Cinncinati/Xavier plays

[CJP]

Play 1. In real time I would have went PC. That was a 50/50, in my opinion, and I will reward the defense for taking the contact in the torso. A 50/50 call and the contact is shoulder to shoulder then I will go block.

Play 2. That is too close to allow continuous motion. I feel that to award the shot and the foul, it has to be no doubt. I have awarded this a couple of times this year and had coaches and crowd complain that we are not playing in the NBA.

As far as the game announcers, they need to avoid these types of comments. They made some comments that mislead viewers, in turn we hear it at games.

In 14/15 NCAA rules for legal guarding position were the same as NFHS rules regarding time and distance (on and off ball). I am not sure if they changed since then so the announcer was more than likely wrong there.
