CCA Men's Basketball Change.

Has there been a change in the "table side" mechanic after fouls on the NCAA Men's side?

I was at a camp this weekend for just one day and we had to use this supposed change. I am sure the change is for real, but I did not see any indication on any of the website. Does anyone have a reference to this change?

We were told the same thing at a JUCO camp I went to in April. I'm hoping this isn't changed for sure because personally I think it's just a way for college to be different than HS. Going to the table just makes more sense.

So what is the supposed change? Do you go opposite the table to C like it was before?

The calling official goes opposite table as it was about 4 years ago. You do not go to the "C" specifically. I just was told this on Sunday. I do not know much detail other than it was confusing as hell when I was working games. There was even a situation where it would have served me well to go table side.

I've heard this is coming.

Looks like the grand experiment to encourage coach/official dialogue has come to an end. But when you think about it, typically we only stand by the unhappy coach after fouls in the first half, when his team is on defense. In the second half you usually hear "Good call, keep it up!" Unless you're going TC foul but then we used to just slide. Speaking of that, did they say how to handle FT's on the other end? Calling official goes where? Away from the table to C?

I personally like going tableside and if needed, having a reasonable conversation with the coach. Seems to me that if you go opposite, now the coach has to raise his voice to discuss.

On the other hand, I went to watch a hs neighbor play in a waterpolo match last week. One observation was that not one time during the entire match did any coach or player question an officials call. It was amazing to watch them just accept the calls and move on.

Unless you do like they instruct us to do here...stand on the division line about 6 feet from the sideline until shooting the last free throw (basically on the "button" where the volleyballl post is anchored). If the coach has a question about the call, they just move close to the division line and ask. The distance is enough that the conversation must be loud enough for the other coach to here as well.
