Throw in VIOLATION 1.3 in NIT SEMI

Dang y'all! No, we don't say that here in Nebraska. I should clarify my earlier posting. From what I saw, he was at least a foot deep from the division line in the backcourt, and moved clear over to about a foot deep past the division line into the frontcourt. That would be 2 feet. Someone mentioned 18 inches from where they're designated either way. Soooo, do the math!

I thought it was a good call. The player did move from a point behind the center line to a point in front of the center line before throwing. It was close, and I think the player was hurt by the fact that the ball was right at the center line because it gave a visual reference that made the movement look more like a violation.

I agree with ShadowStripes. You could tell the difference when the player made his move.

I thought it was a great call! Too bad they didn't call it again later on. Did I mention I went to Iowa State? All kidding aside, it looked like he moved far enough for a violation, andd just to show I'm not biased, I thought the T on Homan was well deserved. He's a jerk and has needed someone to tap him again for a few games. He throws alot of elbows after plays and is just pretty much a thug. Hopefully he learned his lesson and cleans up his play for next year.

Good discussion.

I just don't know that i agreed with the call...

The player is entitled to be out of the 3 foot area.. as long as he has a part of his foot still inside any part of that initial 3 foot area.

He may very well have been out of it... i couldn't tell.

Just seemed that it was not something that needed to be called at that juncture... ONLY BECAUSE it was so debatable wether he was actually out of the spot.

It's like in volleyball or tennis.. if a server is just barely touching the line.. and it is so close that you have to get a microscope and camera to see it. Then you probably don't call it on match point Wimbelton (spelling)

Anyhow..

Match point at Wimbeldon (spelling incorrect I think). It might have happened if one of the players was John McEnroe. Imagine the tirade that would have been!!!
