Secondary defender slides in front of the ball handler just about the time he goes up for a shot that ends up going in. The defender may or may not have established LGP. L has block, T has charge. They went to the monitor during a commercial break and ended up waving off the basket, charging each player with a personal foul, and then going to the possession arrow. The offense had the arrow, so they got the ball with a 20 second reset on the shot clock.

1. Is this the proper procedure for a double foul?

2. When does a defender have to establish LGP in NCAAM? When the shooter starts his upward motion? When he leaves the floor?

3. Is the restricted area reviewable? That was the only reason I could think of that they could go to the monitor.

4. If somebody has video, were the two fouls correct? Why or why not?

NCAAW Answers:

1) Yes, but this wouldn't be a double foul in NCAAW -- the official who has the primary responsibility would report that foul.

2) Leave the floor

3) Yes -- only whether the defender was in (well, had established initial position in) the arc, and whether the play started in the LDB. Whether LGP was obtained is not (supposed to be) reviewable
