I timed it. Looked right on 2.4 second from when he first touched it to when it left his hand.

Just not sure how a player goes from the first pic here to the hash without even 1/10th coming off.
And Sendek was trying to call timeout chasing the ref well before Ky inbounded the ball.
Just all around bs.

Funny how in 2.4 seconds and Kentucky gets off a 3 from their side of the court, but Ohio State can bareky get off a half court heave against TCU with 4.3 seconds.

One thing I remember very well that my coach used to say “the slowest high school player in America can run from baseline to baseline in 4 seconds”. But to catch, get going, set, and shoot in 2.4 is insane.

It may have been .1 or .2 that should have come off the clock. He got the shot off with .5 left, so it wouldn’t have mattered.

Agree - the clock doesn't start until he actually touched the basketball, so it took at least one bounce before he touched it then the clock went to 2.3 right after that. And it left his hand somewhere between .6 and .5. So the shot was off within the 2.4 second timeframe that was left.

Santa Clara let them get a longer pass off and that pass let it bounce where he was at full stride when he touched the ball.

And he did not run 10 feet - sorry if you stop and watch it, the clock went to 2.3 after he took maybe a step - maybe he is a giant and one step is 10 feet.

Sendek should’ve run on the court. He was asking for a TO chasing the ref before Ky grabbed the ball to inbounds it

He was trying to get a TO from a ref running away from him. He should have gone to the ref on the baseline. Also, it didn’t help matters that he clearly hesitated before trying to get the timeout.

I posted the pics above where the clock hasn’t moved as he has the ball then already sprinting and taken a dribble as it’s still at 2.4. If it’s not 10 feet, it’s 9.
As far as it leaving his hand, correct, but he would’ve had to pull up earlier.

According to the game announcement, there was about .2 seconds when he let go of the ball.

You can jump ahead to about 2:52 in the video.

The first pic is where his hand may have, I say may, because it isn't clear, have first touched the basketball.

The ball bounced just right for him to be already turning and going full speed. But that time elapse was not enough to prevent the shot. He was in shooting motion at between 0.9 and 0.8 seconds with the ball in the air at 0.6 seconds - so even if there was .1 or .2 seconds lost, it did not matter.

The opposing coach messed up. Should have taken a time out. Should have made it clear to shoot with no time left - should have told the players to foul before a shot was attempted.

I wanted KY to lose like everyone else - but the shot was clearly in time with time to spare.
