Big Ten tournament plays

[Camron Rust]

Play #1. In addition to the discussion of how much contact to allow after a block, this could even be considered one of the rare cases where a double foul might be the right call. Both clubbed each other in the face. Even if you don't want call both, the offensive player was clearing out and hit the defender's face first and hit him pretty good. That should have been called and that would make the ball dead. The subsequent foul would have technically happened after the ball was dead but would have been close enough to consider it approximately the same time.

Play #2. Yes, it is definitely a travel. But I'll admit that I have not called that on more than one occasion even when I've seen it.
