Delay or 5 seconds

had that happen this past season and asked a big-time D1/Final Four official about it.....

There's an NFHS case book play that covers this exactly...it's a violation as soon as it's obvious the team isn't going to throw the ball in. This is not a delay of game warning.

NCAA ruling?

Probably depends on whether or not you're a big time Final 4 official.

It seems as though the more trusted an official is, the more you can DoWhatYaLike... unfortunately.

My guess, with this play, is that the question was posed in a way that was unclear.

If he really said it was a DOG warning, I can't imagine he understood what was being asked.

Or, we have a classic game of telephone spiced with anonymous name dropping.

1) the D1 guy might not do any FED

2) I don't think it's specifically covered by an AR in NCAA (but I could be wrong, and I don't have my books handy)

3) When it was first postited here (or McGriff's), lots of support for "immediate violation", "bring them back and make them do it over", "wait 5 seconds and then a violation" and maybe other answers.

So, he could have been giving an honest answer and not a "DoWhatYouLike" answer.
