And of course, the all-time screw job was the technical foul in the UO game when Bone was coach (his first year, I believe) that allowed the Ducks to tie the score on two free throws and send it into OT where we lost, setting the stage for a last place finish. None other than Ernie Kent was the beneficiary of that robbery.

WSU Won that game. Fact. According to the rules of basketball.
When the game clock expires, reads zero, at the end of the game, its the end of the game.
The team with the highest score, at that point, wins the game, is the winner.
Since WSU, was ahead at the game, when, after time expired, WSU did in fact win the game, was the winner.
The only exception to that, is if a foul is committed either before or as, at the same time the clock turns zero.
Any foul committed AFTER the game is over, does not apply, effect the game, as the game is over, and the results stand.
This is what the rule either is or at least SHOULD BE. And if that is not the rule. And if a foul is committed after the game is over, and if that causes the other team to win, that is BS.
The team that is ahead at the end of the game is the winner no ands, ifs, buts about it PERIOD. And that team was WSU.
WSU was ahead at end of game. WSU won the game. After WSU won the game AFTER the game was over, WSU players, fans, stormed the court, BEFORE the officials had recognized the game as over, but either at the same time, or after as the end of the game clock horn, buzzer went off, but before the other teams staff(Oregon), staff, players were able to leave the court.
Now technically if do that, its technically against the rules, and a technical foul.
Supposedly they made the rule to protect the other teams staff, from being stormed before they have chance to leave court. That's why players, fans have to wait until the refs recognize the end of game, in order to protect the other team, staff, etc.
Now even tho this is a technical rule, it either has NEVER BEEN ENFORCED, at the end of a game, NEVER CAUSED A TEAM TO LOSE THE GAME. IS ALMOST never enforced.
Also usually what happens is that instead of calling the technical, they usually dont call it, then issue a warning, reprimand, or some kind of punishment, either then, later, etc.
It was innappropiate for the Ref, to TAKE A WIN AWAY FROM WSU, AFTER THE GAME WAS OVER, because of some fans in the stands, and players, coaches on the bench.
They could have, and should have handled it the same way that it has been handled in past.
That wasnt the first time it happened. It has happened before. And other teams didnt have their similar WIN STRIPPED away.
So WSU won that game. And BONE, The AD, the WSU Pres, should have taken fines, penalties, and spoken out against the PAC Leadership, REFS. Should have PROTESTED to the PAC, and to the NCAA.
And the media, like ESPN, FOX, ETC, should have reported the game as a WIN for WSU.
I would have done all those things, if I had been WSU, AD, Pres, Coach, Media.
That game should FOREVER have a ASTERIX next to it, saying that WSU won that game, and why.
The DUMBASS REFS, PAC, PAC Leadership WRONGFULLY either messed up, cheated, STOLE that WIN from WSU.
WSU WON THAT GAME
PERIOD.
