Was this correct?

[Daryl H. Long]

Not correct.

This exact play is covered on page BR116 on NCAA Basketball Rule Book. Rule 7.5.8 See specifically AR 12.

NCAA Men: No airborne shooter rule to determine if Player Control foul was committed so count basket and if B is not in bonus then they shall be entitled to a throw-in anywhere along the endline.

NCAA women: Same as NFHS. Player control foul. No free throws. Ball OB at designated spot.

BTW; The official may have told B2 he could run the baseline but B2 may have chosen not to, therefore it may have looked like a designated spot throw-in

No, the player asked and was told he had to stay on a spot. Didn't affect the game though, no defensive pressure. Hats off to the officials though, they called a great game between the top teams in the conference.
