I was at this game. The crowd had no idea what was going on because the Trail called a handcheck foul on the play and the whistle triggered a media TO.
During the media TO the officials went to the monitor. Shot clock? Game clock? Intentional dead ball contact? We had no clue. No replays were shown in the arena. So seeing the clip posted by APG is the first time that I'm seeing what took place.
So what we have is a missed flagrant 1 by the Trail, and instead a common foul on the defender. The officials penalized both fouls after looking at the monitor. The defensive foul wasn't shooting and it wasn't bonus yet (if I recall correctly), so 2 FTs were awarded to VCU along with the ball to resume the game.
I wonder what the would have done had the VCU foul warranted FTs. Do they shoot those first, despite that foul occurring second in order to award possession to VCU?
Also, I met Camron Rust at the games today!!! Really cool.
