2011 controversy
The St. John's-Rutgers game was criticized for poor officiating by the veteran crew of Burr, Tim Higgins, and Earl Watson. In the final play of the game, Justin Brownlee of St. John's stole an inbounds pass from Rutgers's Gilvydas Biruta to preserve a 65-63 victory for St. John's. In celebration, Brownlee clearly travelled, stepped on the baseline, and threw the ball into the stands while there was 1.7 seconds remaining. John Adams, head of officials of the NCAA, said the non-call was "unacceptable" following the game.
