Varsity Questions

[bas2456]

It will be a long while before I work Varsity games, but I was at a game last night, took some notes and have a few questions.

1. Grabbing the net while the ball is in the cylinder. I know it's basket interference, but I thought I saw somewhere on here that it's also a technical. Any truth to that?

2. At the end of one of the quarters, the C took last shot responsibilities. In two-man we're taught that the trail always has last shot. Is this true for two man? Wouldn't the C be watching his primary, which probably isn't where the last shot will occur?

3. Cheerleader disconcertion...is there a rule against it?

Thanks...

2. T has last shot in 2-person; opposite has it for 3-person.

3. The case plays all involve disconcertion by an opponent, but some here will defend calling this violation.

By opposite, do you mean opposite the table?

1. Not BI. Touching the net constitutes BI only if the ball is ON or IN the basket. Don't confuse 4-6-1 with 4-6-2. Not a T.

2. T has last shot in 2-person; opposite has it for 3-person.

3. The case plays all involve disconcertion by an opponent, but some here will defend calling this violation, or at least addressing the situation with game management.

Yes. That's why C had last shot in the game you saw: he must have been opposite the table.

Correct. Trail or Center, opposite table.

In NCAA-W that responsibility is always the Center's.

Would there ever be a time when the L (3-person crew) would have the last shot?

Yes, on a fast break with the C still in the backcourt.

Not unless you discuss this. And it is not impossible for the C or even the T in the right circumstance to see a last second shot. This is almost always the case they show an angle on TV that is on the other side of the court. Not sure why an official cannot see this play even far away.
