In the final 14 seconds of the Michigan State vs Maryland basketball game during the Coaches vs Cancer Tournament Maryland took a shot with 1 second left on the shot clock, the ball didn't touch the rim yet the officials didn't call a shot clock violation, which set up a cheap offensive foul call against Michigan States to give Maryland the ball back with only 8 seconds left. The Officials told MSU Coach Tom Izzo that the play was "unreviewable." What is the point of having Instant Replay if in the final seconds of a game a simple call can't be reviewed? If the officials had called a shot clock violation MSU would have gotten the ball out of bounds and had plenty of time to take it down the court and get a shot off. Instead it gave Maryland the chance to put the game away.
