It is one of the most egregious mistakes a group of officials has made in recent memory.
During the Sun Belt women’s basketball tournament, Old Dominion was inbounding the ball with a one-point lead and less than five seconds left in regulation against Troy on Friday. While both teams took their time setting up for the inbound play, it became clear to the broadcast team, the crowd and to both teams that Old Dominion had six players on the court. The referees appeared to be the only ones who didn’t notice.
The Monarchs’ Amari Young ended up getting an open layup because the Trojans simply didn’t have enough bodies on the floor. At the same time she got the open layup, the Old Dominion bench can be seen grabbing a player on the court onto the sideline so the referees wouldn’t notice the extra player.
