Dang it, Dan is right again. I'll go edit my post. I am either going to have to really study the NCAA rules or just stop answering NCAA questions.
For the record, I got confused by this NCAA rule:
2-5-1b. A determination as to who shall attempt a free throw(s) when there is uncertainty;
Also, I will add that I find it surprising that the NCAA considers which player committed a foul to be a "judgment call", not a point of fact, and does not allow the monitor to be used in this case, but does permit it for determining whether a try was a 2 or 3, who shall attempt a free throw(s) when there is uncertainty, and if a fight occurred and the individuals who participated or left the bench area. Any of those could just as easily be classified as judgment calls. It doesn't make sense to me that who committed a foul isn't included with these others.
I find it utterly ridiculous that the monitor can be used to determine which player was fouled, but not which player committed that foul.
