The NCAA rule that I quoted(R4-8-1AR6)gives you guidance on how the NCAA wants this type of play called(for men's play,anyway).Basically,you were ignoring this NCAA rule,and you were choosing to make up your own definitive rule,based on your own personal preference. [/B][/QUOTE]
*SIGH*, sorry to drag this out, but....
Rule 4, Section 8, Article 6:
"...When the ball goes through the basket before contact occurs, the contact shall be ignored unless B1 has been placed at a disadvantage by being unable to rebound when the shot is missed or unable to put the ball in play without delay..."
Seems to me if A1 dunks, then hits B1, it's a no-call unless the contact was so severe that B1 can't get up in a timely fashion. The intent of the rule seems to be to penalize a layup/dunker who creates EXCESSIVE contact after the made basket, with a defender who's under the hoop. Judgement here would be on a case-by-case basis and could go EITHER way, and often does.
Article 7 (Women):
"B1 is standing directly under the basket before A1 jumps for a layup. The forward momentum of airborne shooter A1 causes A1 to run into B1. RULING: B1 is not in a legal guarding position. Blocking foul on B1."
This leans more towards my position of the shooter in this situation NOT being at fault.
I am certainly guilty of not communicating well enough in this thread. But to say I am ignoring the rule or making up my own rule based on "personal preference" is inaccurate.
I know I'm new around here, and I will always defer to the more experienced stripes, but I deserve better than that.
