BC violation call in Gonzaga at Xavier
 

Could someone post a video clip of the BC violation call in the Gonzaga at Xavier game which occurred with about 51 seconds remaining?

I saw it
 

Couldn't quite believe it. Two points in front court, one pretty obviously in backcourt and both T and C call it. We all mess up from time to time but I was surprised to see both of them giving the mechanic, even though the C was the only one to blow his whistle.

I did see it on ESPN, looking to find footage. It would be great to show at meetings. I have a little mechanic, not standard, when I am trail bringing up the offense in the back court and there is pressure along the division line, I will sort of mini chop the division line when dribbler 3 pts are in front court, then I immediately switch arms to start a 5 second count in front court.

Wow!
 

I saw this play and jumped out of my chair in disbelief....

Announcer, "That's a tough one."

Really?

I like the C's positioning.

It's A Rhetorical Question ...
 

Back when I was coaching middle school, I used to tell my players that, under no circumstances, were they to make any "East West" moves when they were anywhere near the division line. If NCAA officials can make this mistake, do you think that middle school officials could make the same mistake?

I guess I can see how the T could be fooled by this -- when the player dribbles and it comes up to his hand, it sure looks like everything is in the frontcourt -- from 30 feet away. Of course, he should've been mindful that the player was dribbling and that he needed to see where the ball itself was striking the court during the dribble.

It's one of those calls that nobody *live* probably thought was incorrect -- it's only officials that know the rule and after replays are shown where someone will say, "wait a minute...."

I'll give credit to the announcer. IMO, he knows this was likely not a correct call but he didn't spend 30 minutes ripping the officials over it.
