NCAA shot clock question
First of all, congrats to Kyle Singler, whose team won despite being coached by, well, let's not get into that. My question is this - earlier in the tournament, I'm sure I saw a situation in which there was a jump ball called, the team that had been in control had the arrow so they got possession and the shot clock, which was at 8 seconds, was not reset. Tonight, in the title game, there was a jump called, the shot clock was at 24, Butler had the ball and since they had the arrow, they got possession but the shot clock was reset to 35.
College guys - what's the rule?

That's exactly what happened. You could even see one of the officials explaining that to Coach K...the Duke defender had sole possession of the ball prior to the held ball.

It was close, but I agree with how they called it on the floor.

I was coming on here to talk about the shot clock play but in regards to going to the monitor. I didn't think that they could go to the monitor on a play to determine possession. They could have gone if the shot clock operator reset by accident and they thought it should not have been reset. Basically a "mistake or malfunction" has to take place and neither did. I also didn't think they should have gone to the monitor on the fast break foul (that was close to being intentional). You can go to the monitor if you think a flagrant foul possibly took place but it is hard for me to believe that they were anywhere close to thinking that it was a flagrant. I think they went to the monitor for the sole purpose of seeing if an intentional foul should be called, which is not legal. I've seen this happen a number of times through out the tournament (and regular season) so maybe a bulletin came out that I am not aware of.

The only time you would have a reset on the shot clock after a tie up and the team that had possession will retain possession is after a missed shot attempt that does not hit the ring. The shot clock IS RESET if 2 players tie it up on a rebound from an airball. This only applies to Mens and NOT Womens. |

On the foul call, I believe the calling official was trailing the play, and was straight-lined from seeing the Duke defender. He properly called the foul, and because of the contact causing a player going to go hard to the floor, was then able to go to the monitor to see if a flagrant had occured. Once they review the play, they are allowed to "upgrade" the foul to an intentional or flagrant. One thing they cannot do is call a flagrant, for example, then review it and change (downgrade) it to a common foul. As much as I was rooting for Butler, I thought the officials got it right. Good use of replay in both instances, especially in a high-profile, close game.

He got it right, but I hope it wasn't because he guessed. |

There's also a chance the official saw the whole play, but went to the monitor anyway just to make sure at that critical part of the game. They have that tool available; why not use it, especially at that point?

I am trying to understand the rule so that I do it correct when I am on the court. This might actually be the proper protocol based on AR.35 "...since the officials are unable to determine if the shot clock was improperly reset they are permitted to use the monitor to make this determination...". I guess this means that officials can go to the monitor at any point in the game to see if a player gained possession in order to determine if the shot clock should or should not have been reset. I'm not sure that this is what was intended when the rule was written, but maybe it was. There was a play in the North Carolina/Rhode Island NIT game were the ball was batted toward the basket on a rebound and it hit the ring but IMO it was not a try so the shot clock should not have been reset. A shooting foul was called shortly after when they really shouldn't have had the chance to be shooting. An official on the court did recognize the situation at hand and discussed it with another official but they did not go to the monitor. At the time I was thinking oh well I guess they can't go to the monitor and that was a really difficult play. In hindsight I guess they absolutely should have gone to the monitor. Quote:

Well, let me start off by saying I've done very few (ok, 1) games with a monitor.

They went to the monitor because they believed the shot clock operator did make an error by resetting...turns out he didn't. That's what the rule is for...and they went to the monitor on the foul to be sure that it was/was not a flagrant - they then determined it wasn't. I seriously doubt they were looking to see if it was intentional as that is not how the rule is written.
In short, All_Heart, they did it exactly right both times, and reviewing those two plays should help you understand those rules better. |
