No, but they could legislate that no substitutes can take place in this instance. Butler had one guy who's four-year role was to throw full-length inbound passes. Never played otherwise. Nice weapon to have, but in last night's game wouldn't have been available without the monitor check (or a quick transfer to Arizona, for that matter).

It wouldn't be much, but it's something.

It actually looked like the AZ player going to do the throw in asked for a TO and the monitor was a way to not have a Chris Weber moment.

Yes, they could re-write the rule to match the NCAA-W rule about subs in the last minute after a made basket. But it won't stop the reviews that occur and the teams gathering at their benches during this time frame.

If the coaches want this rule changed, it'll get changed.
