Too Early (Vol 2)

[crosscountry55]

When the coaching staff is more focused on being fans than controlling the bench, this is what happens.

Welp, there was no dispute over the end of the game, not in college.

I didn’t realize that was only a Class B. Wow, what a colossal rule kick.

Rule 10-4

Art. 2. A technical foul shall be assessed to a coach and/or all bench personnel for the following infractions:

h. Delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or by preventing continuous play, such as bench personnel entering the playing court before player activity has been terminated. In such a case, when the delay does not interfere with play, it shall be ignored;

PENALTY—Article 1 and Article 2.a through i. One free throw shall be awarded to any member of the offended team.

Reading the rule book, it seems like 10-4-2-h is perfectly tailored here and would be the most applicable which would be a kicked call...

I don't know enough about NCAA rules or interpretations, but is it possible they called too many players on the court (10-2-6) instead?

Bench personnel are not players by definition. So while the crew may have used that rule to justify shooting two FTs instead of one, they would still be massively incorrect notwithstanding the fact that a rule exists to cover this exact situation.

This play was addressed today by the NCAA rules interpreter in the latest bulletin. If you are on Ref Quest you can see what the rule reference is for this situation.

Not a single official on this crew stepped up to make sure only one free throw was shot??

Bad.
