Murray State vs. Butler - Player Control

[CDurham]

Just saw a Player Control Foul called on a Murray State player. Here is the situation.

M2 drives the lane and jumps for a lay up. He releases the ball and while he is coming down, but with both feet still airborne, there is contact made on B1. Actually, I don't know if they called a Player Control or Common Foul on M2, they did shoot Free Throws on the other end so I' guessing a Common Foul.

Is the NCAA rule of "airborne shooter" different than NFHS??

Yes it's different with this exact result.

You might want to try and download the NCAA rulebook. I've been going to it frequently over the last couple of days to answer my own questions. Page 162 says the player-control foul rule doesn't include an airborne shooter.

NCAA men's rule: a foul by an airborne shooter is NOT a player control foul and would NOT cancel a made goal if the try was released prior to the contact. Since there is no team control once the try is released the foul would NOT be a team control foul either and the opponent would be awarded FTs if in the bonus.

NCAA women's rule: matches the NFHS rule.

I saw the play and it was administered perfectly. It was also a good call on the charge.

Wasn't that the Fed rule also, once upon a time?

Yes, changed about 20 years ago.

It was changed longer that 20 years ago, actually closer to 30 years ago but not quite.

It's certainly greater than 22, since I've always officiated with it as a rule.

It changed 27 years, 4 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 12 minutes and 42 seconds ago - but who's counting?
