Video Request - Syracuse vs Duke (Video)

[grunewar]

This ESPN article also has some great isolation video of Boeheim's reaction from several different angles.....

Referees made right call at end of Syracuse Orange-Duke Blue Devils game, official says - ESPN

From the article: "The timing of this particular call, with the NCAA tournament right around the corner, will only add to the heightened scrutiny officials are facing."

(Someone can isolate the video - I gotta learn how to do that!)

I'm not a college official so need to understand how this is different from the year before.

According to the article they added, "A defensive player is not permitted to move into the path of an offensive player once he has started his upward motion with the ball to attempt a field goal or pass. If the defensive player is not in legal guarding position by this time, it is a blocking foul."

Based on my limited understanding of what the college guys have been told about it how is this different than what they might have called the year before. Thanks.

From the 2011-12 Rulebook:

Section 35. Guarding

Art. 4. To establish an initial legal guarding position on the player with the ball:

d. When the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard shall have attained
legal guarding position before the opponent left the playing court.
(Exception: Rule 4-35.7)

From the 2014-15 Rulebook:

Section 17. Guarding

Art. 4. To establish an initial legal guarding position on the player with the ball:

d. When the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard shall have attained
legal guarding position before the opponent begins his upward motion
with his hands/arms to shoot or pass. (Exception: Rule 4-17.7)

In prior years the defender had until the offensive player became airborne (both feet having left the floor) to obtain a legal guarding position. The new rule shifts that point to when the offensive player begins his upward movement with his hands and arms. So in NCAA men's games defenders need to get there earlier this year.
