Get Off The .....
From Old School: "Do you recall if there was any rule changes after this incident?"
I'm a NFHS official, and this was an NCAA game, so I don't know if there was a NCAA rule change as a result of this situation. What I do know, is, after this situation, the interpreter of our local IAABO board encouraged us to get off the floor and away from the visual confines of the playing area as soon as possible. No signing the book. No waiting for the hand shake line. No talking to a friendly fan, site director, or athletic director. Just make eye contact with the official scorekeeper to "approve" the final score, and run, not walk, off the court, away from the "visual confines of the playing area" as soon as possible, and don't look back.
