Eh, he clears out twice. But that’s a lot of contact and shouldn’t be on Demin.

Have to get both feet completely out. So he never clears out.

That lifted foot still needs to come outside the lane though. Can't just lift

Not quite 9. He taps out after just over 5 seconds.

you cant tap out. You have to get out of the lane not get one toe out

You have to have a good imagination to think even one foot is out at that point

It's how it's been called since I've been alive. Take it up with the refs.

So just move in the direction of out of the key, with actually stepping out?

Depends on your definition of stepping out. They step out of the lane in a way

It's truly crazy the amount of anti stuff that pops up immediately on

It was like the refs were watching the barn raising in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and they saw the Pontipees (BYU)

In late-game desperation, Wisconsin used the Sabine women defense against Baker

I saw a few more during the game that didn’t get called.

IMO, they need to rewrite the 3 second rule to 5 seconds, and then they need to enforce it.

It's really bad, they let so much go. Either rewrite the whole rule book or
