Officials Are Saying: Get Out of the Lane March 18, 2012, 1:00 am GREENSBORO, N.C. - Two controversial calls by officials came in the first two days of the N.C.A.A. tournament's main draw, but that doesn't necessarily mean there is a larger controversy brewing. Both U.N.C.-Asheville and Notre Dame players were called for lane violations late in their Round of 64 games. Both teams wound up losing. The first call came on Thursday when No. 1 seed Syracuse benefited from a lane violation call against No. 16 seed U.N.C.-Asheville's J.P. Primm with 1minute 20 seconds to go in an East Region game in Pittsburgh eked out by the Orange, 72-65, in the final minute. On Friday, it happened again when Notre Dame guard Jerian Grant was called for a lane violation in the final seconds of a South Region second-round game with Xavier at Greensboro Coliseum. Dezmine Wells buried two free throws to seal a 67-63 victory by Xavier. "Just shock and disbelief," Grant said after the game. "You always hear that you never - you can't call that at the end of a game or it's just, "Let the kids play the game out." And it hurts to lose on a call that - I mean, we didn't lose on that call, but it hurts to end the game like that. Added Coach Mike Brey, "I guess we must have had a heck of an advantage there with him running down the lane. And I would like to look to see if the ball was in the net, but again Mike Stuart's reffed a lot of games. I think he's one of the better officials around. Some coaches aren't concerned that there will be an issue with lane violations moving forward. "I saw the one last night and it was the right call,"" Creighton Coach Greg McDermott said. I think the rule book needs to be called as it's written. And if we as coaches form a rules committee that set the rules and we don't like the rules, then we need to change it. But the referee's responsibility in my opinion is to call it as they're written, and they shouldn't be criticized for that. But teams might want to take note that officials are calling it. "I already talked about it with my team,"" North Carolina's Roy Williams said. The sad thing is, the commentators haven't had the rule correctly. The officials made the correct call. And I don't jump on their side that often, but they made the correct call in both scenarios.
