This is the point! On this board, if you're using other than NFHS rules, you should say so the first time you post. Of course, when NCAA rules make this a no-call, it's a no-call. In the NFHS, except for a few areas, it's PC every time. When newbies read this board, they need to understand that high school rules are not the same as what they see on TV, and that they should be calling the system they are assigned under. When you encourage them to think that basketball is only played by your system, it is confusing at best. Please don't muddy the waters, by giving the impression that yours is the only right way. Especially on the calls that are likely to make or break a ref, and that bring huge reactions from the crowd, it's important that the new person know clearly what the rules are and how they should be applied. This board is generally for NFHS rules, unless otherwise stated.

The NCAA rule that I quoted(R4-8-1AR6)gives you guidance on how the NCAA wants this type of play called(for men's play,anyway).Basically,you were ignoring this NCAA rule,and you were choosing to make up your own definitive rule,based on your own personal preference.You can get yourself in deep doo-doo following that slippery slope.

*SIGH*, sorry to drag this out, but....

Rule 4, Section 8, Article 6:

"...When the ball goes through the basket before contact occurs, the contact shall be ignored unless B1 has been placed at a disadvantage by being unable to rebound when the shot is missed or unable to put the ball in play without delay..."

Seems to me if A1 dunks, then hits B1, it's a no-call unless the contact was so severe that B1 can't get up in a timely fashion. The intent of the rule seems to be to penalize a layup/dunker who creates EXCESSIVE contact after the made basket, with a defender who's under the hoop. Judgement here would be on a case-by-case basis and could go EITHER way, and often does.

Article 7 (Women):

"B1 is standing directly under the basket before A1 jumps for a layup. The forward momentum of airborne shooter A1 causes A1 to run into B1. RULING: B1 is not in a legal guarding position. Blocking foul on B1."

This leans more towards my position of the shooter in this situation NOT being at fault.

I am certainly guilty of not communicating well enough in this thread. But to say I am ignoring the rule or making up my own rule based on "personal preference" is inaccurate.

I know I'm new around here, and I will always defer to the more experienced stripes, but I deserve better than that.

[/B][/QUOTE]1)The original post in this thread said that the shooter knocked the defensive player down after dunking.You said it is a "no call" in every case,no matter whether the defensive player is now unable to put the ball into play without delay.You never have a foul on the shooter,no matter what.That is contrary to the rule that you quoted above(AR6).Wouldn't you call knocking someone down creating "EXCESSIVE contact" too,Btw?
2)Womens AR7 says it should be a blocking foul.You say it is a "no call" instead.
3)You now say above "Judgement here would be on a case-by case-basis and could go EITHER way,and often does".That's completely different than the stance that you originally took-i.e.it's never a foul on the shooter.

Comments?

My question is in a play like this what is the contact? Does he bump him and would b1 have a fair chance of getting the rebound if he was in position to do so? Or does a1 knock him off the court? I am looking at the type of contact in this play. If we have a crash and one or both players get knocked over, not a flop, I have PC. If they both bump or if b1 flops, play on.

Agreed...as I said in my last post, definitely my fault for not communicating my thoughts correctly. The big difference between talking with someone and posting in a chat room, something I am not used to.

My intention was to say that in these "under the basket" situations, PC foul is sometimes but NOT ALWAYS the right call (such as the original situation stated which I still maintain was one where shooter should not be penalized).

My other point was that we officials constantly massage the rules, apply/do not apply them, according to the natural flow of the game, and this may be an example of that.

As Jim Rome says....[B]"I am out".[B]

[/QUOTE]Good points!I can see a little bit better now where you are coming from.

In NFHS rules,which you don't use and aren't used to,the play where an airborne shooter knocks a defender(in a legal gaurding position) down when he returns to the floor is usually called an player contol foul.The rules state that that is the way that the play should be called.
NCAA rules give an official more latitude,and allows them to use more judgement in deciding whether to call something or not.IMO,if someone is getting run over big-time,you're usually better off calling the appropriate foul rather than no-calling it,though.

Canuckref, I was pretty much right with you until you said. . .

I wish Rome's show would go "out". Permanently.

Exactly - which is precisely why they stand there.

If A1 has a clear path to the hoop, he is entitled to shoot and land however he wants.


Sure, but we can call a foul if he contacts an opponent who has legal guarding position.

Quote:
If B1 is in his way, that's his problem.


If by "his" you mean A1, then I'm in full agreement with you.

I tend to look at this like the game of chess - you can "prevent" a player from moving into a space by putting your knight in a position to capture any piece moved into that square. B1 is allowed to position himself such to force A1 to alter his (A1's) course - it's no different 10 feet out from the basket as it is under the basket. If A1 is not willing to change his direction: PC foul.
Mark,

I could not have said it better myself. Well done.

No, but that kind of crap is exactly what I hate about "Romey". He and his callers spend the 3 hours trying waaaaayyyyyyyyy too hard to be clever and just aren't smart or funny enough to pull it off. How many times can you say "Have a take. . . and don't suck" and have people think that's good enough to carry a show for 3 hours a day?!?! I just can't stand the stupid show.

Chuck
