I think they were correct that it was a dead ball foul, but when Bernie Kukar said they would have an untimed down and extend the period, that was incorrect. By definition to have a dead ball foul at that time there must have been time left on the clock, so the procedure should have been to assess the penalty, and wind the clock on the ready. However, I think that I would have used the rule that allows me to start the clock on the snap if the foul is by the team ahead in the score, (I don't have my rulebook with me - it's in Rule 3 someplace - NCAA)
I believe that it all came out the same, i.e. the correct outcome. But he should have known that it was not an extension because the foul occurred prior to the clock expiring.
