Syracuse v. Gonzaga (video request)

[Zoochy]

Very late in the game ( about 2 minutes remaining), Gonzaga was called for a 10 second violation. But there was a pass towards the front court. A Syracuse player who is in Gonzaga's front court, taps the ball back to a Gonzaga player. Shouldn't Gonzaga get a new 10 seconds?

When that trap came near the division line, if the C steps back up towards the division line he may have saw it clearly. I'll remember in the future for myself if a play like this is happening. Referee the division line.

If this play was missed who is going to get in trouble? The Lead, not the Center. The Center could not get an angle on this play. We have these situations happen to us all the time.

I think you mean Trail. Lead was (properly) near or at the endline 45 feet away and while he can get a good look at the clock (because there's usually nothing else going on in his area), he has a horrible look at the division line.

Yep. Plus my point was that the C provides better help to the T on this play if he steps towards the division line instead of away from it.

Agreed, as it turned out. But, if the pass was deeper into the FC, and there was some issue, then we'd be criticizing the C for hanging around the division line.

Plays in the area between the T and the L, on the T's third of the court during transition are difficult calls.
