Jake Layman.....T or not ???? And don't forget the double dribble

[Multiple Sports]

Do you agree with the T.....I personally think he double dribbles first. Spent 5 1/2 years in College Park....AHHHHH wish the Vous was still around.....

I saw this one on TV. Yes it was an illegal dribble but unless the new L is the Flash, no way he can get there to see it. And it was a good T imo. When will players learn you can't hang on the ring like that?

It was certainly a missed double dribble...
And it was a incorrect T - you are allowed to hang onto the rim if your momentum in completing the dunk swings you off balance. IF you pull yourself up - WHACK! That did not happen here.

You may wish to read the actual rule. Actually, you probably don't care.

OR...he's not actually an official and doesn't know what the rule book looks like.

Rule 10, Section 4. CLASS B TECHNICAL INFRACTIONS
Art. 1. A technical foul shall be assessed to a player or a substitute for the
following infractions:

e. Grasping either basket in an excessive, emphatic manner during the
officials’ jurisdiction when the player is not, in the judgment of an
official, trying to prevent an obvious injury to self or others.

In this fastbreak situation, the MD player does not know if another KU defender is coming from behind to block the shot. The MD player goes up to the goal strong, dunks it with 2-hands, and his momentum swings him forward.

IMO, the MD player needs to be given a chance to get his body vertical to land on the court on his 2 feet without injuring himself; only he would know what his body is capable to land safely. He didn't "chin-up", lift his knees emphatically, or rock back & forth multiple times; his arms stayed extended through one swing "to prevent an obvious injury to self or others."

He swung himself off balance to showboat.

Looked like the Nova player thought he was getting one. He spun around with hands up but it was KU calling timeout.

I thought he was getting one, too. Before I realized it was a timeout, I was thinking this most have been a tournament POE.

I think on this dunk you can make a case for the player not wanting to come down on the KU player. There is a defender in the area.
