Thanks for posting. I agree with you...the way this is written, it seems there are only two possibilities for going to replay in this situation. The first, to determine the severity of a fall called for contact wouldn't apply here because there wasn't a foul called on that play. If the rule was properly applied, the only possibility then was that Coach Smart asked them to take a look.

It seems to me though, that the intent here is to use replay to determine the severity of a foul that had been called. I hope we don't get to the day where it is acceptable to use replay to determine if a travelling violation occured...

About 30 seconds into the clip you see the officials speaking with the coach. That's probably when he was making the request since the crew couldn't have gone to the monitor on its own.

If this was NCAAW the crew could've checked on its own since we - women's officials - can check for both F1s and F2s without a coach's request.

Any idea what the rationale is for the difference between the men's and women's rule?

Do most of you think the outcome was correct? Or could they have resulted in incidental contact, if that is an option?

The men's and women's rules makers don't want to work together. There is no good reason for most of the mens/womens differences.
