Can someone familiar with NCAA replay rules explain the circumstances in which replay can be used on a play like this?
We can certainly debate the merits of the elbow rule, but the issue I have with this is that on the floor this was ruled to be either no contact, or incidental. The call that stopped play was a foul on VCU after this occured. Then they spend 7-8 minutes reviewing a call that wasn't made?!? I would have no issue going to the replay to determine F1 or not if this contact had been called on the floor. I think the last thing we want to do is pass on something marginal real time, with the thought that we will look at the replay at the next stoppage and make a decision then.
Another question - how was this review initiated? Who asked for it? What if the foul that did stop play didn't initiate the media time out?
