So no fouls unless someone goes to ground? I'd hate to see your games. Even worse - I'd hate to see your courtroom.

You should always call fouls disavange advantage gained, and in this case the so called fouling player did not gain an advantage because the rebound was meaningless.


And how do you know this? Ball could still be tipped in with this time on the clock.

I never call a foul at the end of a game unless it affects a scoring play or gives someone an advantage that puts them in position to score.


Three seconds left in a game, defense plows into a legal screen, knocks the kid to the floor, and it's contact worthy of a foul. Do you not call that? What if the last second shot misses, and the team that was fouled lost by one, when they were in the double bonus?

they also misapplied the monitor rule.


How so, oh wise one? I hate to think of how you made it through law school.

Quote:
the ncca should be ashamed they were not using precision timing also.


I tend to agree on this, but college level timers are pretty damn good. Also, you can still go to the monitor to see if the contact was before the horn.

I always take up for officials


Take up? Is that like taking in their slacks? If you meant stand up for, you're not doing such a great job on this forum.
