Marcus Smart shove - OK State/Texas Tech (Video)

[Nevadaref]

Fwiw I believe that Curtis Shaw is incorrect and that the fighting rule of the NCAA does cover the situation of a player vs a fan. The rule clearly says "individual." Also there have been past such incidents.

FIFA soccer's law on violent conduct is written similarly and definitely covers any violent conduct no matter whom it is taken against. The player would be red carded.

I definitely expect clarification from the NCAA on this for next season.

Good find by Okiezebra! That video conclusively proves that Curtis Shaw is spewing nonsense. He was certainly working D1 when that Texas game was played and couldn't have been unaware of it.

This situation will likely be covered in the next bulletin on the Arbiter NCAA website on some level.

I do not blame Shaw for not remembering this past situation. He was not the supervisor and this was over 12 years ago. He probably was unaware of the situation or just forgot. And the NCAA back then did not have the video updates or information as they do today.


Peace

So you have knowledge of a precedent for ejecting a player in such a situation?

Good point, but Shaw also noted there had never been a situation like this at all.
