Howland: Tape shows call was wrong

Now that he has reviewed the tape -- and listened to the television commentators -- Ben Howland feels certain about what happened. Asked whether the charging call against guard Darren Collison with 39 seconds remaining in Thursday night's loss to Arizona State should have gone the other way, the UCLA coach responded: "There's no question. They were actually showing it on 'SportsCenter,' " he said. "It was pretty clear what had happened." In replays, Arizona State forward Jeff Pendergraph appears to lean into Collison's path, catching the UCLA guard with his left side. A blocking call would have given Collison two points to tie the score and a free-throw attempt for the lead. Instead, his basket was disallowed and UCLA never scored again in a 74-67 loss.

It was a sh!!ty call...and I'm not sure this Bruin team has an identity. Other than Aboya there is no inside presence either.

Can't really complain about reffing after the treatment we got at the end of last season. Howland's not a complainer either. He was busy getting ready for Arizona about 5 seconds after the last game was over.

ASU got a big gift in the USC game, too. Hackett should have never gotten called for that charge.
