Block/Charge:John Adams Theroy

[zebraman]

I wonder if the original post in this thread was not related word-for-word. Is it possible that John Adams said (or meant) "when the ball has passed through the basket" rather than "when the ball has left the players hand" and is it possible that he meant to say that it is a no-call rather than a block?

Here is a quote from last year's NCAA men's POI's:

This year, the charge and block situations occurring at the basket area are
the points of emphasis. Any illegal contact that occurs at the basket area by
either the offensive or defensive player (block, charge, player control fouls)
shall be accordingly penalized as prescribed by the rules. Only when the
following occurs shall the penalty not be applied:

2. When the defensive player has legally established a position under the
basket and contact occurs after the ball passes through the net, unless
the defensive player has been placed at a disadvantage (e.g., inability to
rebound, unable to put ball in play without delay.)

For those of you who dont know, John is the newly appointed NCAA National Coordiator of Officials, bascially he runs the Tournament in March.

Here is what John said:

The offensive players goal is to try and score the basketball and the job of the defense is to prevent the offense from scoring, then how can the defense be preventing the offense from scoring when standing under the basket trying to take a charge when the ball is out of the offesive players hand for a layup.

Basically what thats saying is that instead of having an arc drawn on the floor, that play is a block everytime. No matter how long they were standing there. After hearing that I fully agree with that philosophy

MOfficial:

Based upon the fact that you made the above post at 08:03pmEDT. Can I assume that you heard John talk about his block/charge philosophy at the NASO Officiating Summit in Cleveland, Ohio.
