NCAAW rules question for tech during Ch game
I need our experts on NCAAW rules for this as I don’t know the specifics of that book. I have a couple of questions about the technical foul charged late in the third quarter of the NCAAW championship game between LSU and Iowa.
1. “In a pool report, lead official Lisa Jones said the technical came when Clark didn't pass the ball to an official after the Hawkeyes had been given a delay-of-game warning for batting the ball away after a made basket earlier in the third quarter.”
My question: Is this the correct admin under NCAAW rules? NFHS is different. In NFHS, the warnings for delay go to the team and when a second warning is earned, that is also a team technical foul, not charged to any specific individual. Finally, failing to pass the ball to the nearest official following a stoppage is NOT one of the four team delay of game warnings under NFHS rules. That action is a straight technical foul to the player for delay of game.
So are NCAAW’s rules different or does this official who just worked an NCAA Final really not know the book correctly given her explanation provided above? (I certainly don’t know the NCAAW book, but I don’t work those contests. I can guarantee you that if I did, I would know it as well as the NFHS book.)
2. Second question has to do with the administration of the penalty for the technical foul. Did NCAAW revert to the way NFHS does it and scrap POI?
The sequence was a foul by an Iowa post player while an LSU opponent was shooting, this was then followed by a technical foul for another Iowa player throwing the ball away. NFHS admin: 2FTs for the fouled player, 2FTs by any LSU player, LSU throw-in at the division line. (This is what was done in the NCAAW game.) Is this correct admin or should it have been what NCAAM do? Which I believe is: 2FTs for any LSU player, the resume at the POI, which is 2FTs for the fouled LSU player with players from both teams occupying spots along the FT lane.
