OSU vs Miami

[grunewar]

I profess my ignorance here to college rules. From a story on last night's game:

"The senior guard was ejected for a flagrant foul midway through the first half after he took a swipe with the palm of his hand at Anthony Crater, brushing his face. The contact came almost immediately after Crater hit McClinton in the face while guarding him."

"Crater fell briefly to his knees in pain but remained in the game. The officials consulted a TV replay, then ejected McClinton."

I don't believe the refs called the foul until after the replay. So, other than buzzer beaters, what can be reviewed at this level? Thanks.

Television replay equipment may be used to determine if a flagrant foul occurred.

The initial contact could be incidental -- looks like player is going for the ball. However, you *could* call a foul on that -- but it is very difficult to see real-time and from the angle in the video. The second contact is easier because the player grabs his face -- an indicator 99% of the time that he was hit in the eye (1% of the time they are faking b*%tards!)

If there is the possibility of a flagrant foul we have to go to the monitor, so when the officials go to the monitor they might see the first contact, but they cannot go back and call it a foul at that point. But they can confirm that his reaction was flagrant and toss him, which is what he did.

You can also review the monitor to see if it was a fight.

An NCAA bulletin came out of this very subject just last week.
