Foul, then goaltending.
Watching the Miami/FSU game currently. Had a play at 14:42 1st half.
FSU player is fouled as shot in the act of shooting on the endline about 8 ft from the rim and a Miami player blocks the try either at the apex or just short of the shot starting to come down towards the rim. There was no call for a goaltend, but if there was, how would it be called? The Lead called the foul if that makes a difference here. My thinking is this: The C or T official whomever would be responsible for it (which I am not sure) would immediately hit the whistle to signal the goaltend. Let the L take the foul and the awarded basket to the table. Would there be a difference in how it is handled in Fed? |

A1 drives baseline from the T's side and gets fouled by a secondary defender in the middle of the lane. L has the whistle. While the ball is on its downward flight, B4 goaltends. The T waited about 2 seconds after the L's whistle and then had his own whistle and hammered it home. The place went nuts! To this day, it has been the best call I've seen in a provincial final. So to answer your question, I think the play would be handled the same way in Fed and NCAA. Just make the GT call before the L reports the foul. :D |
No difference in Fed or NCAA-M. "If" it's goaltending, C or T calls it - scores the basket and have the L report the foul....

One thing...
The C or T should actually let the L know there was goaltending on the shot. It's up to the L as the calling official to let the scorer's table know whether the goal counts.

Yes -- the non-foul-calling official who calls goaltending must first check with the foul calling official (in this case, the L) to make sure the L has a shooting foul. He will blow the whistle with the violation signal, catch the L going to the table and tell him what he's got. At that point, the L will count the basket and then report the foul. If for whatever reason, the L has the foul before the shot, he simply reports the foul.
You don't want the T or C to could something then have the L waive it off because the foul was before the shot. |
This is one of the few times where it might actually be ok for the Lead to call the goaltending/BI. Since the Lead is the calling official, s/he is following the path of the ball to see if it goes in the basket anyway. So that official will at least have an opinion on whether there is a violation on the play. S/he might not have the best angle, but s/he is looking right at the play.

Our partner will tell us whether there was goaltending/BI or if the ball went into the basket. That's part of the job description. |
