Michigan State vs Purdue

[stiffler3492]

NCAA M Rules for reference:

Flagrant Foul: 6. Illegal contact with an elbow that occurs above the shoulders of an
opponent when the elbows are not swung excessively per 4-36.7.a.

Contact dead ball technical foul (from Rule 4): A contact dead ball technical foul
occurs when the ball is dead and involves contact that is unnecessary,
unacceptable and excessive, but does not rise to the level of a flagrant 2
contact technical foul.

The flagrant foul rule says nothing about the ball being live in order to have a flagrant foul, and the technical foul definition calls for contact to be unnecessary, unacceptable, and excessive.

The way I interpret it, the play fits both definitions, so it could have gone either way, but with the ball being dead they went T.

What about the ball location after the fact? The play happened under B's basket, so wouldn't the POI be there instead of being inbounded at center court opposite?
