Tbh I disagree. There needs to be human judgement element to the call... The shot was clearly not gunna have a chance to go in, was way to wide... The SMU player was prolly expecting an airball and going for the rebound.

It was a bad call. It has to have a chance to go in. It wasn't near the cylinder.

I'll sorta echo what Jack was saying right after the game regarding the refs and how they officiate. If they see Alford hit 8/10 they are probably thinking that this shot is going to get in the cylinder area at least. Maybe it's not the best way to reason your officiating as a ref, but the kid was wet. Officials feel out the game as it goes and make calls based off what they see unfolding in front of them.

Entertaining game either way.

It's just that some refs need to learn their place.
The ref that called the goaltend was the one 30-feet away form the basket, while there was a ref 5-feet from the basket that didn't call anything.
There's like an unwritten rule among the ref fraternity that you don't contest another ref's call.. happens in the NBA all the time where the ref with a horrible angle feels the need to make a call even though there are 2 other refs with better views of the call.

anyone know why mo-pete isn't on the TSN panel today? i mean the easy answer would be that the TSN producers thought their coverage had enough grade-seven-level analysis the past couple days and just outright told him not to show up for work today, or peterson himself finally realized he was just way in over his head and that TV just isn't for him, but i'm afraid both scenarios are pretty optimistic

great guy and decent player, but so far he's been atrocious at his new job

So true. And after Sam Mitchell was fantastic in that role before, and Alvin was shockingly good in his very first appearance on Sportsnet... they need Mo to be more than just a pretty face.

Van Vleet is having himself a nice game.

I heard Jack say, "Mo has the morning off, he's prolly sleeping in" when they were previewing the Michigan State game.

With that being said, I wouldn't say he was "over his head" as TSN hired him. There are quite a few "successful" (as in, doing well in there new career) former NBA panel members, like Barkley, Shaq, Jalen Rose, Kenny Smith as well as Grant Hill and Reggie Miller who do colour commentary. TSN prolly offered him a job because he was good at discussing ball off the record, but some people (myself included) just do a much worse job on TV or when there is some sorta audience.

Mo Pete seems to be there half the time they do Raptors coverage for TSN games, which is most likely apart of his contract. It's like a part-time panel member. But unless he resigns, he has a contract, so unless TSN pays him off or he resigns, he isn't going anywhere. And I'm sure TSN will let the contract play out as Mo Pete isn't that bad, and secondly there is plenty of time for improvement, which is what they're most likely "hoping" for.

Let's not forget this is the same Mo Pete that had to go to a sports psychologist because his away-home splits were putrid.

Lol. His first two weeks on the job felt like an ESL student reading outloud in elementary school.

He has improved much since then, and should be average by the playoffs
