As a non-referee, I enjoy the insight that this forum provides, especially in understanding rules interpretations for situations that do not happen on a regular basis.
I have a question regarding such a situation that occurred late in the Illinois-Michigan State game. In case you didn't see the game, here is what happened:
Illinois player has possession of ball and Michigan State defender commits common foul (MSU not yet over the limit).
Illinois player is then charged with a technical for throwing his elbow at the MSU player. MSU shoots the two free throws for the T and is awarded the ball at half court.
My question is this: I thought that the NCAA changed its rules so that there was no change of possession as a result of a technical. If this were the case, Illinois would have maintained possession. What am I missing? Thx.
