FLA-Auburn pass and crash

[Jay R]

Anyone see the game this afternoon. Florida player passes the ball to a teammate and crashes into the defender. Offensive foul is charged. The refs award two free throws to Auburn. I saw the Florida coach ask the refs about the situation but no explanation was given on the telecast. Anyone know why they awarded FTs on a team control foul?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the player had passed the ball then he no longer had player control. Therefore the call can't be PC. So, since it's a personal foul which is not player control they shot the bonus.

In NCAA, no FTs for either player or team control.

Once the player passed the ball, it is no longer a player control foul.
It becomes a common foul (most likely a push) and foul shots are awarded if in the bonus.
Don't have rulebook to site, however.

It doesn't matter. In the NCAA, offensive team control fouls no longer result in FTs.

Correct. My fault, I was thinking NF.

D-I refs still do this from time to time, just to keep everyone nice and confused.

It's an amazing combination of pride and anger when you're the only official on the floor who remembers the rule, as was the case in my game last Saturday.

Trust me - it's moreso when you're the only one in stripes who remembers the rule.

And you're sitting in front of a book . . . .

With little numbers for scores printed in it . . .

The three officials were Doug Shows, Mike Kitts and Pat Adams. I don't remember who made the call, but Pat Adams was near Florida coach Billy Donovan when they were lining up for the free throws. I could Donovan's lips for part of the conversation: "I know it's not your call, but...." I'm assuming he was asking why were they shooting FT on a team control foul. In that situation, shouldn't Adams have gone to his partners to make sure they were not making a mistake?
