Balk ends NCAA game

bfair - your football example doesn't apply at all. That call is not likely made at any point during the game, so not making it at the end of the game would be normal.

Change it so that it's the defender hitting the WR more than 5 yards downfield on a pass - a call that is made all game. Do you want them to NOT make that call on the final play of the game? I do, and I hope everyone does. Timing should not matter - if you're going to make the call in the 1st inning, make it in the last.

I believe you are incorrect.
Officials would make that call if it had potential impact within the game.

My same example but the runner breaks toward the left sideline............and the holding infraction at the left sideline IS CALLED.

Good call??????? Absolutely !!!!!!!

The difference----advantage gained in one instance vs. no advantage gained in the other.
The official understands advantage/disadvantage.

The comparison to an offsides penalty is moreso a comparison to the dropped ball off the rubber. When it's obvious it's hard to ignore. There is also advantage to be gained when a player lines up offside.

Just a point,
