The fact that he jumbled up the rule terminology may have played a part in them not properly ruling this an F2 in the first place.

I seriously doubt it had an impact on the decision made on the court to not disqualify the offending player. He was merely making the point to the media that it was a level 1 offense, not a level 2.

I still think that there are too many classifications for fouls in the NCAA book. Streamline it by going with either level 1 & level 2 or class a & class b for all types of fouls which aren't normal fouls. I don't understand why the same system can't apply to both personal and technical fouls.

I think at one point it did. Then they switched F1 T to CDBT. Or, maybe I'm mis-remembering.

And, while his comments could be criticized if it was some written response or he had time to edit, or was an article in RefMag, etc. -- we all use some shortcuts or slightly incorrect nomenclature when speaking / teaching. Shouldn't happen, but the meaning was pretty clear.
