It is a screen by rule and interpretation. He passes off the ball so he is subjected to some screening rules. But he does not turn into the screened player and gives enough time and distance. It is not unusual in these pass off situations to have the ball handler soon to not be ball handler to kind of cause contact with the defender coming at them. This IMO was totally legal and he was turning away from contact. If turning toward contact, then we might have had a different result.

C calls a travel from behind the Butler player. Looks as if the ball was knocked loose by a bump from a defender.

This is cool. WI/FL going deep into the rule and case books tonight!

Jump ball to start overtime, common foul on WI before the AP arrow is established, bonus rule in effect. Set the arrow to WI when the ball is at the disposal of the FL free thrower. Officials spend way too much time explaining things to the coaches and table. Eventually the PA announcer explains the rule in crystal clear language, and still the announcers are confused.

No, JRut doesn't need to clip this. I just mention it because it's cool how sometimes stuff you read about but think will never happen in your game....happens.

Don't be that official that likes to boast at camps, "I'm not a rules guy, but...." Those guys aren't advancing in the tournament this year.*

*Edit: That's a general statement not aimed at the crew in this game, who actually I think have done an awesome job tonight (though I wish as a WI fan they hadn't missed that FL BI earlier because I'd be in bed already).
