I know there are a lot of Gonzaga haters on this list but ignoring that for the moment---Did anyone see the last couple of minutes of the Zags loss to St. Mary's last night. With about a minute to go a St. Mary's player tries to save the ball on the baseline. With the shot clock almost down to zero he throws the ball back in bounds to an open player who hits the 3 that ultimately won the game. The replay pretty clearly shows the St. Mary's player's foot down and out of bounds before the ball leaves his hand to throw it back in. The announcers say the refs can't review that and instead reviewed whether it was a 3 pointer or not. My question is why can't they review the fact that the player was out of bounds before he threw the ball in? It was all part of the same sequence and should be reviewable.
Seems like a pretty arbitrary restriction on the use of reviews.
 
Would like the answer to that as well. I thought under 2 minutes of each half, out-of-bounds was a reviewable play.
