NCAA/NFHS difference
What are people's opinions of the different penalty for this in an NCAA game than the NFHS game? Which method do you prefer?
NCAA The following are several important corrections that were inadvertently omitted from the 2008 NCAA Basketball Rules Book when the committee reorganized Rule 10: Rule 10-4.8, PENALTY will read: “(Men) Any individual who leaves the bench and enters the playing court, but does not participate in the fight, shall not be assessed a technical foul (no free throws awarded). That individual shall be ejected but not subject to suspension. Note: the penalty does not apply toward team foul total.” NFHS Bench personnel leaving the team bench during a fight or when a fight may break out: (1) Do NOT participate in the fight – all players leaving bench are assessed flagrant fouls and disqualified, the head coach is assessed a maximum of one indirect technical foul (regardless of the number leaving the bench). If the number of each team's offenders is corresponding, no free throws are awarded, and the ball is put in play at the point of interruption. If the number of each team's offenders is unequal, a maximum of two free throws are awarded the offended team, followed by a division line throw-in opposite the table. The fouls do add to the team total. |
I like the high school method. It's clearer. Ejecting without a technical foul?

If I am reading this correctly: If Team A has three players leave the bench and Team B has 1 player leave the bench - then Team B would get two free throws and the ball at the division line?
And all five players are ejected - obviously. coaches indirect Ts and required to sit? |

I always found the "all players leaving bench are assessed flagrant fouls and disqualified" a bit harsh. While I understand the intent, in the heat of the moment when tempers flare, those first few seconds, a player(s) jumps up and steps a few feet onto the court......yet not participating or really getting near the fray? Are they really "leaving the bench?"

Why start a new thread? Just checking to see if the scenario was correct...
