I am a little surprised that there has been no discussion here about the game. BYU had won the game in the 5th set but then UCLAs coach argued for 10 minutes leading to the ref calling replay. We ended up losing. MPSF ruled today to replay the 5th set starting at 16-16. Double won.



PS the ball was in by a foot for an Ace and a should be win for us.



PPS UCLA has delelted the point from the tape of the game.

See what it says under retirement:



Al Scates announced that the 2012 season would be his final season as the UCLA Men's Head Volleyball Coach.



In his second to last home match at UCLA, Scates embarrassed himself and the entire sport of volleyball by physically and verbally bullying the head referee immediately after BYU was declared to be the winning team. After 15 minutes of unsportsmanlike conduct, Scates, probably because he is a "legend" of the sport, successfully persuaded the referee to re-start the match that BYU had just won. Several minutes later, after a series of BYU miscues, UCLA won the controversial match. Video and Photo evidence have surfaced, provided sufficient evidence that the referee was originally correct. Because Scates was standing right near the controversial call, he also probably knew that the referee was right, but was unwilling to accept the fact that his team lost, fair and square.

So let me see if I got this straight:



BYU hits a winning serve but one ref judges it out of bounds.

The big wig ref overrules the other ref and says the ball was in--BYU wins

UCLA coach throws a tantrun

Big wig ref decides to replay the point

BYU fumbles and UCLA wins.



Both teams go home



BYU admin lodges a protest with the volleyball gods

Overnight the volleyball gods decide to replay the final set the next day starting at 16-16



BYU locks down and wins.

No.

BYU hits a big match-winning serve.

Ref rules it inbounds.

Head/Chair ref gets down of his chair.

UCLA coach throws a tantrum and demands the ball was out and the game should go on.

UCLA coach towers over and yells at refs for 10-15 minutes.

Head/Chair ref overturns call and awards point to UCLA and for the match to continue.

BYU loses on restart.
