Yes, THAT'S the one I mean. Does the NCAA even recognize that "imaginary area," the dreaded restricted area?

As of this year, but it was too soon to have the circle painted.

And for what college did Clark Kellog play and graduate from:

The Ohio State University

now don't go dissing their study of cheese major. just because a few (dozen) football players graduate without being able to read doesn't mean Ohio St. or its fabulous sewing classes should be looked down upon.

While not a fan of his, personally, I didn't mind Kellogg last night.

Just like an official, he gets one wrong ever now and again too. Shrug.

Getting one wrong because he saw something different than the rest of us is excusable. Expressing misinformation, especially in his role, is not.

Had Kellogg said, "I believe Scheyer tried to get legal guarding position after the shooter had left the floor," then fine. I don't agree with that, but at least there's a fact (rule) behind the opinion. When someone passes on a rationale with no rules basis ("jumping into the path"), it only adds to the rule myths we have to battle.

How else is a defender suppose to defend at dribbler if he doesn't get "in the path?" The statement by itself makes no sense at all. Every charge drawn by the defender on the dribbler means he was "in the path," and it is perfectly legal to jump into the path and gain a legal guarding position at the high school/college level as long as he does so before the player is airborne. I think it was just a case of an announcer trying to use some officiating vernacular but incorrectly. Now if he said he jumped in the path after the player was airborne, then he would have some backing from the book.

On the play in question, I do believe it was a blocking foul as the defender slide to his right and obtained his guarding position after the ball handler was airborne.
