UGA-TAMU Blarge

[Legacy Zebra]

I’m not a basketball official, but I broadcast NCAAM and NCAAW games occasionally and I wanted opinions and info. on this play. 7:10 left in the 2nd half.

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?
