Big Sky: Refs Suspended by Big Sky



Refs Suspended by Big Sky: The Big Sky Conference will give one-game suspensions to three officials who ruled an illegal timeout was called after the final horn sounded –- even though it wasn’t — in a Montana vs. Idaho State game. The Montana player called the timeout with his team tied 58-58 after getting a rebound in the final second. His team was out of timeouts, however, but the refs decided time had expired and didn’t even look at replays to determine the time left when the timeout was allocated. If it would have happened within the regulation time-frame, it would have meant a violation and given Idaho State two technical free throws. Possession then would have returned to Montana. Montana went on to win the game 73-62 in overtime.
