Subject: THE TRUTH on TV Coverage

During the Dayton game at the Cintas Center earlier this year Sato was fouled while shooting. The refs were unable to determine whether it was a 2 point shot or a 3 point shot. To find the answer they went to the scorer’s table to review the tape. After further review it was determined that his feet were beyond the arc and he was given three free throws.
Without television coverage for tonight’s game what happens if this comes up. Are there other ways to review? Do the refs go into the stands and ask D West father if they can review the tape on his cam corder? Do they have a fan poll where applause determines the correct call?
We often talk about how the lack of TV hurts us with recruiting and general PR for the university, but this could be much much worse.
What if the call in question is needed for the outcome of a game and we do not have this resource available to us because of a bad TV contract. We have seen officials review tape to determine last second shots this season, it could easily happen to X. This situation could end up being far more costly than preventing out of state alumni from being able to watch their team.
