The piece, which Holtmann said he was told weighed 10-15 pounds, landed about seven feet from freshman Brice Sensabaugh. As the reality of what had just happened set in, the Ohio State coach had a request for the officials. What happened next was a delay of five minutes that was announced over the loudspeakers as a malfunction of the scoreboard. Both teams returned to their respective bench areas. When one player briefly stood underneath the jumbotron, he was immediately instructed to move to a safe distance.“I told the officials I was concerned about resuming,” Holtmann said. “I wanted the game to resume. I’m not saying, ‘Hey, down 16, we want to call the game.’ I wanted the game to resume.
After the game, dozens of onlookers stood on the court, peering upward as the machinery holding the jumbotron in place.
