Gets back on defense, and almost knocks the ball away with the shoe in his hand! In fact, he's right next to the Cincy player as a teammate ties up the Cincy player for a held ball.
Let's say he would've knocked the ball away with the shoe - violation? Or play on? If violation, which rule applies? I just want to get right to the heart and sole of the matter.

Illegal as per NCAA rule 3-7-8- "Any equipment that is unnatural and is designed to increase a player's height or reach, or to gain an unfair advantage shall be prohibited".

OK, that's more like it.

Close enough for me though. I don't know whether I'd call that a violation or a "T" though. I'd leave that up to the R- I'd become the U2 in a hurry.

T or violation based on what rule?
|
Don't ask me. Ask the R.
If he made contact with the shoe, I'd call a violation. I'd use 2-3 for the first time in my life too. Can't let him get away with any kind of advantage.
Unless of course we consider the hand to be a part of the shoe.....
