There is a big part of that equation. We are not Teddy Valentine a multiple Final Four official. He has the ability to do things we would get questioned on depending on who we work for. I just watched the NCAA Video where they JD Collins discussed post play and calls and this call fits in that area. That is why I am OK with the call because a lot less was advocated to be called by the NCAA and JD Collins. I might be in the minority in this position, but I bet it was supported and probably something he was trying to address earlier in the game.

I agree. The JD Collins videos contain contact that is so marginal that they want called. They are trying their best to hammer home freedom of movement (period).

In a couple years it will be something else, and so on and so forth.

Very good.....this is the only answer on this thread that really matters !!!!!

Play #2: The resumption of play inbound pass should have been at the 28-foot demarcation line of Michigan' frontcourt.

You mean the out of bounds throw-in spot?

Peace

Yes, that is what I meant.

No it should not have. Think about what the rule says, and who the violation is on.

That is not quite what the rules state. Rule 7-3-2c says:

Since this was a violation as stated in 7-3-1a says:

c. Throw-ins (Rule 7-3 and 7-4). The following throw-in provisions are in effect immediately:

(2) Backcourt.

When the offensive team commits an offensive foul or violation (including causing the ball to be out of bounds) or the defense is awarded the ball after a held ball, the throw-in for the defensive team (now becomes the offense) will be at the closest of the four spots using the line of demarcation.

Frontcourt throw-ins after a violation are done at the one of the 4 designated throw-in spots. That has been part of the pre-game for every college game I've done this season.

My bad, I did not read your original post carefully enough to notice the word Michigan's. That makes a big difference, having missed that key word, I thought you were saying the throw in should be at the 28 foot line in the back court.

And yes, I was aware of the updated memo from Art.

I had the same question. Looks like the television scoreboard was not updated quickly enough. The rebounding foul was the 7th on Michigan.
