'm gonna invite him over for a friendly bonfire.
"Colorado should have won the game. They were robbed!"
Someone needs to send that to Bohn. Is there any precedent for overturning the result of a game? Doesn't get much clearer than that.
I think it was too close to overturn. The Pac12 will circle the wagons on this one. We might get some explanation about an 'official' clock at the scorers table - if we get any explanation at all
I think there is precisely a 0% chance the game gets overturned.
They were clearly looking for a reason. I guarantee they went by the clock on the side that was running fast (the one not tied to the red backboard light as the official time). They saw a fingertip on the ball in the frame when the fast clock had hit zero and used that to justify waving the shot off.
