POLL: SMU vs UCLA

Per the rule book, and having seen the replay it was without a doubt goaltending. It was a great call, but I couldn't believe the ref had the courage to make that call. Watching it in real time I was livid that he called it. I wanted UCLA to lose, but the simple fact is, it's without a doubt goaltending. The player shouldn't have put himself in that situation.

I think by the absolute strictest reading of the rule, it is a goaltend.

But c'mon, man. There's no way that ball was going in. I wouldn't have made that call, especially considering it was the last play of the game. That's no way to end it.
 
When are rules not rules? When they affect your emotional connection to the game. Just like when a football announcer says you can't call that at the end of the game. Why not? Pass interference is the same penalty whether it's the 1st play or the last play of the game. Another one I hate is good no call. That's BS.
 
The rule states that the ball has to have a chance to go in to be goal tending. The only way it was goal tending is if your wrong about the rules.
 
the fingers and ball touched the rim at the same time. No way to know if the ball would hve not bounced a few times then went in. It was the correct call, the announcers said it too after watching replay.

The replay they showed over and over again was the ball completely missed the rim and the player tipped it on the way down after clearing the rim. So in any thought, it would be a no call.
