A UCLA player last night ran out on the court from the bench last night after they made a 3 to go up by 1 with 3 seconds left. He was WAY out there, trying to hug the player who made the shot. I guess he thought a time-out was called, and one eventually was, but geeze.

The ref stuck his arm out in front of him, pushed him back to the bench. Good job by him, don't want a technical foul at that point.

I didn't see this play but the rule is to only T if players/fans coming on the court interfere with play.

Is this a spoken rule or a written rule?

I saw this happen and all I could do is shake my head because this has happened all tournament long. I've seen 3 times where this has happened. One of these times it's going to interfere with a play and cost a team the game! If I was a coach and one of my players did this I would go Bob Knight on them!

Art. 20. Delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or by preventing continuous play. This shall also apply to bench personnel.

ignored and play shall be continued or be resumed at the
point of interruption.

Art. 3. Delaying a game by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or by preventing continuous play.
a. When the delay does not interfere with play, it shall be ignored and play shall continue or be resumed at the point of interruption.

A.R. 9. Team B leads, 67-66. A1s two-point try for goal is successful. Two seconds remain on the game clock. Assuming that the successful try was a game-ending and winning goal, bench personnel and fans from Team A go onto the playing court to celebrate.
RULING: When the celebration causes a delay by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or prevents continuous play, an indirect technical foul shall be assessed to the offending team. Any player from Team B shall attempt the two free throws and play shall resume at the point of interruption. When the celebration does not delay or interfere with play, the celebration shall be ignored.
