USC player pushed Kansas player into shooter
 

This was a play in the first couple of minutes of the second half in the KU / USC game.

A1 drives to the basket with an open layup. B1 pushes A2 into A1 and I think A1 made the basket. B1 is called for the foul and if I remember correctly A1 shot 1 free throw.

Is this right in High School or College?

The basket counts regardless because A1 had started the habitual try for goal. I would then think that Team A would get a throw-in on the endline or A2 would shoot bonus free throws if they are in the bonus. To recap B1 never touched A1.

As described, I agree with you.

I didn't see the play described, but I did watch some of this game. I was casually watching most of it and I was extremely impressed with the defensive intensity and how the game was called. USC is definitiely becoming a Tim Floyd team.

After reading the NCAA rulebook I agree with you. I would also think whether to rule intentional the foul by B1.

The same would be in FIBA (but the foul could be unsportsmanlike, not intentional which does not exist) :) Don't know in NF

You are correct for both HS and college. Count the basket and give A2 1-and-1 or a throw-in closest to the spot of the foul.

In the NBA, A2 would shoot 1 free throw with players lined up to rebound.

Did they give the ball to A? Or shoot a one and one if the bonus was in effect?

Does that mean that they'll win about 20% of their games, just like the Bulls?

Sorry....couldn't help myself. :D

I think they had A1 shoot 1 free throw.

Is there a case play for this specific play?

What rules would I cite for this play?

Another interesting play in the game -
Near the 12:00 mark in the 1st half, a USC bench player (B6) was up to check-in to the game. KU, A1, dribbling up the sideline, was unintentionally tripped by B6, and fell with the ball. A1 could have either been called for a travel or OOB violation, as it was hard to tell which happened first. Officials saw the incident and were aware of what happened.

Officials gave the ball to KU for a throw-in.

There is actually another thread on this play: http://forum.officiating.com/showthread.php?t=29916

Yeah, he wasn't much of a pro coach. I really didn't expect him to succeed in that kind of environment. I was at Iowa State when he was there and loved watching his teams play D. We never had much of an offense, but neither did anyone we played. Funny post though! :D

In his defense, he got handed just a terrible pro team. No talent at all. God himself couldn't have won with that particular Bulls team.

Who's he? :D

True enough. I think he's definitely more fitted to the college game. His demanding style would wear thin with the guys making big $$$$ in a hurry. His teams do know how to play some great defense though. I've never seen a team play perimeter defense like his last ISU team. You just never got an open look against them.

That's so beautiful I may tear up. Is it possible to laugh so hard you cry? I think it is.

You know, without even looking at that site, I think I know the content. I'm heading out for lunch. I may or may not park in the garage, shut the door, and let the car run at the mere mention on Hampton.:D

By the way, I have the same reaction anytime someone mentions Michigan State and blarges in the same sentence.:D

Don't forget technical fouls. :)

Larry certainly got his money's worth that night. I actually have never seen his whole tirade in that game. I had gotten so frustrated by then that I quit watching. I might have begun drowning my sorrows by then. :D

They probably would have lost anyway at that point, but the tirade sure didn't help. I remember watching it, wondering if he'd lost his mind. Now we know he'd probably been up partying with the Spartan coeds the night before.

The game was over by the time he went off. It was basically over on Morris' alley oop dunk. The rest of the game was all academic. I will say that I have a hard time watching replays of that game. There's other loses I can take, but that one was difficult. I really think ISU was the second best team in the nation that season, especially around tournament time. I could go off on things like neutral gamesites that happen to be in Michigan and such, but I won't. We all know what a bunch of cheaters the Big 11 is!:D

I work 10 minutes from the campus. That was a big win for the folks around here.
