And yet another dunderhead situation... A 5 second violation with precious few seconds remaining in the game costs Texas a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. The Longhorn player thought he had time remaining when he called timeout, but the ref was already calling the 5 second violation. A replay showed the kid actually had closer to 6 seconds than 5 seconds, so Texas has no beef (pun intentional) with the call. The young man actually took 4 1/2 steps with the ball before attempting the timeout. The prevailing rule of thumb is to call timeout on the 4th step, no hesitation. Yet another example of a young player unaware of the game situation... EK!!!
