post Worst. Call. Ever.

Well, OK, maybe this call in the BYU-Washington game wasn’t the worst call ever, but this is a truly hideous call. I’m all in favor of making sure players don’t taunt and showboat, but that kid did neither. If this is really the kind of thing which is supposed to draw a flag, then you, referees, are morally obligated to not enforce this utterly stupid rule and you, NCAA, need to change this rule immediately. If, on the other hand, the rule is really intended to control taunting and showboating, the NCAA needs to fire referees who make calls like this. This is totally ludicrous.

  1. I disagree. He threw the ball in the air. That’s always been an excessive celebration penalty — like a spike. Can’t do it.
    Then again, I’m a guy that would call a delay-of-game on any basketball player slapping hands with people on the foul line when I’m ready to throw him the ball.

  2. You forget that God is on BYU’s side.

    The end of the Rice/Memphis game was more exciting anyway…
