Thoughts and questions from Duke/WV
No-called backcourt situation. WV had the ball near the line, and Duke slapped it up into the air. WV player retreated to the BC and caught the ball before it hit the floor in the BC.
Official no-called it and gave the foul-tip signal. My first thought, "They missed that one." Then I kept thinking, and realized this is the play where it seems the case play (NFHS) contradicts the rule. I'm not sure if NCAA has the same interp.
Injury on an illegal screened (great call) with just under 8 minutes left, it looked like a TV timeout. The turds with the microphones indicated that the injured player was allowed to stay in due to the timeout. My question, does a TV timeout suffice for this, or would a coach need to use one of his own in order to keep the player in the game? I have no idea how they did it, it just made me curious.
