Villanova v. Georgetown

[JugglingReferee]

I could very easily have a flagrant foul. At minimum, it's an INT.

In FIBA, it's a minimum UNS foul, possibly DQ.

In either ruleset, I hope I'd lean towards a DQ if I saw the elbow to the head.

NFHS rule set, I have intentional. I'm not quite sold on flagrant, as I believe the intent was to push with the arm, not the elbow.

If anyone in my crew had suggested FF2 I would have no problem going with it.

As a GU alum I'm willing to be charitable and leave it as a Flagrant 1. It was excessive/unnecessary but not severe.

I also have it as a live ball foul. The contact took place before the try entered the basket.

I probably would go with an intentional/FF1 on this. I just am wondering where the contact first took place, in the chest or in the head and I would be more sold on the actual call either way.

A question: Can they go to the monitor even though a foul was not called? I was under the impression that they could upgrade a foul, but in this case, none of the officials actually called a foul - they all have open hands up in the air. So is it correct procedure to go from nothing to an FF1?

Rule 2-13-2d:

2. When officials err and fail to observe the fouls according to 2-13-2.d.1 or a fight, they are permitted to correct and penalize these infraction(s), with the use of a monitor review, when the act occurs:

a. When the game clock was stopped, it must be corrected:

1. During the first dead ball after the clock was properly started.

b. When the game clock was running, it must be corrected:

1. During the first dead ball after the clock was properly stopped; or

2. Before the second live ball when the ball became dead after a successful goal but the clock continued to run.

Basically it's handled like a correctable error.
