Technical given to coach (Video)

Also the play that appeared to get the Gonzaga coach upset.

Without knowing all the particulars of fouls called/no-called previously to this play, I initially would say this was a foul. The BYU #12 left arm/hand is down on the Gonzaga player's drive and re-routes him. If this type of foul was called earlier, then Coach Few as an argument to be made. The Class A Tech was a obvious to me because Coach Few was on the court of play.

The Lead rotates over and the Gonzaga drive starts immediately. I've heard McCall state that calling a foul by the Lead during a rotation (except for an obvious crash) is a bad look because usually you don't have the big picture of the play having just positioning yourself there. It definitely is a tough play from a play and physical standpoint.

Clear foul.

Eh. I'm not calling that. If a player wants to take the worst possible route and go the last place he should be trying to go, I need more than that to bail him out.

This is not necessarily a scoring route, but it has become a significant part of many offenses, especially at the college level. His intent is to make a pass across the end line to the player spotting up for a 3 on the other side. The pass he attempted after being fouled that was intercepted. An argument can be made that the bump disrupted the timing of the play and caused the turnover. Also, even if he was trying to use this as a scoring drive and trying to get to a bad place, this is exactly the kind of play NCAA-M officials have been directed repeatedly the last couple of years to clean up.

If I'm the L, I'm thinking I have a foul on that for the textbook hand check.
