Gonzaga vs Ohio State - DOG?

[Raymond]

If the team that just scored taps or gives the ball to the nearest opponent I'm not seeing how that delays the game. It's not the same as throwing the ball to an official.

[LRZ]

Tapping the ball to an opponent and tapping the ball away are too radically different acts. With all due respect to Mr. Kenney, there are other ways to deal with this, eg, by letting the clock continue to run (in HS or NCAA back then).

Agree it's situational (need some context), and if needed the first step should be, again, if needed, "leave the ball alone".

How about tapping the ball to prevent the ball from hitting one on the head? Or tapping the ball with one's foot as one trips over the ball? How about wrong place, wrong time, and one carelessly catches the ball? Can one legally do anything except place the ball on the floor? Like tap it to an opponent, or to an official, or just tap it barely out of bounds directly under the basket? All of these only done one time? Or maybe twice in the entire game?

Not every touch by a player on the team that scored is a delay of game. It's never automatic. Every situation should be handled differently.

Players were right there to inbound. Delay tactic. Call the DOG.

I just found it strange that the call came from C, who was miles away.

BTW, isn't it a team warning for delay? In this game as well as another I saw, the PA announcer indicated it was on a specific player. In the other game, the ref was overheard telling the table the number of the player. Are DOG warnings noted to be on specific players?

Sometimes officials may not have the fortitude to make such a call, who knows. Or maybe they weren't aware that a player may have been warned. Such infractions can be called by any official (usually the new T or C can make this).

There is an esteemed admin on this board who was part of such a situation and a 5 second call .

Are we sure the call was from Slot or was it just Slot who reported it to the table to speed up the game.
