Is he really a secondary defender? Now this could be a different classification in the NBA rule, but in college the SA player was cutting to the basket and did not beat anyone. Would that be a secondary defender in NCAA rules? I was under the impression that was only the right classification if you beat someone. He went right to the basket and got the ball in the lane on a pass, that seems he is the primary defender. Maybe I should review the ruling they gave on the NCAA video, but that does not seem to fit the classification of a secondary defender.
