Question for you NCAA dudes (and/or dudettes)
 

Watching the Memphis - Georgetown game tonight and a T was called on a Memphis player for hanging on the rim after a dunk. The PA announcer said three times that it was not a personal foul. Why he felt he had to announce that, I don't know. But here's my question - in NCAA mens, does a player T count as one of the five fouls toward DQ, as it does in FED? Is the rule the same for NCAA womens? Thanks.

BTW - both of the announcers supported the official on the call!!! I thought I was going to fall off my chair.

In NCAAM, hanging on the rim is a Class B technical. It does not count toward the team foul total or toward a player's 5 fouls for disqualification. Three Class B technical fouls results in ejection.

I'm trying to verify, but I think hanging on the rim is a class B technical foul, which does not count towards the 5.

No.

How many classes of technicals are there?
Do any of them count the same as a personal toward the five for DQ?
Is there a class that requires only two for DQ?
Are the classes kept separately for DQ or can they be combined?

I'm referring to NCAAM. Thanks again.

1. Two classes...Class A and Class B
2. Class A counts towards the 5 for disqualification
3. Class A
4. Two Class A or a combination of Class A and B that equals 3.

Hanging on the rim? Hell, he chinned himself and used it like a trapeze. Awful hard to ignore that one.

Indeed.

NCAA: 10-6.1f

So, A & B, are sorta like direct & indirect with respect to HS coaches getting the heave-ho?

We are not smart enough to keep all those Class of T's straight on this side!!!:)

No, it's more like unsporting T's vs. anything else (delay, etc.).

Unsporting is class A.

Conduct not becoming but not quite amounting to unsporting is class B.... faces in face of opponent, hanging on rim etc.

Or that fact that no one will be hanging on the rim anytime soon. ;)

Peace
