Looks to me his foot was down before he got the pass.

oops

Ouch.

Peace

Close, but shouldn't be missed at that level.

Missed. The foot was clearly down while the ball was still a couple of feet from getting to the player.

Cautionary tale for us all. Watch C's head. He was looking at the ball until a split second before the player caught it so there's no way to tell the player's status when he caught it. We've all done it (I know I have).

I try to talk myself into looking where the ball will end up. It's not as though it's going to take a sharp left/right turn. Find the spot where it's supposed to land and you'll find the players.

Only one foot was down in the BC. You need all three points to "reestablish" yourself in the BC.

NCAAM rulebook, coach's and announcer's edition, rule 13.7

What? You mean a guy working in the ACC might have gotten this right and 5 experts on this board were mistaken? First time that has happened.

I do have one question on your reference though. If you jump from FC to BC to catch the ball how can you have three points needed to re-establish yourself? You wouldn't have the third point until you caught the ball. Did you mean two points...I am probably reading too much into it.

You're missing the sarcasm (Rule 13.7, really?).

3 points down only applies to dribbling across the division.

Try looking up rule 13 in an NCAA-M book. ;)

I have it committed to memory. Thanks, Bob.

You should watch the Sheldon Cooper webinar on recognizing sarcasm :D
