How do you handle this mess?

Sorry, I tried to embed just the clip but got the whole game. At 44:13 is when the action happens. Made bucket with a rebound foul. This is a really a dead ball PF???

Yes that looks like they should have let that go as incidental contact. It certainly wasn't worth penalizing as dead ball contact technical-worthy. The officials should have gotten together and discussed the timing of the foul and determined that the ball was dead and declared it an inadvertent whistle.

Note that in NCAAW this year, you can have a (common) personal foul during the dead ball period after a made basket. (You could, of course, also have unsportsmanlike or disqualifying fouls, if the contact so warranted -- just as in the past, although the names have changed.)

So you can have a dead ball personal foul? Not related to an airborne shooter? Why?

It seems to me that the rules committees for both men and women are trying to get way too cute, providing solutions where there were no problems to begin with.

So the officials don't have to decide whether the contact happened just before or just after the ball passed through the basket.

Now, one might ask how contact during this dead ball period that does not rise to the level of unsportsmanlike or disqualifying (or intentional or flagrant to use FED terms) can create an advantage, but if it does...

Can you post the actual wording of the rule? I'm not doubting you at all. I'm just curious how they've worded it.

Easy...can cause thr throw-in team a delay in getting to the ball and either getting 5 second delay or allow the defense to set up a press. Obviously the former shouldnt be a factor but you never know if you get the rigbt official...

Agree 100%. Same thing with the death of first to touch/last to touch and the loose ball team control concept on the men's side. I feel the collegiate rules committees have become a bit too responsive to coaches recently, particularly in some cases of short-term reaction to the result of a big play late in the previous season with little regard for whether the issue was a truly systemic problem. As a result, many exceptions are creeping into the rule books. Rule books are supposed to eschew exceptions as much as possible. If they don't, they become increasingly confusing for officials to enforce. Coaches and ADs need to realize that sometimes a definition isn't going to work out in their favor. Change the definition or the rules logic if need be, but please avoid the use of the word "except" as much as possible in the rule and case books.

I don't work college, though when I'm done with my military career I'll probably take a crack at it (BNR is my hero). One thing I'm really concerned about is the huge gap that's starting to form between NFHS and NCAA rules. I would imagine it's getting harder and harder to switch gears between a Tuesday night varsity game and a Wednesday night D3 contest.

Agree. No foul, by rule, since the ball was dead and it wasn't intentional or flagrant.

When you go to "share" in YouTube, you go the the embed part of the pop-up and click on "Start at." Then since you wanted the game started at a certain point, you will have the video start here at that time.

For the record, I got nothing. The only foul that should be considered is maybe the foul on the shooter. But once the ball goes through the basket, it is a dead ball and the only call that should be made if it is on the big white jersey kid is a technical foul. I do not think the contact is intentional or flagrant in nature, so it needs to be left alone. But shooting bonus FTs is actually wrong in this case.

Peace
